Interactive Data System Profile-Based Access Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack a structured and interactive method to administer and control access to diverse data sets related to objects, such as vehicles, ensuring that users are directed to relevant and permission-specific destinations.
Innovation Solution
A method that involves creating user profiles based on attributes, storing these profiles in a database, and using a scanning device to direct users to destinations associated with their profile and access permissions, ensuring secure and relevant data access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all users are allowed to access all data related to a vehicle, then complete information availability is achieved, but data security and privacy are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different levels of data access to different users based on their profiles and permissions. Each user receives customized data subsets relevant to their role (owner, dealer, service provider, etc.), ensuring information availability where needed while maintaining security by restricting access to sensitive data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the vehicle data into multiple categories and access levels, organizing comprehensive vehicle information (technical specs, financial data, service history, etc.) into structured groups that can be selectively accessed by different user types, thus balancing information availability with security requirements.
2Loss of information
If a comprehensive data system is created to store all vehicle-related information, then data completeness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the comprehensive vehicle data system into multiple organized categories (technical specifications, financial information, service history, etc.) and implements a hierarchical structure with multiple access levels, making the complex data manageable and accessible through a structured framework.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal data system that can serve multiple user types (owners, dealers, service providers, financiers) with different needs from the same comprehensive vehicle data repository, reducing overall system complexity by using a single multi-functional platform rather than separate systems for each user type.
3Measurement precision
If user profiles with multiple attributes are created to control access, then access precision is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining user profiles with specific attributes and permission sets for different user types (owner, dealer, service provider, etc.). When a user accesses the system, their pre-configured profile is quickly matched to the appropriate data access permissions, avoiding time-consuming real-time analysis while maintaining precise access control.
Data Source
AI summary
An interactive data system in which a user, scanning a tag such as a QR-code, is directed to a destination (which may be one of a number of different destinations) which is determined by a profile of the user, which profile is established beforehand. Optionally access to a destination is also determined by an access permission which may be granted to the user. In one example a user, scanning a menu of food and beverage offerings, is directed to a choice of food and beverage which is dependent on the user's likes and dislikes, and dietary and similar factors.
