Pre-access Location Rules for Virtual Session Latency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In virtual computing environments, users experience delays when transitioning to new locations due to the time required to update resource access permissions, impacting productivity and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
Implementing pre-access location-based rule initiation, where a host computer system determines user movement and applies relevant location-specific rules to the existing session before authentication, dynamically adapting the session to minimize delays by applying pre-access rules before the user logs in at a new location.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If location-based rules are applied after user authentication, then security and proper authorization are ensured, but user wait time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by identifying and applying location-based rules to the user's session before authentication is complete. When a user moves to a new location, the system proactively retrieves applicable rules and modifies session parameters in advance, so that when authentication finishes, the session is already configured for the new location, eliminating user wait time.
2Productivity
If pre-access rules are applied before authentication, then user wait time is reduced, but system security requirements become more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies location-based rules preliminarily before authentication completes, improving productivity by reducing user wait time. Security is maintained through a two-phase approach: preliminary rule application based on location data, followed by proper authentication verification that confirms the user's identity and authorization level.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from location detection to dynamically adjust session parameters before authentication completes. The location information serves as initial feedback that triggers rule application, which is then verified and confirmed by the authentication process, ensuring both speed and security.
3Ease of operation
If the system waits for authentication before applying location rules, then security is maintained, but user transition between locations is delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs the session update action preliminarily by applying location-based rules before authentication completes. This preliminary action smooths user transition between locations by ensuring the session is already configured when the user gains access, eliminating noticeable delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the session configuration based on real-time location data. As the user moves to a new location, the system dynamically retrieves applicable rules and modifies session parameters on-the-fly, creating a smooth, adaptive transition experience rather than a static, delayed update.

AI summary
Methods, systems, and devices are described for updating resource access permissions in a virtual computing environment. In these methods, systems, and devices, a host computer system determines that a user associated with an existing session has moved from a first location to a second location, identifies at least one pre-access rule based on the second location, applies the at least one pre-access rule to the existing session before authenticating the user for access to the existing session in response to the determination that the user has moved to the second location, and authenticates the user at the second location for access to the existing session after the at least one pre-access rule has been applied to the existing session.
