Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for a system that can dynamically switch communication channels based on preconfigured network security protocols to ensure the usability and integrity of network resources.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a processing device configured to receive requests from user input devices, determine device configuration parameters, and trigger a channel switch engine to authorize access via communication channels that meet the device's configuration parameters.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If dynamic communication channel switching is implemented based on device configuration parameters, then network security and integrity are improved, but device complexity and operational overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork securityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-configures multiple communication channels with different security protocols and characteristics before actual communication occurs. When a device needs to access resources, the system already has evaluated and prepared the appropriate channel based on device configuration parameters, eliminating the need for real-time complex security assessments and reducing operational overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces a communication channel selection mechanism that acts as an intermediary between devices and resources. This intermediary component automatically evaluates device configuration parameters against pre-defined channel requirements and selects appropriate channels, shielding the complexity of security protocols from end users while maintaining high security standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If communication channels are dynamically switched based on configuration parameters, then access security is improved, but access speed and productivity may be reduced due to channel switching overhead

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess securityVSAvoidaccess speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs channel selection and configuration evaluation in advance before actual data transmission begins. By pre-determining which communication channels meet the security requirements of devices and resources, the system avoids delays during the actual access process, maintaining high productivity while ensuring security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors device configuration parameters and communication channel status, using this feedback to dynamically adjust channel selections. This feedback mechanism ensures that devices are always connected to the most appropriate secure channels without requiring manual intervention or causing unnecessary switching delays, optimizing both security and access speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for dynamic communication channel switching based on preconfigured network security protocols. The present invention is configured to receive, from a first user input device, a request to access resources via a first communication channel; determine, using a network device configuration monitoring engine, device configuration parameters associated with the first user input device; determine configuration requirements associated with the first communication channel; determine that the device configuration parameters associated with the first user input device does not meet the configuration requirements associated with the first communication channel; trigger a channel switch engine; determine, using the channel switch engine, that the device configuration parameters associated with the first user input device meets configuration parameters associated with a second communication channel; and authorize the first user input device to access the resources via the second communication channel.
