Memory Control Circuitry Automating Tenant Access Configuration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current multitenant database systems require manual, time-consuming configurations by human administrators to grant access to proprietary data between tenants, which is inefficient and labor-intensive.
Innovation Solution
A processor-controlled memory control circuitry configures access to memory cells based on determined relationships and functions between tenants, automatically granting access to specific subsets of proprietary data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual configuration by human administrators is used to grant access to proprietary data between tenants, then access control can be implemented, but the process becomes time-consuming and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic self-service access control by having the memory control circuitry automatically determine and configure access rights based on tenant relationships and functions, eliminating the need for manual administrator intervention while maintaining secure access control
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-configures access rights automatically based on predetermined tenant relationships and functions stored in the database, so that when data access is needed, the configuration is already in place without requiring time-consuming manual setup
2Reliability
If manual configuration by human administrators is used to grant access to proprietary data between tenants, then access control can be implemented, but the process becomes labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The memory control circuitry autonomously performs access control configuration by automatically determining tenant relationships and functions from the database and configuring appropriate access rights without requiring human administrator labor
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical process of manual administrator configuration with an automated electronic system where the memory control circuitry directly interfaces with the database to automatically determine and implement access control settings
3Productivity
If automatic access configuration is implemented based on tenant relationships, then manual intervention is reduced, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The memory control circuitry is designed to perform multiple functions: it not only controls memory access but also automatically determines tenant relationships, evaluates functions, and configures access rights based on database information, consolidating what would otherwise be separate systems into one multi-functional component
Solution Approach 2:
The database acts as an intermediary that stores predetermined tenant relationship and function information, allowing the memory control circuitry to automatically determine access rights without requiring complex direct communication protocols between tenants and the memory system

AI summary
A processor can determine that a set of the memory cells is controlled by signals from a first portal. The processor can determine a function of a second portal in a relationship between the first portal and the second portal. The processor can cause, in response to a determination that the function of the second portal is a specific function, a memory control circuitry to be configured so that a subset, of the set, is controlled also by signals from the second portal. The processor can determine a function of a third portal in a relationship between the first portal and the third portal. The processor can cause, in response to a determination that the function of the third portal is the specific function, the memory control circuitry to be configured so that the subset, of the set, is controlled also by signals from the third portal.
