Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems do not allow multiple users to access a user account while controlling which users can manage the account, particularly when a secondary user wants to retain control while allowing a primary user to use the account without full control.

Innovation Solution

A computing system that includes a processor, communication interface, and memory device to manage user profile attribute data, allowing authorized access to user profile data based on authentication and database verification, and transmitting relevant data to user devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a single user controls the account, then control authority is concentrated and secure, but other users cannot access or manage the account data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccount control securityVSAvoidmulti-user access capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments user roles into controllers and users, with controllers having full access and users having restricted access to specific data elements. This segmentation allows multiple users to access the account while maintaining secure control authority, resolving the contradiction between control security and multi-user accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements local quality by granting different levels of access权限 to different users based on their roles. Controllers have full access to all account data and control functions, while users have access only to their specific data elements. This differentiated access structure enables multi-user access while preserving control security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple users are granted access to the account, then data accessibility is improved, but control authority becomes diluted and security risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-user access capabilityVSAvoidaccount control security
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments user roles into controllers and users, with controllers having full access and users having restricted access to specific data elements. This segmentation allows multiple users to access the account while maintaining secure control, resolving the contradiction between control security and multi-user accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial action by granting users only the specific access rights they need to perform their functions, rather than giving them full control. Users can access and manage their own data elements without obtaining controller-level permissions, enabling multi-user access while preserving control security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Ease of operation

If separate accounts are created for each user, then individual user control is maintained, but access to shared account information becomes impossible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindividual user controlVSAvoidaccess to account information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple user accounts under a single shared account structure, allowing users to access and contribute to common account data while maintaining their individual identities and control over their own data elements. This merging enables both individual user control and access to shared information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements universality by creating a multi-functional account structure that serves both individual users and the collective group. The account can simultaneously maintain individual user profiles, store shared account data, and enable collaborative access, eliminating the need for separate accounts while preserving individual control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Information security systems and methods for accessing user data, the system is configured to receive, from a user device, a first data communication requesting user profile attribute data of a user profile associated with a first user. The system determines, via a database storing data of a plurality of user profiles each having respective user profile attribute data, a first user profile attribute data of the attribute data associated with the user profile. The system transmits, to the user device, a second data communication that indicates the first user profile attribute data.
