Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional systems lack the capability to identify and manage layered dependent resource distribution devices, such as tokens created by entity and third-party systems during financial transactions, leading to increased exposure as users cannot track or delete linked tokens effectively.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a computing device with a user interface, processing devices, and communication links to identify and manage layered dependent resource distribution devices by determining primary and secondary tokens, displaying them to users, and allowing selective deletion through communication with entity and third-party systems.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional systems are used, then system simplicity is maintained, but the capability to identify and manage layered dependent resource distribution devices is lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecapability to identify and manage layered dependent resource distribution devicesVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the management of resource distribution devices by separating primary devices (created by entity systems) from secondary devices (created by third-party systems). This segmentation allows the system to handle different types of devices through standardized interfaces while maintaining the ability to manage layered dependencies without overwhelming complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary layer that acts as a mediator between users and the complex underlying structure of primary and secondary resource distribution devices. This intermediary provides simplified user interfaces for identifying, monitoring, and deleting devices while automatically handling the complexity of layered dependencies in the background.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If users cannot track linked tokens, then system operation remains simple, but user security exposure increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser securityVSAvoiduser operation simplicity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms that automatically provide users with information about linked tokens and resource distribution devices. Users receive feedback about the devices associated with their primary devices, enabling them to make informed security decisions while the system handles the complexity of tracking and managing these relationships.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables users to perform self-service operations for managing their resource distribution devices. Users can independently identify, monitor, and delete devices through user-friendly interfaces without needing to understand the underlying layered dependency structure, thus maintaining ease of operation while improving security.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If selective deletion of tokens is not supported, then system complexity is minimized, but user control over resources is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser controlVSAvoiddeletion management complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary identification and display of layered dependent devices before deletion operations. By first presenting users with a comprehensive list of all linked primary and secondary devices, the system enables informed deletion decisions while preparing the deletion process to handle complex dependencies automatically, thus improving user control without proportionally increasing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for identification and management of layered dependent resource distribution devices. The system is configured for receiving an expunge request from a user to expunge a resource distribution device, via a user interface, determining one or more layered dependent resource distribution devices associated with the resource distribution device, displaying the one or more layered dependent resource distribution devices to the user, via the user interface, receiving a selective expunge request to expunge at least one layered dependent resource distribution device of the one or more layered dependent resource distribution devices, and expunging the resource distribution device associated with the expunge request and the at least one layered dependent resource distribution device of the one or more layered dependent resource distribution devices associated with the selective expunge request.
