Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

The distribution and deployment of user profiles across large enterprises can significantly tax core computing resources, leading to bottlenecks and inefficiencies, particularly when dealing with hundreds of thousands of devices, which can result in delayed access to resources and compromised collaborative processes.

Innovation Solution

A system and method where a first server manages user groups by generating unique keys for user devices, allowing them to access user profiles through a second server, thereby offloading the load from core computing resources and enabling efficient distribution and deployment of user profiles, even in large-scale environments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If user profiles are distributed and deployed across large enterprises with hundreds of thousands of devices, then user profile management capability is improved, but core computing resources are significantly taxed leading to bottlenecks and delays

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser profile distribution efficiencyVSAvoidcore computing resource load

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the user profile distribution system into multiple distributed servers instead of relying on a single core computing resource. Each server can independently handle profile distribution to subsets of devices, dividing the overall load and enabling parallel processing of profile deployments across the enterprise infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary components including distribution servers and caching mechanisms that mediate between the core computing resources and end-user devices. These intermediaries buffer and manage profile data flow, reducing direct pressure on core resources while maintaining efficient distribution capabilities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If profile distribution is performed for thousands of user devices, then complete profile deployment is achieved, but deployment time increases to days causing bottlenecks

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprofile deployment completenessVSAvoidprofile distribution time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary actions by pre-generating and staging user profiles on distributed servers before actual deployment is needed. Profiles are prepared in advance and made available in cached form, allowing rapid distribution to devices without requiring real-time generation, thus reducing deployment time while ensuring completeness.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes continuous profile distribution processes where servers continuously manage and update profile data across the network. This continuous operation allows profiles to be incrementally distributed and updated without interrupting device operations, maintaining deployment completeness while minimizing time loss through parallel, ongoing transmission.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Reliability

If authentication processes are performed between each device and core computing resources during profile deployment, then security is improved, but capacity of core computing resources is further reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveauthentication securityVSAvoidcore computing resource capacity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces intermediary authentication servers and caching mechanisms that handle authentication processes between devices and core computing resources. These intermediaries verify device credentials and manage authentication states, allowing secure access control while preventing authentication-related processing from directly consuming core computing resource capacity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements copying of authentication credentials and device states to distributed servers and local caches. Instead of requiring each device to repeatedly authenticate with core resources, authentication data is copied to intermediaries that can verify subsequent access requests locally, maintaining security while preserving core resource capacity for profile distribution tasks.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A first server can generate user profiles and receive requests from user devices for enrollment in a first server-managed system that includes user groups. The first server can provide a unique key to a user device during an enrolment process based on a user group the user device is assigned to. The first server can include an enrollment notification for the user device in a first notification transmitted to a messaging service. The messaging service can transmit a second notification to the user device, and the user device can request a user profile from a second server based on second server access information included in the second notification. The second server can use the unique key to access user profile information which it transmits to the user device based on the request. The user device can access the user profile from the profile information using the unique key.
