Queue Control Based on Client-Specific Protocols
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in detecting and preventing automated scripts from accessing resources, as these scripts can overwhelm computational efficiency, network traffic, and server processing load, and existing detection techniques are often ineffective and resource-intensive.
Innovation Solution
A normalization and prioritization system that processes requests stored in a task queue, using client-defined protocols to modify user parameters and bias access towards specific user groups, thereby prioritizing human users over automated scripts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automated scripts are used to access resources, then request processing volume increases, but computational efficiency and server processing load deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by assigning queue positions to requests before actual resource access. Human user requests are prioritized in the queue before automated script requests, allowing the system to control access timing and prevent computational overload by processing high-value requests first.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by treating different request types with different queue positions. Human user requests receive favorable queue positions while automated script requests receive less favorable positions, allowing differentiated handling of requests based on their origin and value to the system.
2Quantity of substance
If automated scripts are used to access resources, then network traffic increases, but system performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system assigns queue positions preliminarily based on request characteristics before processing. By identifying and prioritizing human user requests in the queue before automated scripts, the system ensures that valuable requests are processed during periods of lower network traffic, improving overall system performance.
3Reliability
If detection techniques are applied to identify automated scripts, then access control improves, but processing resources are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of trying to detect and block automated scripts, the patent inverts the approach by prioritizing human user requests in the queue. This eliminates the need for resource-intensive detection techniques while achieving the same goal of preventing automated script abuse through favorable queue positioning for legitimate users.
4Measurement precision
If queue positions are assigned based on client-specific protocols, then access control precision improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the request processing system into distinct queue positions that can be independently controlled. By dividing requests into different priority levels (favorable vs. less favorable queue positions), the system achieves precise access control for different user types while maintaining manageable complexity through modular queue management.
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure generally relates to controlling access to resources by selectively processing requests stored in a task queue to prioritize certain requests over others, thereby preventing automated scripts from accessing the resources. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a normalization and prioritization system for controlling access to resources by queuing resource requests based on a client-defined normalization process that uses one or more data sources.
