Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack efficient methods for time-controlled access and integration of third-party content generated by devices within premises monitoring systems, limiting comprehensive monitoring capabilities and user access management.
Innovation Solution
A networked environment integrating premises monitoring systems with remote and content storage computing environments, utilizing analytics engines and access tokens to enforce time-controlled access policies for third-party device content, enabling secure and role-based access to video and audio recordings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If third-party device content is integrated into premises monitoring systems, then monitoring comprehensiveness is improved, but access control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary access token system that mediates between third-party devices and the premises monitoring system. The control device generates time-limited access tokens that enable third-party content integration without requiring direct complex authentication mechanisms, thus improving monitoring comprehensiveness while managing access control complexity through a standardized token-based interface.
2Ease of operation
If time-controlled access policies are implemented for third-party content, then user access management is improved, but system operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-generating time-limited access tokens with embedded expiration times and access permissions before actual content access occurs. The control device creates these tokens in advance based on user credentials and policy rules, allowing seamless time-controlled access without requiring complex real-time authentication decisions during content retrieval, thus improving ease of operation while managing system operational complexity through pre-computed access parameters.

AI summary
According to some embodiments a system is provided. The system comprises a remote monitoring computing system that is configured to receive an alarm signal from a premises monitoring system that is configured to monitor a premises where the alarm signal is associated with an alarm event at the premises, in response to the alarm signal, obtain, from a content storage computing system, metadata corresponding to video provided by a camera at the premises, in response to the metadata, store the video in a data store of the remote monitoring computing system, and enforce an access control policy on the video in the data store where the access control policy restricts access to the video in the data store based on time and a plurality of roles of a plurality of users of the remote monitoring computing system.
