Data Allocation System for Device-Specific Sensitivity Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Network operators face challenges in providing 24/7 data access while managing budget constraints, and user mobility increases security concerns due to the need for secure data handling on personal devices, which can compromise quality of experience when routing data through these devices.
Innovation Solution
The system allocates inputs and outputs between devices based on sensitivity levels and user preferences, using a primary device for sensitive data and a secondary device for less sensitive data, ensuring security and quality of experience by selecting the most appropriate device for data transmission during communication sessions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If data is routed to personal devices for user mobility and access, then user convenience and accessibility are improved, but security concerns worsen due to absence of employer controls
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments data into different types (sensitive vs. non-sensitive) and routes them through different devices. Personal devices handle non-sensitive data while employer-managed devices handle sensitive data, resolving the security-convenience contradiction through functional segmentation of data handling pathways
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different security policies and control mechanisms to different data types and devices. Sensitive data receives strict employer controls when routed through personal devices, while non-sensitive data enjoys greater freedom, creating localized quality adjustments that balance security and convenience
2Ease of operation
If data is routed through personal devices, then user mobility is improved, but quality of experience worsens in some instances
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically selects which device handles which data based on real-time conditions, data type, and device availability. The system adapts routing decisions rather than using fixed rules, allowing optimal quality of experience while maintaining mobility benefits through flexible, context-aware device selection
3Reliability
If employer controls are implemented on personal devices for security, then data security is improved, but device complexity worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts sensitive data handling from personal devices and redirects it to employer-managed devices. Instead of imposing complex controls on personal devices, the system removes sensitive data operations from the personal device ecosystem entirely, achieving security without complicating user devices
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary routing mechanism that sits between data sources and personal devices. This intermediary layer filters and redirects sensitive data to appropriate devices, providing security controls without directly modifying or complicating the personal devices themselves

AI summary
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a first sensitivity level associated with a first data item, comparing the first sensitivity level to a first threshold, resulting in a first comparison, selecting a first device based on the first comparison, transmitting the first data item to the first device based on the selecting of the first device, identifying a second sensitivity level associated with a second data item, wherein the second sensitivity level is different from the first sensitivity level, comparing the second sensitivity level to a second threshold, resulting in a second comparison, selecting a second device based on the second comparison, wherein the second device is different from the first device, and transmitting the second data item to the second device based on the selecting of the second device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
