Hierarchical Web Localization Engine for Access Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current web application systems lack an efficient method to determine user access permissions and apply appropriate localization settings based on hierarchical levels, leading to inconsistent and unauthorized content display for users.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilize a localization engine to determine user access by matching user qualifiers with node qualifiers in a logical application hierarchy, and apply localization configurations to entities based on node localization settings, ensuring authorized content display and appropriate language or content adaptation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If hierarchical resolution method is implemented, then localization accuracy and security are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the web application into a hierarchical structure with multiple levels (e.g., level 1, level 2, level 3), where each level represents a different scope of localization. This segmentation allows the system to apply localization settings at appropriate granularities, improving accuracy without requiring a complete redesign of the entire system. The hierarchical breakdown enables localized changes at specific levels without affecting other parts of the application.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a hierarchical dimension to the localization system, adding depth to the traditional flat localization approach. By organizing localization settings across multiple hierarchical levels, the system can resolve conflicts and apply appropriate localization rules based on the user's position in the hierarchy, thereby improving reliability while managing complexity through structured organization.
2Measurement precision
If hierarchical resolution method is implemented, then content authorization accuracy is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-establishing the hierarchical structure and localization rules during system setup and configuration phases. Authorization rules and localization settings are defined in advance at each hierarchical level, allowing the system to quickly resolve localization requests by simply traversing the pre-defined hierarchy rather than computing authorization rules in real-time, thus improving processing speed while maintaining high accuracy.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple localization levels are supported, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal hierarchical localization framework that can handle multiple localization levels (level 1, level 2, level 3, etc.) through a single unified mechanism. This multi-functional system can accommodate various localization scenarios (language, region, culture, etc.) at different hierarchical levels without requiring separate systems for each type, thereby improving adaptability while managing complexity through consolidation.
Data Source
AI summary
In general, in one aspect, the invention relates to a method for processing requests from client devices. The method includes receiving, from a client device, a request for an entity associated with a web application, where the request is associated with a user, making a first determination, by traversing a logical application hierarchy of the web application, that the user is permitted to view the entity, and based on the first determination, providing the entity to the client device.
