Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems face challenges in implementing identity and access management (IAM) for structured databases, particularly in scenarios involving large language models (LLM) that struggle to understand structured databases and ensure secure data access for multiple users.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of an online prompt-driven analytical processing (OPAP) model that segregates data into vectorized documents based on persona boundaries using an extract transform-to-document Load (ETDL) process, ensuring that only authorized users access relevant data through a hierarchical database and large language model (LLM) interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If data is stored in structured databases for multiple users, then data storage capacity is improved, but data security and access control become more difficult to maintain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata storage capacityVSAvoiddata security
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments data from structured databases into vectorized documents organized by persona boundaries (user roles). Each vectorized document contains data accessible to a specific persona, enabling fine-grained access control while maintaining large-scale data storage. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by allowing comprehensive data storage without compromising security through unrestricted access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer between structured databases and LLMs: the vectorized document store. This intermediary transforms structured data into persona-based vectorized formats that LLMs can process while automatically enforcing access control policies. The intermediary enables both large data storage and secure access control by mediating between raw data and AI processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If LLMs are used to access structured databases, then data query capability is improved, but the risk of providing unintended information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata query capabilityVSAvoidunintended information disclosure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments data access by creating persona-specific vectorized documents. When an LLM receives a query, it first determines the user's persona and retrieves only the corresponding vectorized documents. This segmentation prevents the LLM from accessing or generating responses containing data outside the user's authorized scope, eliminating unintended information disclosure while maintaining versatile query capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors LLM queries against persona boundaries and access control policies. If a query attempts to access data outside authorized personas, the system intercepts and blocks the request. This feedback loop ensures that LLM versatility is maintained within secure boundaries, preventing harmful information disclosure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If data is segregated by persona boundaries, then data security is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates copies of structured database data in vectorized document format, organized by persona boundaries. Instead of modifying the original structured database or implementing complex access control layers throughout the entire system, the patent copies data into a separate vectorized store that is pre-organized for secure access. This copying approach simplifies the system by isolating security logic from data storage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-processing and transforming structured database data into persona-based vectorized documents before they are accessed by LLMs. This preliminary transformation organizes data according to access control requirements in advance, eliminating the need for complex real-time access control logic during query processing. The preliminary action simplifies the overall system by shifting complexity to a preparatory stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Ease of manufacture

If structured databases are used for enterprise data storage, then data organization is improved, but AI model understanding capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata organizationVSAvoidAI model understanding capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical/structured database organization system with a semantic/vector-based organization system. Instead of relying on rigid tables and schemas that LLMs struggle to interpret, the patent transforms data into vectorized documents with semantic meanings that LLMs naturally understand. This substitution maintains effective data organization while dramatically improving AI model understanding capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the fundamental parameters of data representation from structured formats (tables, rows, columns) to vectorized semantic representations. This parameter transformation converts data into a format that is both easily organized and naturally understandable by LLMs. The vectorized format preserves data organization benefits while eliminating the comprehension barriers of structured databases for AI models.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A method for managing data access includes obtaining, by a data system, a structured database from an order processing system, wherein the structured database comprises data associated with a large set of users, identifying persona boundaries, performing a transform-to-document process on the structured database based on a configuration to generate a set of vectorized documents, wherein each of the set of vectorized documents corresponds to one of the persona boundaries, performing a graph embedding on the set of vectorized documents to obtain a hierarchical database, loading the set of vectorized documents and the hierarchical database to an online prompt-driven analytical processing (OPAP) model of the data system, and using the OPAP model and an identity and access management (IAM) system to manage access to the data by a user based on the persona boundaries, wherein the IAM system maps the user to a persona boundary of the persona boundaries.
