A computerized toolset, including a workspace builder, permissions workbench, and persona builder, is implemented to generate customizable enterprise data models that facilitate role-based access and management of enterprise data flows, enhancing security and efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional enterprise software manages diverse enterprise functions, then enterprise operations can be performed, but workflow standardization and security control deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenterprise function managementVSAvoidworkflow standardization
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments enterprise functions into discrete, standardized workflow components that can be individually managed and controlled. Each function is broken down into modular workflow elements that can be assembled through templates, ensuring standardization while maintaining versatility in managing diverse enterprise operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates universal workflow templates that can serve multiple enterprise functions across different departments and operations. These templates provide a standardized framework that can be adapted to various enterprise needs, achieving both standardization and versatility simultaneously.

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

2Reliability

If conventional enterprise software provides basic access control, then security can be maintained, but flexibility in personalized access deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity controlVSAvoidpersonalized access flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by allowing different permission configurations for different workflow templates and their components. Each template can have customized permission sets that grant specific access rights to different user roles, enabling personalized access control tailored to specific enterprise functions while maintaining overall security through standardized permission management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Device complexity

If enterprise applications are deployed with fixed permissions, then security management is simplified, but adaptability to role changes deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepermission management complexityVSAvoidrole-based adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic permission management where permission sets are not fixed but can be flexibly assigned and reassigned based on user roles and workflow requirements. The system allows administrators to dynamically configure which users or roles receive access to which workflow templates and components, enabling adaptability to organizational changes while maintaining manageable complexity through template-based organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
