Privilege Mapping for Added Electronic Functions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in efficiently and automatically setting privilege information for new functions added to electronic devices, requiring manual intervention by administrators, which is time-consuming and difficult to enforce until the settings are configured.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device and system that automatically sets privilege information for new functions using acquired setting information, correlating it with existing privilege information, allowing for seamless integration of additional functionalities without manual intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual setting of privilege information is performed for each new function, then privilege management can be controlled precisely, but the administrative time and labor increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically setting privilege information for new functions based on pre-defined correspondence relationships with existing functions. When a new function is added, the management unit automatically retrieves and applies corresponding privilege information from existing functions, eliminating the need for manual administrative intervention and significantly reducing the time required for privilege management.
2Reliability
If manual setting of privilege information is performed, then security restrictions can be established, but there is a delay in restricting user access until privileges are set
Solution Approach 1:
The system establishes security restrictions immediately upon adding a new function by automatically retrieving and applying corresponding privilege information from existing functions. This preliminary automatic setting ensures that user access is restricted from the moment the new function becomes available, eliminating any delay that would occur with manual privilege configuration.
3Ease of operation
If automated privilege setting is implemented, then administrative burden is reduced, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by enabling automated privilege information setting through a management unit that automatically retrieves and applies correspondence relationships between existing and new functions. This automation eliminates the need for manual administrative intervention, significantly reducing the administrative burden while the automated processes handle the complexity internally without requiring additional user-facing complexity.

AI summary
An electronic device (100) including one or more functions, includes a storage unit (508) that stores privilege information related to the one or more functions, and a management unit (503) that, in response to addition of an additional function to the electronic device (100), sets privilege information of the additional function, based on setting information and the privilege information related to the one or more functions, the setting information being information indicating a correspondence relationship between the privilege information related to the one or more functions and privilege information related to the additional function. A system (1), a method, and carrier means are provided.
