Solution Overview

Problem

Current security systems for network devices are not tailored to specific network devices and interactions, leading to unnecessary blocking or allowing of transactions, and do not account for geographic location-specific regulations and usage categories, resulting in suboptimal network operation and potential data loss.

Innovation Solution

A system that uses geographic positioning and usage category information to selectively authorize resource usage by receiving historic and current positional data, accessing authorized usage parameters, and controlling interactions based on these parameters, creating geofences and categorizing transactions to allow or deny interactions accordingly, using machine learning to assess and update these parameters dynamically.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If generalized security systems are used for network devices, then security coverage is provided, but unnecessary blocking or allowing of transactions occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity effectivenessVSAvoidtransaction throughput
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by customizing security parameters for each network device based on its specific characteristics, geographic location, and usage patterns. Instead of using uniform security rules for all devices, the system determines device-specific authorized usage parameters including geographic locations and transaction categories, allowing each device to have tailored security controls that prevent blocking legitimate transactions while maintaining security effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts security parameters based on real-time conditions including current geographic location, historic positional data, and usage categories. The authorized usage parameters are updated continuously based on device behavior patterns and location history, enabling the security system to adapt to changing operational contexts and avoid unnecessary transaction blocking while maintaining appropriate security postures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If security rules are applied without geographic consideration, then security is maintained, but regulatory compliance is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidgeographic compliance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by establishing geographic-specific authorized usage parameters for each network device. The system determines and stores geographic locations where the device is authorized to operate, and applies location-specific security rules that comply with regional regulations. This ensures that security controls are adapted to local legal requirements while maintaining overall data security effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments security control into geographic zones and usage categories, creating distinct authorized usage parameters for different locations and transaction types. By dividing the security policy into location-specific and category-specific segments, the system can independently manage compliance requirements for each geographic region while maintaining centralized security oversight.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Speed

If transaction authorization is not customized to usage categories, then processing speed is maintained, but security optimization is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction processing speedVSAvoidsecurity optimization
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments transaction authorization into distinct usage categories, each with its own security parameters and authorization rules. By categorizing transactions based on their type and applying specialized security controls to each category, the system optimizes security for high-risk transactions while maintaining fast processing for low-risk categories, achieving both security optimization and processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for dynamic resource interaction allocation based on geographic positioning and usage category information associated with a resource interaction system. The invention receives a base positional location and category of usage for a resource interaction system. The invention determines a set of parameters to be used for interactions having characteristics meeting the determined base positional location and category of usage information. When it receives a proposed interaction from a requesting system containing geographic information and usage category information associated with the proposed interaction, it determines whether the geographic information and usage category information associated with the proposed interaction correspond to the base positional location and category of usage for the resource interaction system. If the information matches, the invention applies the set of parameters to the interaction to thereby process the interaction.
