Information Processing Device File Access Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to provide a clear and organized screen for participants to confirm files associated with their access rights within an activity set, especially when files are managed by multiple file management services.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that associates participants with activities and links relevant file management services, allowing participants to access and display files and messages based on their access rights, while distinguishing between files from different services and granting access rights as needed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If files are managed by multiple file management services, then file management versatility is improved, but screen complexity and difficulty of detecting files increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display screen into multiple distinct display areas: a first display area for files from first file management services and a second display area for files from second file management services. This segmentation allows users to access files from multiple services while maintaining clear visual separation and reducing confusion about file sources and access rights.
2Reliability
If access rights are strictly enforced, then security is improved, but ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by automatically determining and displaying files based on each participant's access rights without requiring manual permission grants. The system autonomously filters and presents only the files each participant is authorized to access, eliminating the need for users to manually manage permissions while maintaining secure access control.
3Ease of operation
If all files are displayed together, then ease of operation is improved, but loss of information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by customizing the display content according to each participant's specific access rights. Instead of a uniform display, the system presents different file sets to different participants based on their individual permissions, ensuring that each user sees only the relevant files they are authorized to access while maintaining ease of operation within their permitted scope.

AI summary
An information processing device includes a processor, and the processor is configured to: associate plural participants of each activity set by a user for each specific purpose with the activity; link a storage area of a file management service for which at least one participant has an access right and that is provided by plural service providers to the activity; and cause a display of a participant of a request source to display a first file stored in a linked storage area for which the participant of the request source has an access right, in response to a request for accessing the activity from each participant.
