EFFICIENT PROTECTION OF RECURRENT EVENT DATA FOR CALENDAR APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18323861 titled 'EFFICIENT PROTECTION OF RECURRENT EVENT DATA FOR CALENDAR APPLICATIONS
Abstract: Systems and methods of protecting series event data for a calendar application include identifying an exception item of a series event to display in the user interface of a calendar application, locating a series data container for the series event that includes the exception item, and locating an exception container element in the series data container that stores the identified exception item. When the exception container element includes an exception attachment, the exception item is decrypted to retrieve body and attachment data for the exception item which is then displayed in the user interface of the calendar application. When the exception container element does not include an exception attachment, a series master attachment stored in a series container element of the series data container is decrypted to retrieve the body and attachment data for the exception item which is then displayed in the user interface of the calendar application.
- Simplified Explanation:
- The system protects series event data in a calendar application by identifying and displaying exception items. - It decrypts exception items to retrieve and display body and attachment data in the user interface.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- Identification and display of exception items in a calendar application. - Decryption of exception items to retrieve and display data.
- Potential Applications:
- Enhancing user experience in calendar applications. - Improving data security and privacy in event scheduling.
- Problems Solved:
- Ensuring accurate display of exception items. - Safeguarding data privacy in calendar applications.
- Benefits:
- Improved user interface experience. - Enhanced data security and privacy.
- Commercial Applications:
- Optimizing calendar applications for businesses and individuals. - Enhancing data protection in scheduling and event management software.
- Prior Art:
- Research on data encryption and decryption in calendar applications. - Studies on user interface design for event scheduling software.
- Frequently Updated Research:
- Ongoing developments in data protection technologies for calendar applications.
Questions about series event data protection: 1. How does the system identify and display exception items in a calendar application? 2. What are the benefits of decrypting exception items for data retrieval in the user interface?
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods of protecting series event data for a calendar application include identifying an exception item of a series event to display in the user interface of a calendar application, locating a series data container for the series event that includes the exception item, and locating an exception container element in the series data container that stores the identified exception item. When the exception container element includes an exception attachment, the exception item is decrypted to retrieve body and attachment data for the exception item which is then displayed in the user interface of the calendar application. When the exception container element does not include an exception attachment, a series master attachment stored in a series container element of the series data container is decrypted to retrieve the body and attachment data for the exception item which is then displayed in the user interface of the calendar application.
