Dynamic User Profile Generation with Temporary Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing user profile generation and authentication methods face challenges with frequent updates causing server load and user inconvenience, while infrequent updates may lead to unauthorized access risks, especially when temporary changes occur, such as using a different device.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that dynamically generate temporary user profiles with limited activity periods, updating the main profile periodically with interaction parameters from temporary profiles, and deleting them after expiration, thereby reducing server load and minimizing verification requests.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If user profiles are updated frequently to maintain security, then security is improved, but server load increases and user inconvenience increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the user profile into a main profile and temporary profiles. The main profile contains stable, long-term interaction parameters and is updated periodically, while temporary profiles hold transient parameters for short-term use. This segmentation allows the system to maintain security by having updated profiles available while reducing server load by not requiring continuous updates of the entire profile.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic profile management where temporary profiles are created with limited activity periods and automatically expire. The system dynamically adjusts which profile (main or temporary) is active based on the current time and verification status, allowing flexible response to security requirements without constant full-profile updates.
2Adaptability or versatility
If user profiles are updated frequently to reflect temporary changes, then adaptability is improved, but user inconvenience increases due to repeated verification requests
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary verification actions when temporary profiles are created. Once a temporary profile is verified and activated, the system pre-establishes its validity for a predetermined activity period. During this period, the user can access services without repeated verification, eliminating the need for continuous verification requests while maintaining adaptability to temporary changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements periodic profile updates where the main profile is refreshed at predetermined intervals rather than continuously. Temporary profiles are created periodically when needed and expire after a set duration. This periodic approach maintains adaptability while significantly reducing the frequency of verification requests compared to continuous updates.
3Reliability
If verification actions are required for each access with temporary parameters, then security is improved, but productivity decreases due to repeated verification overhead
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates temporary profiles as copies of the main profile structure but with limited activity periods and specific interaction parameters. These temporary profile copies allow users to access services with modified parameters without requiring full verification each time, as the verification was already performed when the temporary profile was created. This copying mechanism maintains security while improving access efficiency.
Data Source
AI summary
There are disclosed methods of and systems for generating a user profile. The method is executable at a server, the server having previously generated a first profile of a first user. The first profile of the first user has been stored in a first database. The method comprises: receiving a request to provide access to the first profile of the first user; retrieving the first profile of the first user from the first database; in response to at least one user interaction parameter in the request differing from the user interaction parameters in the first profile of the first user, performing a verification action associated with the first user; upon receiving a confirmation in response to the verification action, generating a second profile of the first user including the at least one interaction parameter of the first user, which is different from the interaction parameters in the first profile.
