Dynamic Network Pairing via Communication Coordinator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication networks lack user control and anonymity, making users vulnerable to misuse as their personal information is exposed and exploited by marketers and scammers through interconnected endpoint addresses.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for dynamic network pairings that utilize a communication control computer to manage network pairings based on affinity groups, permission tokens, and access scores, allowing users to control their communication channels and maintain anonymity by creating temporary or permanent permissions for communication objects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing communication networks connect endpoint addresses to enable communication, then communication capability is improved, but user privacy and anonymity deteriorate due to exposure of personal information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a communication coordinator as an intermediary component that manages communication between devices without exposing personal information. The coordinator handles pairing requests, affinity group management, and communication routing while keeping user identities anonymous, thus enabling communication capability while protecting privacy through the mediator mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the communication network into distinct functional components: endpoint devices, affinity groups, and a communication coordinator. This segmentation allows communication to occur through structured pairings within affinity groups rather than direct endpoint-to-endpoint connections, thereby enabling communication while preventing direct exposure of personal information.
2Ease of operation
If open communication channels are provided to allow any endpoint to connect, then communication accessibility is improved, but vulnerability to misuse and spam increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic pairing criteria that adjust based on device behavior, affinity group membership, and communication patterns. Rather than static open or closed channels, the system dynamically evaluates pairing requests against multiple criteria including affinity group relationships and communication history, enabling accessible communication while adaptively preventing spam and misuse.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where communication patterns, pairing success rates, and device behavior are monitored and used to adjust pairing criteria. This feedback loop enables the system to maintain accessibility for legitimate communications while automatically tightening restrictions against devices exhibiting spam or misuse patterns.
3Measurement precision
If personal information is collected to enable targeted communication, then communication precision is improved, but user control and anonymity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service mechanisms where users define their own affinity groups and communication preferences without requiring personal information collection. Devices automatically manage their own pairing criteria and communication rules based on predefined affinity relationships, enabling precise communication targeting while maintaining user control through automated self-management rather than centralized data collection.

AI summary
A system and method for configuring network pairings enabling end-to-end communications between electronic devices is disclosed. The system receives a network pairing request from a requesting device to communicate with a target device. The system identifies historic data associated with the communication object and determines whether an affinity group associated with the requesting device is found. Further, the system determines whether the communication object has a valid permission token associated therewith. If a valid permission token is unavailable, the system checks whether a subscriber filter criteria is met by the requesting device. If the filter criteria is met, system calculates a subscriber access score (SAS) for the requesting device and compares the score to a threshold. When the SAS is greater than the predetermined threshold value, system creates a dynamic network pairing between the requesting device and the target device.
