Solution Overview

Problem

Current cyber environments lack assurance of security, privacy, and accurate control over access to cyber activities, interactions, assets, and resources, with inadequate identification of individuals and devices, and limited interoperability of cyber devices, programming, and content.

Innovation Solution

A configurable system with processes, procedures, and architecture that provides safe and secure cyber interactions by identifying individuals and devices, allowing selective access control, and enabling interoperable use of cyber devices, programming, and content through a point-of-cyber-access cyber system with a universal interactive operating system.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If prior art cyber environments are used, then accessibility and ease of operation are improved, but security, privacy, and control over access to cyber activities and resources deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveaccessibilityVSAvoidsecurity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a point-of-cyber-access computer as an intermediary device between users and the cyber environment. This mediator establishes and verifies user identities, manages access controls, and enforces security policies without requiring users to directly manage complex security protocols, thus maintaining ease of operation while improving security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary identification and verification of user identities before granting access to cyber activities. Access controls and security measures are established in advance through the point-of-cyber-access computer, ensuring security is built into the foundation of the interaction rather than added as a later constraint

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If prior art cyber environments are used, then device compatibility is improved, but interoperability and standardized use of cyber devices deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice compatibilityVSAvoidinteroperability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal interactive operating system that provides standardized interfaces and protocols for diverse cyber devices. This universal system enables different devices to communicate and interact through common standards while maintaining their individual capabilities, thus achieving both compatibility and reliable interoperability

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

3Measurement precision

If selective access control is implemented, then control precision over cyber resources is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The point-of-cyber-access computer serves as an intermediary that manages access control complexity centrally. It handles identity verification, access policy enforcement, and resource authorization, allowing precise control over cyber resources without requiring complex security mechanisms to be distributed across all devices and applications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The system and system components of the present disclosure may be configured to provide individuals with both a safe and a secure cyber environment. Within this safe and secure cyber environment, each individual and each cyber device may be properly identified for all cyber interactions with others, and for all cyber interactions with the cyber devices of others. The system may also be configured to provide individuals with privacy for the individual's private cyber activities and cyber assets. Furthermore, the system may be configured to provide for environment-wide, interoperable use of any cyber device, cyber programming, and cyber content.
