SHARING OF UNSTRUCTURED DATA IN STAGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17933761 titled 'SHARING OF UNSTRUCTURED DATA IN STAGES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes systems and methods for sharing unstructured data in stages. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The invention involves a method for sharing unstructured data between a data provider and a data consumer.
- A share object is generated by the data provider, which includes information about the data consumer's account and the unstructured data files being shared.
- The share object is configured with access privileges, determining the level of access the data consumer has to the shared data files.
- A notification is then sent to the data consumer's account, informing them about the share object and the shared data files.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Collaborative work environments where multiple users need access to the same unstructured data files.
- Sharing large files or datasets between different accounts or organizations.
- Securely sharing sensitive information with specific individuals or groups.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Simplifies the process of sharing unstructured data by providing a structured and controlled method.
- Ensures that only authorized individuals or groups have access to the shared data files.
- Streamlines collaboration and data sharing workflows.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved data security and privacy by controlling access to shared data files.
- Enhanced collaboration and productivity by enabling efficient sharing of unstructured data.
- Simplified sharing process reduces the risk of errors or data loss.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided herein are systems and methods for sharing unstructured data in stages. For example, a method includes generating a share object at an account of a data provider. The share object identifies an account of a data consumer and at least one unstructured data file shared with the account of the data consumer. The share object is configured with access privileges to the at least one unstructured data file. A notification of the share object is communicated to the account of the data consumer.
