Solution Overview

Problem

Enterprise meeting spaces with IoT devices face security concerns as unauthorized individuals can eavesdrop on secure content during meetings, compromising the privacy and security of exhibited resources.

Innovation Solution

IoT devices within a meeting space are dynamically configured based on the security classification of the enterprise resource being exhibited, with configurations adjusted to minimize exposure to unauthorized persons, and user permissions are restricted to maintain security.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If IoT devices are configured with high security settings to protect enterprise resources, then security level is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates as participants cannot freely control devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity levelVSAvoiddevice control freedom
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts IoT device configurations based on the security classification of the content being presented. When secure content is detected, devices are automatically configured with appropriate security settings (e.g., screen off, audio muted). When non-secure content is presented, devices return to normal operational mode, allowing participants full control. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by making security settings flexible rather than fixed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes operational parameters of IoT devices (display brightness, audio volume, camera status) based on security requirements. By modifying these parameters dynamically according to content security classification, the system achieves both high security when needed and ease of operation when security risks are absent.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If IoT devices are configured with low security settings to allow free control by participants, then ease of operation is improved, but security level deteriorates as unauthorized persons can eavesdrop on secure content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice control freedomVSAvoidsecurity level
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors content security classification and dynamically adjusts device configurations. When secure content is detected, the system automatically restricts device control and adjusts settings to prevent eavesdropping. When non-secure content is presented, full control is restored. This dynamic response ensures security is maintained only when necessary.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically detects security requirements and configures IoT devices without manual intervention. The management service monitors content classification and autonomously adjusts device settings, eliminating the need for participants to manually balance security and operational freedom.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If the system dynamically configures IoT devices based on content security classification, then security level is improved, but device complexity increases due to automated management requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity levelVSAvoidsystem management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The management service performs multiple functions: it classifies content security, communicates with IoT devices, adjusts device configurations, and monitors compliance. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single universal system, the patent reduces overall complexity despite the sophisticated security management required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The management service acts as an intermediary between content sources and IoT devices. It receives content security classifications, translates them into appropriate device configurations, and enforces these settings automatically. This intermediary layer simplifies the system architecture by centralizing security logic and eliminating the need for complex point-to-point control mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to dynamic meeting space configuration based on content. A client device can detect an entry of a user into a meeting space and notify a management service of the entry of the user into the meeting space. The client device can receive an access token from the management service and provide an access request for an enterprise resource to an enterprise resource service, where the access request comprises the access token. The client device can receive the enterprise resource from the enterprise resource service. The client device can provide data regarding the security classification of the enterprise resource to an edge device located within the meeting space. The client device can receive, from the edge device, a confirmation that a plurality of internet of things (IoT) devices located within the meeting space have been configured according to the security classification of the enterprise resource. The client device can provide the enterprise resource to at least one of the IoT devices for exhibition within the meeting space.
