Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for a system that effectively manages Internet access based on unique identification information of devices, such as MAC addresses and IMEI, to block access to harmful or irrelevant web pages, particularly for users like children and employees who may not have self-control or are accessing the internet for non-work-related purposes during work hours.

Innovation Solution

A service server capable of performing Internet access management services according to grades, which includes a degree table maintenance unit, a rule table maintenance unit, a degree confirmation unit, a rule confirmation unit, and an access control unit. This server confirms the access authority degree of a client terminal based on its unique identification information, determines if the terminal has the authority to access a web page, and controls access based on this determination, thereby managing access to harmful or irrelevant sites.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a simple blocking system is used to control Internet access, then the system complexity is reduced, but the ability to provide differentiated access control for different user groups (children, employees, etc.) is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess control differentiationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the access control system into multiple components: a degree table maintenance unit that stores access authority degrees for different client terminals, a rule table maintenance unit that stores filtering rules, a degree confirmation unit that verifies access authority, a rule confirmation unit that checks filtering rules, and an access control unit that executes blocking or permitting decisions. This segmentation allows differentiated access control for different user groups while keeping each component's functionality focused and manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-registering client terminals and pre-defining access authority degrees in the degree table before actual Internet access occurs. The system maintains degree tables and filtering rules in advance, so when access requests are made, the system can quickly retrieve and apply the appropriate access control decisions without complex real-time negotiations or negotiations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Object-affected harmful factors

If access control is implemented for all web pages, then harmful content is blocked, but the loss of time for processing access requests increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveharmful content blockingVSAvoidaccess request processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary classification by pre-categorizing web pages into different types (harmful, work-related, entertainment, etc.) and pre-assigning access authority degrees to different client terminals before actual access requests occur. This preliminary classification is stored in the rule table and degree table, enabling rapid lookup and decision-making during actual access requests without requiring complex real-time analysis of each web page.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by implementing different access control strategies for different types of web pages and different client terminals. Instead of applying a uniform blocking rule to all web pages, the system tailors the access control degree locally according to the specific terminal's authority level and the specific web page's category, achieving precise control while optimizing processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Disclosed are a service server capable of performing Internet access management services according to grades and the operating method thereof, which when a request for permission to access a web page is received from a client terminal, confirm an access authority degree set in the client terminal based on unique identification information of the client terminal, determine whether the client terminal is a terminal having an authority capable of accessing the web page based on access authority degree, and control whether the client terminal accesses the web page based on a determination result.
