Abstract

The APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR A REAL-TIME DESKTOP CONFIGURER (hereinafter “RTDC”) implement efficient and scalable monitoring, regulation, and allocation of computational processing, data, labor, and/or the like resources within an enterprise. In some embodiments, the RTDC may regulate access to and/or selectively provide application files to requesting users, such as may be based on access profiles linked to user identifiers. In one implementation, access profiles may be linked to user identifiers via intermediary codes configured as delimited strings in accordance with a descriptive business grammar. The centralized management of application access and use engendered by the RTDC may provide for unprecedented flexibility, security and control in a variety of networked computing contexts, including enterprise information technology management.

retrieving a user department affiliation based on the data-structure-tracking syntax-configured string;

querying a collection of application identifiers based on the user department affiliation; and

wherein the user access profile comprises the collection of application identifiers.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the data-structure-tracking syntax-configured string comprises a delimited string configured in accordance with a descriptive business grammar.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the delimited string is a department code.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein querying a collection of application identifiers based on the user department affiliation further comprises:

querying a user program affiliation based on the user department affiliation; and

querying a collection of application identifiers based on the user program affiliation.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the user program affiliation comprises a delimited string configured in accordance with a descriptive business grammar.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the delimited string is a program code.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein querying a user access profile based on the data-structure-tracking syntax-configured string further comprises:

querying a user title based on the data-structure-tracking syntax-configured string;

querying a collection of application identifiers based on the user title; and

wherein the user access profile comprises the collection of application identifiers.

18. The method of claim 17, further comprising:

querying a user function based on the data-structure-tracking syntax-configured string; and

wherein querying a collection of application identifiers is further based on the user function.

19. The method of claim 1, wherein querying a user access profile based on the data-structure-tracking syntax-configured string further comprises:

querying a user program affiliation based on the data-structure-tracking syntax-configured string;

querying a collection of application identifiers based on the user program affiliation; and

wherein the user access profile comprises the collection of application identifiers.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the program affiliation comprises a delimited string configured in accordance with a descriptive business grammar.

21. The method of claim 20, wherein the delimited string is a program code.

22. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving an association between at least one user characteristic and at least one application identifier, the association indicative of an authorization to provide an application associated with the at least one application identifier to a user exhibiting the at least one user characteristic.
