Web App Telecommunication Data User Identification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing web application telecommunication data monitoring systems face challenges in accurately identifying user information due to shared or dynamically changing IP addresses in network environments like DHCP, NAT, or VPN, making it difficult to perform effective access control and audit trails.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that collect web application telecommunication data, store an identification information profile, and extract user identification information using a collector, storage, and extractor components, which analyze data to identify web server addresses, login session information, and user identification, even in environments where IP addresses are dynamic or user info is not included in cookie information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If user identification information is extracted using IP address of web client, then access control and audit trail can be performed, but user identification accuracy deteriorates when multiple users share same IP or IP addresses are dynamically changed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a proxy server as an intermediary component between the web client and web server. The proxy server collects telecommunication data, extracts user identification information, and manages session information. This intermediary structure enables accurate user identification without directly relying on IP addresses, resolving the contradiction between identification accuracy and adaptability to dynamic networks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the user identification process into multiple components: collecting telecommunication data, extracting user identification information, managing session information, and determining user activities. This segmentation allows each component to handle specific tasks independently, improving overall system reliability while adapting to various network conditions.
2Measurement precision
If web application telecommunication data is monitored by IP address, then monitoring can be implemented, but measurement precision of user information deteriorates in DHCP, NAT, or VPN environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameters used for user identification from IP address-based to session-based identification. By extracting user identification information from telecommunication data and managing it through session information, the system achieves precise user information extraction without increasing operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a copy of user identification information through session information management. Instead of directly monitoring IP addresses, the system creates and maintains session records that replicate user identification data, enabling precise measurement while simplifying the monitoring process.

AI summary
Provided are an apparatus and method for monitoring web application telecommunication data by user. An information identification apparatus includes a collector collecting web application telecommunication data transmitted and received between a web server and a web client; a storage storing an identification information profile about a method of extracting user identification information by web server; and an extractor selecting user login-related web application telecommunication data among the web application telecommunication data with reference to the identification information profile, extracting a [web server address, login session identification information, and user identification information] list from the selected web application telecommunication data, extracting at least one piece of information of the web server address and the login session identification information from the web application telecommunication data after the user login, and determining whether the extracted information is matched with at least one piece of information in the list.
