Dynamic Policy Parameter Adjustment for Real-Time Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing policy-based systems are inflexible and unable to dynamically adjust to changing conditions, requiring cumbersome and time-consuming processes to modify policies, which hinders real-time response to environmental changes.
Innovation Solution
Introducing dynamically adjustable parameters in policy statements marked with special delimiters, allowing for real-time modification of policy behavior through a system that includes a user interface, policy manager, sensors, and dynamic parameter manager, enabling active policies to be modified based on external conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If policies are created and applied in conventional practice, then policy management is simplified and quality of service is increased, but policies cannot be dynamically adjusted to changing conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic adjustability to static policies by allowing parameters within policy statements to be modified in real-time. The system enables dynamic adjustment of policy parameters through a user interface without requiring policy replacement, thus providing adaptability while reducing change time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent allows changing parameter values within active policies rather than creating new policies. By modifying parameters such as performance thresholds, resource allocation values, and timing parameters, the system achieves dynamic adaptation to changing conditions without the time loss associated with policy replacement.
2Adaptability or versatility
If policy changes require creation of new policies and replacement of old ones, then policy flexibility is improved, but the process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments policies into adjustable parameters and structural components. By separating the modifiable parameters from the overall policy structure, the system allows flexible changes to specific parameters without affecting the entire policy, thus reducing the complexity of the change process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transforms the static policy creation-replacement process into a dynamic adjustment process. Users can modify policy parameters in real-time through a user interface, eliminating the need for cumbersome policy replacement operations while maintaining flexibility.
3Reliability
If policy changes require offline approval and verification steps, then policy reliability is improved, but the policy change process cannot respond in real-time to environmental changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables dynamic policy adjustment that can respond to environmental changes in real-time. The system allows rapid modification of policy parameters without being constrained by slow offline approval processes, thus improving response speed while maintaining reliability through controlled adjustment mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that allow real-time monitoring of policy effects and environmental conditions. This feedback enables the system to automatically or semi-automatically adjust policies in response to changing conditions, achieving both speed and reliability.

AI summary
Described is a method, a system, a computer program product and a service implemented at least partially through a data communications network to dynamically change the effect of an enforcement of a policy in a policy-managed system. The method, system, computer program product and service enabling the user to identify at least one policy as a dynamic policy and to specify at least one part of a policy statement of the dynamic policy to have a value that can be varied while the policy is active.
