Encrypted Digital Objects for Quota-Limited User Transfers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for managing resources for multiple users in a cloud environment are inefficient and lack the ability for users to transfer access rights independently without intermediaries.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that allows users to create, manage, and transfer digital objects containing resource allocation information, which are encrypted and transmitted to other users or groups, enabling secure and efficient sharing of resources based on predefined quotas and time limits, with the server adjusting resource allocations accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If centralized server management is used for resource allocation, then resource control and security are maintained, but system complexity and intermediary dependencies increase
Solution Approach 1:
Users can independently transfer resource quotas to other users without server intervention. The server only needs to validate the transfer against the user's remaining quota, transforming a complex centralized reallocation process into a simple self-service operation that maintains security while reducing system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts the resource allocation decision-making power from the centralized server and places it in the hands of users through digital objects. The server retains only the essential function of validating transfers, separating complex allocation logic from simple validation, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining control.
2Reliability
If manual resource reallocation through server intervention is required, then security and control are maintained, but processing time and operational efficiency decrease
Solution Approach 1:
Users create digital objects that preliminarily define resource transfer parameters including target user, quantity, and validity period before actual transfer. The server only needs to validate these pre-defined parameters, eliminating the need for complex real-time negotiation and approval processes, thereby大幅提高 operational efficiency while maintaining security through validation.
Solution Approach 2:
Digital objects serve as intermediaries that encapsulate all necessary transfer information. Instead of direct server-mediated reallocation, the digital object acts as a self-contained intermediary that carries transfer instructions, reducing server involvement to simple validation and significantly improving processing speed.
3Productivity
If users can independently transfer resources without intermediaries, then operational efficiency improves, but security and authorization control may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The server provides feedback by validating each digital object transfer against the user's remaining quota. This feedback mechanism ensures that users cannot transfer more resources than they possess, maintaining authorization control while allowing independent user-initiated transfers, thus balancing security with operational efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary validation of the digital object against the user's quota before completing the transfer. This preliminary check ensures authorization control is maintained without requiring continuous server intervention, allowing efficient user-initiated transfers while preventing unauthorized or excessive resource allocation.
