Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing connector services are not optimized for complex and diverse environments, lacking rights protection and advertising effects for creators of conditional actions, and do not effectively manage permissions for actions and conditions in rulesets.

Innovation Solution

An improved connector service that enables configuring permissions to disable modification or deletion of conditions or actions in rulesets, enhancing rights protection and advertising effects by allowing limited permissions for reading, modification, and deletion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If connector services provide basic conditional action functionality, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability and creator rights protection deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of operationVSAvoidreliability

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the ruleset into distinct components with different permission levels. The ruleset is divided into public portions (read-only) and protected portions (read-write), allowing different levels of access and modification for different parts of the same data structure, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different parts of the ruleset are assigned different quality attributes in terms of permissions. The action definition portion has full read-write access for modification, while the condition definition portion has read-only access, creating local quality differences that balance operational flexibility with reliability and creator rights protection.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of operation

If connector services allow full modification of rulesets, then ease of operation is improved, but creator rights protection deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of operationVSAvoidcreator rights protection

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the ruleset into protected and unprotected sections. The action definition can be modified freely while the condition definition remains protected, allowing users to operate easily on permissible parts while protecting creator rights on critical parts.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different local regions of the ruleset have different permission qualities. The action portion has high modifiability (read-write) while the condition portion has low modifiability (read-only), creating a local quality distinction that simultaneously enables ease of operation and protects creator rights.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If connector services implement permission management for rulesets, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovereliabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The permission management system is designed as a universal mechanism that handles multiple functions: it protects creator rights, enables selective modification, maintains data integrity, and provides advertising effect preservation. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate complex systems for each function, thereby managing device complexity while improving reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The permission system is dynamic rather than static, allowing flexible control over which parts of the ruleset can be modified and under what conditions. This dynamic approach enables reliable permission management without requiring overly complex rigid structures, as the system can adapt to different usage scenarios.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

4Reliability

If connector services limit permission for reading, modification, and deletion, then creator rights protection is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecreator rights protectionVSAvoidease of operation

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the ruleset into portions with different permission levels. Users can easily operate on the action definition portion (read-write) while the condition definition portion remains protected (read-only), thus balancing creator rights protection with ease of operation through segmentation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different local portions of the ruleset have different operational qualities. The action portion allows full modification operations for ease of operation, while the condition portion has restricted operations to protect creator rights, creating a local quality distinction that resolves the contradiction.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

The disclosure relates to sharing of information regarding a conditional action in an electronic device. The device includes a communication module for processing a signal for communication with other devices, and a processor. Herein, the at least one processor receives a ruleset including information regarding at least one conditional action from another electronic device via the communication module, and executes the ruleset. The ruleset may include at least one ruleset of which a permission for at least one of reading, modification, and deletion is limited.
