XDM Server Forwarding Rights Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In current XML Document Management (XDM) systems, there is no mechanism to control or restrict the forwarding of documents, leading to arbitrary forwarding by senders with forwarding rights, compromising document confidentiality and effective management.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a method and system where the XDM Server (XDMS) receives forwarding requests, judges the forwarding rights of both the sender and receiver based on access rights stored in a rights document, and only forwards the document if both have the necessary permissions, thereby controlling document dissemination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a forwarding sender can arbitrarily forward a document after having a forwarding right, then the ease of operation is improved, but the document confidentiality and management control deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The XDMS acts as an intermediary between the forwarding sender and receiver. It receives forwarding requests, checks access rights in the rights document, and only permits forwarding if both the sender has forwarding right and the receiver has access right. This mediator approach maintains ease of forwarding while ensuring document confidentiality through centralized control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by checking access rights before allowing forwarding to occur. The XDMS examines the rights document in advance to verify both the sender's forwarding right and the receiver's access right, preventing unauthorized forwarding before it can compromise document confidentiality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the forwarding receiver has the same right as a document management user, then the versatility is improved, but the document management control deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by assigning different types of rights to different users: forwarding senders receive forwarding rights while forwarding receivers receive access rights. This differentiation allows each user to have the specific rights needed for their role, maintaining versatility while simplifying management control through clear right separation.

AI summary
In the field of mobile communications, embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, a device and a system for forwarding document content in Extensible Markup Language Document Management (XDM). The method includes: receiving a forwarding request sent by a forwarding sender, where the forwarding request is used to forward the document content to a forwarding receiver; judging, according to a rights document, whether the forwarding sender has a forwarding right to the document content and whether the forwarding receiver has an access right to the document content; and when the forwarding sender has the forwarding right and the forwarding receiver has the access right, forwarding the document content to the forwarding receiver. Through the solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, the forwarding sender selectively forwards the document content to the forwarding receiver according to the rights document stored in an XDM Server (XDMS).
