Systems And Methods For Provisioning A Database Of Trusted Users Based On Location - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18098208 titled 'Systems And Methods For Provisioning A Database Of Trusted Users Based On Location

The patent application describes systems and methods for provisioning a database of trusted users stored locally within an Information Handling System (IHS) based on location.

  • The technology identifies the location of the IHS and provisions a database of trusted users (TMU database) based on that location.
  • The TMU database is initially provisioned with a set of trusted users and their associated information expected for the identified location.
  • If the IHS moves to a different location, the system automatically reprovisions the TMU database with a new set of trusted users for the new location.
  • This reduces re-enrollment efforts and allows for intelligent management of the TMU database stored locally with the IHS.

Potential Applications: - Secure access control systems - Location-based authentication services - Mobile device security solutions

Problems Solved: - Simplifies the management of trusted users in different locations - Reduces the need for manual re-enrollment processes - Enhances security by ensuring only trusted users have access to the system

Benefits: - Improved security measures - Streamlined user management processes - Enhanced user experience with seamless access control

Commercial Applications: "Location-Based Trusted User Database Provisioning System for Enhanced Security Measures in Information Handling Systems"

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system identify the location of the IHS? 2. What measures are in place to ensure the security of the TMU database and the trusted user information?


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of systems and methods are provided for provisioning a database of trusted users stored locally within an information handling system (IHS) based on location. The systems and methods disclosed herein may be used to identify a location of the IHS, and provision a database of trusted users (e.g., a TMU database) stored locally with the IHS based on the identified location. The TMU database is initially provisioned with a set of trusted users (and associated TMU information) expected for the identified location. If the IHS moves to a different location, the systems and methods disclosed herein may automatically reprovision the TMU database with a set of trusted users (and associated TMU information) expected for the new location. This reduces re-enrollment and enables the systems and methods disclosed herein to intelligently manage the TMU database stored locally with the IHS.
