Cross-Profile Intent Resolution in Hierarchical User Profiles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing operating systems struggle to efficiently resolve intents across multiple user profiles while maintaining security and isolation, particularly in nested or hierarchical relationships, leading to complex and redundant configurations of intent filters.
Innovation Solution
A cross profile intent resolution mechanism that utilizes cross profile intent filters to dynamically traverse user profile hierarchies, allowing intents to be resolved seamlessly across nested relationships without direct communication between each profile, thereby simplifying filter management and enhancing security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If direct communication between each user profile is established for intent resolution, then intent resolution efficiency is improved, but security and isolation between profiles deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a system-level intent resolution mechanism that acts as an intermediary between user profiles. Instead of direct communication, intents are resolved through a centralized system that traverses the profile hierarchy using cross profile intent filters, maintaining security and isolation while enabling efficient intent resolution across profiles.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the intent resolution process into distinct phases: local resolution within the source profile, graph traversal through intermediate profiles, and resolution in target profiles. This segmentation allows each phase to be controlled independently through cross profile intent filters, balancing efficiency with security.
2Adaptability or versatility
If complex graph traversal is implemented for nested user profiles, then adaptability to hierarchical arrangements is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal intent resolution mechanism that handles multiple profile relationship types (direct connections, nested hierarchies, parent-child relationships) through a single graph traversal algorithm. This multi-functional approach increases adaptability while managing complexity through a unified processing paradigm.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs dynamic graph traversal that adapts to the actual structure of user profile hierarchies. The system dynamically determines traversal paths based on the profile graph structure and cross profile intent filter configurations, allowing flexible handling of nested arrangements without requiring complex static configurations for each scenario.
3Reliability
If cross profile intent filters are configured for each profile pair, then security control is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple cross profile intent filters into a unified filter management system. Instead of managing filters for each profile pair independently, the system consolidates filter configurations and applies them during graph traversal, simplifying operation while maintaining comprehensive security control across the profile hierarchy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service filter resolution where the intent resolution mechanism automatically applies the appropriate cross profile intent filters during graph traversal without requiring manual configuration for each profile pair. The system self-determines which filters apply based on the traversal path and profile relationships.
Data Source
AI summary
A device, method and article of manufacture related to a mechanism for cross profile intent resolution is disclosed. An example method includes, in response to detecting a first user input associated with a first user profile stored on the computing device, generating a first intent that corresponds to the first user input, applying a sequence of cross profile intent filters to traverse a user profile hierarchy from the first user profile to a second user profile stored on the computing device, wherein the traversal of the user profile hierarchy is based on a successful resolution of each cross profile intent filter of the sequence of cross profile intent filters, identifying an application associated with the second user profile and configured to satisfy the first intent, and providing functionality from the application to satisfy the first intent via the first user profile.
