Context-Aware Network Site Map Focal Point Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Network operators face inefficiencies when accessing a dashboard for managing network sites due to the display of all global network sites, regardless of their access privileges, making it cumbersome to find and manage relevant sites.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a system that adjusts the view of network sites based on the operator's access privileges and other filtering criteria, providing an interactive visual rendering that focuses on only accessible sites, using a Dynamic Network Access Controller (DNAC) to filter and cluster sites accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the dashboard displays all global network sites to every operator, then complete information availability is achieved, but information overload and difficulty in finding relevant sites occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the global network sites into different groups based on operator access privileges. Each operator sees only the network sites they are authorized to access, dividing the complete set of sites into privileged subsets. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by maintaining complete information availability within each operator's authorized scope while eliminating information overload from unauthorized sites.
Solution Approach 2:
The dashboard applies local quality by customizing the display content according to each operator's specific access privileges and role. Different operators receive different views of the network sites based on their local authorization context, rather than a uniform global view. This allows each operator to efficiently access only the relevant sites they need to manage.
2Device complexity
If the dashboard provides the same access overview to any operator, then system simplicity is maintained, but operational efficiency decreases due to unnecessary information
Solution Approach 1:
The dashboard transitions from a static uniform view to a dynamic adaptive view that automatically adjusts based on operator access privileges. The system dynamically filters and prioritizes network sites according to each operator's role and authorization level, enabling operational efficiency without requiring complex manual configuration by operators.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically performs the filtering and prioritization of network sites based on operator credentials without requiring manual intervention. The dashboard self-adjusts to present the appropriate view for each operator, eliminating the need for operators to manually filter through unnecessary information while maintaining system simplicity.

AI summary
The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods that enable adjusting of focal point of maps displaying network sites of an enterprise network for access by an authorized network controller, based on network provider's access privilege. In one aspect a method includes receiving an access request to access a network controller management dashboard for managing network sites of a network; determining an access privilege associated with the access request; identifying one or more network sites for the access request based on the access privilege; and providing an interactive visual rendering of the one or more network sites by adjusting a focal point of a map of the network sites to display only the one or more network sites.
