Relationship Manager for Dynamic Access Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current approaches to managing electronic interactions lack the ability to dynamically adjust network behaviors based on predefined relationships between entities, leading to inflexible access control and service management across various communication and cloud services.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilize a relationship manager to define and enforce rules and policies between entities, allowing for customizable network and service behavior based on mutually agreed-upon relationships, which are stored and applied to interactions across various modes such as data access, communication, and resource usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If network behaviors are tied to specific requests with unilateral identification, then access control can be implemented, but the system lacks flexibility and mutual agreement mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing relationships and rules between entities before electronic interactions occur. The relationship manager pre-configures access controls, service permissions, and behavioral rules that will govern future interactions, eliminating the need for unilateral identification during actual interactions and enabling flexible, pre-negotiated access control.
2Ease of operation
If unilateral identification is used for special routing, then specific call routing can be implemented, but the system lacks mutual agreement and customization
Solution Approach 1:
The relationship manager acts as an intermediary between entities, facilitating mutual agreement on interaction rules and behaviors. Instead of unilateral identification, the intermediary enables both parties to negotiate and establish customized relationships that govern routing, access control, and service permissions, making the system both easy to operate and highly customizable.
3Reliability
If network behaviors are specific to particular requests, then responsive control is achieved, but the system cannot dynamically adjust based on predefined relationships
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamics by enabling relationship-based rules to dynamically adjust network behaviors during interactions. The relationship manager continuously evaluates predefined relationships and applies appropriate rules to modify access controls, service permissions, and interaction patterns in real-time, making the system both responsive to current conditions and adaptable to changing requirements.

AI summary
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a process that includes receiving first input defining a relationship between first and second entities, generating a first rule based on the first input, wherein the first rule determines accessibility of a networked service, and associating the first rule with the relationship. The first rule modifies settings of a service management infrastructure to effectuate the first rule in accordance with the relationship, wherein the service management infrastructure provides access to the networked service based on the accessibility. Other embodiments are disclosed.
