Location-Based Access Control for Resource Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data requesting systems face insecurity and inefficiency in managing resource access due to potential unauthorized access and geographical location considerations.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system that executes tasks based on user device locations by identifying access rights, determining proximity to resources, and executing protocols to ensure secure and timely access, using a network of data processors and storage mediums to manage access rights and communications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If access to resources is granted without considering geographical location, then ease of operation is improved, but security deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements location-based access control where different geographical regions are assigned different access permissions. The system determines the user's current location and grants or denies access to resources based on whether the location falls within authorized regions, thereby maintaining security while allowing convenient access for authorized users in permitted locations.
2Reliability
If access control protocols are implemented to enhance security, then security is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs location verification and access control decisions without requiring manual intervention. The server autonomously determines user location, compares it against authorized regions, and executes access control protocols, thereby providing enhanced security while minimizing the complexity burden on individual devices through centralized automated processing.
3Reliability
If location verification is performed before resource access, then security is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs location verification in advance before granting resource access. By determining the user's location and validating access permissions prior to the actual resource request, the system ensures security requirements are met while streamlining the subsequent access process, thereby minimizing time loss during actual resource operations.

AI summary
Systems and methods are provided for executing tasks selected based on locations of user devices. A first user device associated with an access right to a resource can be identified. The location of the first user device can be determined at a time before a defined time period. Further, a protocol execution condition can be detected. Upon detecting the protocol execution condition, executing a protocol. Executing the protocol can include determining a distance between the first user device and a resource location. Whether the distance between the first user device and the resource location is less than or equal to a distance range of the resource location at a time prior to the defined time period can be determined. In response to determining that the distance is not less than or equal to the distance range, accessing a plurality of tasks, selecting a task, and executing the task.
