Solution Overview

Problem

Organizations face challenges in continuously ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, as existing systems lack real-time detection and automated escalation of non-compliance issues related to access to customer data.

Innovation Solution

A compliance management system that utilizes a processor to evaluate permission tokens and service requests, generating alerts and recommending security actions when compliance is breached, and includes an escalation matrix for notifying authorities and invalidating permissions to maintain data access controls.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual compliance monitoring is used, then system complexity is reduced, but compliance detection speed and reliability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance detection reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining compliance rules, permission token validation criteria, and escalation matrices before compliance events occur. This allows automated real-time monitoring without complex manual intervention, resolving the contradiction between reliability and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The compliance management system performs self-service by automatically detecting non-compliance events, validating permission tokens, generating alerts, and executing security actions without human intervention. This automation improves reliability while the modular architecture keeps complexity manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Speed

If real-time compliance monitoring is implemented, then compliance detection speed improves, but processing time and system resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance detection speedVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Compliance rules, permission token formats, and validation criteria are pre-configured and cached before runtime. This preliminary preparation enables rapid real-time monitoring without extensive processing during compliance checks, resolving the contradiction between detection speed and processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces complex mechanical compliance verification processes with automated electronic validation of permission tokens and service requests. This substitution enables real-time monitoring with minimal processing overhead, improving speed without proportional increases in processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Reliability

If access controls are restricted to ensure compliance, then data security improves, but operational flexibility deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidoperational flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic access controls through time-limited permission tokens that automatically expire and can be revoked. Service operators gain flexibility to access customer data when needed for legitimate service requests, while compliance is maintained through automated monitoring and automatic expiration of permissions. This resolves the contradiction between data security and operational flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes access control parameters dynamically by issuing permission tokens with specific expiration times and scopes based on service requirements. This allows operational flexibility for legitimate access while maintaining data security through automated parameter management and compliance monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Reliability

If comprehensive compliance monitoring is implemented, then compliance coverage improves, but false positive rate increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance coverageVSAvoidcompliance detection precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where compliance monitoring results are continuously evaluated and refined. When non-compliance events are detected, the system validates permission tokens and service requests, then uses escalation matrices to notify appropriate personnel. This feedback loop improves compliance coverage while reducing false positives through iterative refinement of detection criteria.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

Comprehensive compliance rules and validation criteria are pre-configured to cover various scenarios, but they include precision-tuned conditions to minimize false positives. The preliminary setup of detailed compliance policies enables broad coverage while maintaining detection precision through carefully defined validation logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Compliance management is disclosed. A user can submit a data request, which can trigger the generation of a permission token for a service operator and a service request for the data request. An identified service operator can be provided with exclusive permissions to solve the data request. Access to data is managed to allow non-compliance to be detected and addressed. An attempt is made to locate the performance token and the service request associated with a customer data request. Further, the permission token and service token can be evaluated. A compliance state is set to non-compliant when a search fails to locate the permission token and the service token or when the permission token is expired or the service request is invalid. If the compliance state is non-compliant, an alert or security action can be initiated.
