Solution Overview

Problem

Companies managing large numbers of hanging devices face challenges in efficiently transferring inspection data to outsourcing units, as existing methods lack a convenient and secure way to delegate data editing authority.

Innovation Solution

A method is introduced that involves a data management system generating an authorization code for selected product items, allowing designated parties to access and edit data through an electronic device, facilitating secure and convenient data transfer and management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If inspection data is transferred to outsourcing units using existing methods, then data transfer can be completed, but the process is inefficient and lacks secure delegation of editing authority

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transfer efficiencyVSAvoidconvenience of data delegation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an authorization code as an intermediary mechanism that mediates between the data management system and outsourcing units. This code enables secure delegation of data editing authority without requiring complex authentication processes, thereby improving both transfer efficiency and operational convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a digital copy of data editing authority through authorization codes. Instead of transferring actual data or requiring physical access, the system generates可复制的 authorization codes that represent editing permissions, enabling efficient and secure delegation to multiple outsourcing units simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Ease of operation

If data editing authority is delegated to multiple parties, then data access convenience is improved, but data security and access control become more difficult to manage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata access convenienceVSAvoiddata security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments data editing authority into individual authorization codes, each representing a specific permission grant. This segmentation allows the data management system to control and track access for each outsourcing unit independently, maintaining security while enabling convenient multi-party access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The authorization code serves as an intermediary that decouples the data itself from the access control mechanism. This allows secure delegation to multiple parties without exposing the actual data or complicating the access control structure, as each party interacts with the system through their unique authorization code.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A method of delegating data editing authority of product items is provided, which includes the steps of: selecting a plurality of product items in a database (12) in a data management system (100), which is done by a first party, and then defining the plurality of product items as a plurality of authorized items; generating an authorization code corresponding to the authorized items, and generating a notification message corresponding to the authorization code; a second party responds to the notification message through the electronic device (40, 50); obtaining the authorized items from the database (12) according to the authorization code corresponding to the notification message responded by the second party, and then transferring the authorized items to the electronic device (40, 50) so as to revise the content of the authorized items. Thereby, the transmission of data is more convenient.
