Geospatial Notification System with Security Level Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing notification systems face challenges in providing appropriate geospatial notifications to users due to the inclusion of sensitive information in data streams, making it difficult to balance information accessibility with security levels.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for generating and managing geospatial notifications that involve displaying a map with a security level, receiving geospatial area and data streams, determining if the data security level meets a threshold, detecting notification conditions, and presenting notifications to users whose security level meets the required thresholds, utilizing processors and machine learning models for personalized alerts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If data streams with sensitive information are included in geospatial notifications, then information completeness is improved, but security level deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system segments information based on security levels, dividing the data stream into multiple security tiers. Each notification is tagged with a security level indicator, allowing the system to selectively disclose information based on user authorization. This enables complete information to be preserved in the system while only appropriate portions are disclosed to each user.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies different quality levels of information disclosure to different users based on their security clearances. Each user receives a customized version of the notification with information density and sensitivity appropriate to their authorization level, rather than applying a uniform disclosure policy to all users.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If security level thresholds are enforced for notifications, then security level is improved, but information accessibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system dynamically adjusts information disclosure based on real-time evaluation of user security levels and notification sensitivity. The system continuously adapts what information is presented to each user based on their current authorization state, rather than using static access control. This maintains security while ensuring each user receives maximally accessible information within their clearance.
3Adaptability or versatility
If geospatial notifications include detailed entity information, then notification usefulness is improved, but data sensitivity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameters of information disclosure based on notification context and user authorization. Sensitive parameters such as entity identities, locations, and characteristics are selectively revealed or obscured based on security level thresholds. This allows the same notification to be highly useful for authorized users while maintaining security by transforming sensitive parameters into generic or obscured forms for unauthorized users.

AI summary
Systems and methods for generating, managing, and/or providing notifications are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes displaying a map corresponding to a map security level to a user, receiving an indication of a geospatial area on the map, receiving a data stream, the data stream corresponds to a data security level, determining if the data security level satisfies a first security level threshold, in response to determining that the data security level satisfies the first security level threshold, in response to detecting the entity that satisfies the notification condition, generating a geospatial notification including information representing the geospatial area and the entity, determining if a user security level for the user satisfies a second security level threshold, and in response to determining that the user security level satisfies the second security level threshold, presenting the geospatial notification to the user.
