Dynamic Glyph Reconfiguration for Updated Content Redirection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users accessing content across different devices face cumbersome authentication and search processes, especially when switching between desktop and mobile platforms, which discourages seamless use and may expose sensitive information.
Innovation Solution
A dynamic glyph system, such as a QR code, that automatically reconfigures based on asset status changes, allowing users to access updated content with minimal manual steps by scanning the glyph, which embeds deeplinks to redirect users to relevant content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users access content across different devices using traditional methods, then they can reach the content, but they face cumbersome authentication and search processes
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-generates device-specific deeplinks that embed authentication tokens and content identifiers before the user needs to access content. When a user shares a link from their desktop device, the link already contains all necessary authentication and navigation information, eliminating the need for the user to perform authentication or search operations on the mobile device.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary link generation service that acts as a mediator between the content management system and the user's devices. This service generates specialized deeplinks that encapsulate authentication credentials and content metadata, allowing users to bypass traditional authentication and search processes by simply clicking the pre-configured link on any device.
2Ease of operation
If users share content links via chat or email, then they can access content on different devices, but they may expose sensitive information
Solution Approach 1:
The system generates device-specific deeplinks with locally valid authentication tokens that are tied to specific user sessions and devices. Each deeplink contains scoped credentials that are only valid for accessing particular content on particular devices, rather than using broad, system-wide authentication credentials that would expose sensitive information if leaked.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters of the authentication mechanism by embedding time-limited, single-use authentication tokens within the deeplinks. These tokens have restricted validity periods and scope, transforming the authentication approach from using persistent, high-value credentials to using ephemeral, low-value tokens that minimize information exposure risk.
3Device complexity
If the glyph uses a static link, then it is simple to implement, but it cannot redirect users to updated content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static glyph link into a dynamic system by implementing a link resolution service that evaluates deeplinks at the time of user interaction rather than at the time of link generation. The system dynamically resolves the final target URL based on current asset status, user permissions, and content availability, allowing the same glyph to serve multiple content versions without requiring manual updates.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the link resolution service continuously monitors asset status changes and updates the routing logic accordingly. When content is updated or asset status changes, the system automatically adjusts which deeplink targets are activated, providing real-time feedback to users who scan the glyph without requiring the glyph itself to be reissued or manually modified.

AI summary
A system, related operating methods, and computer-readable storage media are disclosed here. The disclosed subject matter relates to methods of accessing by a device a record of content about an asset based on information embedded in a glyph associated with the asset; determining whether a glyph reconfiguration process should be performed when accessing the record of content based on a status of an object linked to the record of content about the asset wherein the status of the object is caused to change based on a schedule configured within an asset profile associated with the asset; and applying the glyph reconfiguration process for reconfiguring the glyph in response to change caused to the status of the object that results in redirection of the device to updated content based on different information embedded in the glyph about the asset.
