Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data exchange systems are inflexible in handling new and unknown users, and data providers struggle to dynamically control data access, as they require user registration and are unable to easily add parameters for specific data access or modify database structures and user groups.

Innovation Solution

A data exchange system that creates a virtual channel based on predefined authentication conditions, allowing content providers to specify which data to transmit to content receivers, enabling flexible data access management without modifying existing databases or user groups.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a central database structure is used for data exchange, then data can be accessed by multiple users, but the system cannot flexibly modify database structure or user groups

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility to modify database structure and user groupsVSAvoidcomplexity of database structure modification
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data exchange system into multiple virtual channels, each with its own authentication conditions and data access rules. This allows the system to handle different user groups and data types independently without modifying the underlying database structure, thereby achieving flexibility without structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic virtual channel creation based on authentication conditions. The system can dynamically add new parameters and configure access rights for new user groups without requiring database schema changes, enabling adaptive data exchange while maintaining a stable database structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If user registration is required for data access, then data security is improved, but the system cannot handle requests from new and unknown users flexibly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to handle new and unknown usersVSAvoidauthentication security
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary authentication mechanism that mediates between security requirements and new user access. The system uses virtual channels with configurable authentication conditions that can verify new users through alternative means (such as device identification, referral codes, or automated verification) without requiring traditional registration, thus maintaining security while enabling flexible access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If data is transmitted to all users via a shared database, then data distribution is simplified, but the system cannot control which data is transmitted to which user

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegranular control of data transmissionVSAvoidcomplexity of data access control
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different authentication conditions and data access rights to different virtual channels. Each channel can be configured with specific parameters that control which data is transmitted to which user group, enabling granular control without requiring complex global database modifications. This allows content providers to specify exactly which data reaches which users through channel-specific configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A data exchange system and method for creating a virtual channel are presented. The data exchange system comprises at least one content provider, at least one content receiver, and a communication platform for connecting the at least one content provider to the at least one content receiver. The communication platform is configured to create a virtual channel for transmitting data between a content provider and a content receiver in response to the content receiver satisfying predefined authentication conditions of the content provider, wherein the virtual channel specifies at least a part of the data to transmit.
