Innovation Solution
A method and system that involve receiving a User ID and Target Object-ID, retrieving adaptable attribute data from associated datagrams, and sending indicia to adapt the target object's settings and permissions based on user-specific data, utilizing a processor and computer-readable medium to manage interactions and permissions dynamically.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If RF-ID tags are used to identify and interact with connected objects, then object identification and basic interaction are enabled, but security and privacy protection are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the identification system into multiple layers: RF-ID tags for basic identification, User IDs for user-specific customization, and datagrams for structured data transmission. This segmentation allows security measures to be applied at each layer independently while maintaining customization capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that mediates between RF-ID tags and the target objects. This intermediary validates permissions, manages datagram exchanges, and enforces security policies, thereby enhancing security while enabling customized interactions based on user profiles.
2Productivity
If multiple RF-ID tags and interrogators operate in the same environment, then coverage and identification capability are improved, but interference issues increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system monitors the RF-ID environment for interference conditions and dynamically adjusts communication parameters. The datagram exchange includes acknowledgment and error correction protocols that help maintain reliable communication in multi-tag environments.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically manages RF-ID interactions by activating specific User IDs and datagrams based on the current context and detected interference levels. This dynamic approach allows the system to optimize performance and reduce interference in real-time.
3Ease of operation
If user-specific customization is implemented for connected objects, then user experience is enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal permission management system using User IDs and datagrams that can be applied across multiple target objects and users. This universal approach simplifies complexity by providing a standardized framework rather than requiring separate customization logic for each object.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses datagrams to copy and transfer user profile information and permission settings between different interactions. This copying mechanism allows consistent user experience across multiple sessions and devices without requiring complex real-time customization logic.
4Reliability
If permission and setting management is implemented dynamically, then security and adaptability are improved, but processing requirements and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining User IDs, permission sets, and datagram structures before actual interactions occur. This preparation reduces the complexity of real-time permission management by having standardized templates ready for deployment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system manages complexity by changing parameters in a controlled manner - switching between different User IDs and activating specific datagrams based on context. This parameter-based approach allows dynamic permission management without requiring complex architectural changes.

AI summary
In accordance with one example embodiment of the present invention a method is provided for adapting and customizing the attributes and the functionalities of a connected object according to preferences, settings and permissions associated with a user paired with said connected object. In some implementations, at least part of the inputs and adjustments imparted by said user to said connected object via an input/output user interface could seamlessly translate into other connected objects that belong to the same class and are paired with said user. In other implementations, the pairing of connected target objects with user IDs provides novel functionalities.
