Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional permission management systems are used in complex data systems, then comprehensive permission coverage is achieved, but system complexity and processing requirements increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a permissions analysis module as an intermediary component that sits between the complex data system and the permission determination logic. This module traverses resource data hierarchies and accessor data hierarchies to resolve permissions, isolating the complexity from the core system and enabling comprehensive permission coverage without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments permission determination into discrete components: resource data hierarchies, accessor data hierarchies, and a permissions analysis module. This segmentation allows each component to be independently managed and optimized, reducing the complexity burden on any single element while maintaining comprehensive permission coverage across the entire system.
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive permission analysis is performed on complex data structures, then accurate permission determination is achieved, but processing time and memory requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary traversal and analysis of resource data hierarchies and accessor data hierarchies before final permission determination. By pre-processing the hierarchical structures to identify relevant paths and relationships, the system reduces the computational burden during actual permission checks, thereby decreasing processing time while maintaining accurate determination.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and isolates the essential permission determination logic from the complex data structures through the permissions analysis module. This extraction allows the module to process only the necessary hierarchical paths and relationships, reducing unnecessary processing time and memory consumption while preserving the accuracy of permission determination.
3Adaptability or versatility
If technical users create user interfaces and reports, then customized outputs are achieved, but programming knowledge and technical skills are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the system to serve itself by automatically generating user interfaces and reports based on the traversed hierarchical data. The permissions analysis module can autonomously create customized outputs without requiring manual programming or technical expertise from users, thereby maintaining output customization while significantly improving ease of operation for non-technical users.
Data Source
AI summary
An electronic permissions and security system are disclosed which may be used to determine permissions and policies for resources in a complex multi-dimensional data system. Analysis of resource data hierarchies and/or accessor data hierarchies using the permissions computing systems and methods discussed herein may provide efficient and flexible permissions analysis, determination, and management. The electronic permissions system may include for example, a permissions analysis module or component configured to access, traverse and/or analyze a resource hierarchy and/or an accessor hierarchy to determine permissions with respect to a resource. Permissions may be defined according to various policies which may include specific actions allowed or disallowed for the policy. Specific actions within a policy may also be organized hierarchically such that one particular grant of one permission may imply granting of another permission.
