Dynamic Account and Device Management via Delegate Authority
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Managing personal computing devices and monitoring data within a corporate setting becomes increasingly challenging due to the complexity of integrating multiple management systems and accounts, especially with Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for dynamic account and device management that allows for the delegation of authority through various communication methods, such as emails, text messages, or URL links, enabling seamless network access and control across corporate, enterprise, residential, and private networks, using a management module that interacts with personal user accounts to grant and manage delegate authority.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple management systems and accounts are used to manage personal devices in a corporate setting, then device management coverage is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple management systems and accounts into a unified management interface. The system integrates personal device management with corporate network access control, allowing a single system to perform functions that previously required separate management tools and accounts, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive device management coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The management system is designed to be universal, supporting multiple device types, operating systems, and network environments through a single platform. It can manage personal devices across corporate, enterprise, residential, and private networks, eliminating the need for separate specialized systems for different device categories or network types.
2Ease of operation
If dynamic delegate authority is implemented for device management, then ease of operation is improved, but security risks may increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic delegate authority where management permissions are not static but adapt based on device posture, network context, and security requirements. Delegates can be granted temporary or conditional access rights that automatically adjust based on the device's compliance status and the specific network environment, making operation easier while maintaining security through context-aware authorization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors device posture and security compliance, providing feedback that influences delegate authority levels. If a device meets security requirements, delegates gain broader access rights; if compliance deteriorates, authority is automatically restricted. This feedback mechanism enables easy operation for compliant devices while maintaining security through automated enforcement of policies.
