MULTI-USER ACCESS CONTROLS IN ELECTRONIC SIMULTANEOUSLY EDITABLE DOCUMENT EDITOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240378308 titled 'MULTI-USER ACCESS CONTROLS IN ELECTRONIC SIMULTANEOUSLY EDITABLE DOCUMENT EDITOR
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system with an interactive user interface that allows multiple users to collaborate on an electronic document simultaneously. The system displays visual feedback to prevent users from interfering with each other and pulls data from a remote database into the document based on unique identifiers.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Interactive user interface for collaborative document authoring
- Visual feedback to prevent interference between users
- Data pulled from a remote database displayed as "artifacts"
- Monitoring and tracking of user access category levels
- Comparison of user category levels to database data to display only relevant portions of the document
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in collaborative work environments, educational settings, and any situation where multiple users need to work on a document together while maintaining data security.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the issue of multiple users working on a document simultaneously and ensures that each user only has access to the portions of the document that they are authorized to view or modify.
Benefits:
- Enhanced collaboration among multiple users
- Improved data security and access control
- Streamlined document authoring process
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications of this technology include collaborative document editing platforms, secure data sharing systems, and document management tools for organizations with strict data access requirements.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the system determine which portions of the document each user can access? 2. What measures are in place to prevent unauthorized users from viewing or modifying sensitive data?
Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research in the fields of collaborative document editing, data security, and user access control systems that could be relevant to this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
a system with an interactive user interface for a plurality of users to author an electronic document simultaneously is described. the system displays visual feedback on the interface to prevent the users from interfering with one another. the system displays data from a remote database linked into the document based on unique identifiers. the data is displayed as an “artifact.” the system monitors and tracks each user's access category level, as well as the access category level of each piece of data pulled from the remote database. the system compares a user's category level to the data from the database to make visible only the portions of the document the user has the appropriate access category level to view and/or modify. the portions of the document that have a higher category level than the user will be hidden from the user either in part or completely. also, there may be an indicator to the user of such redacted or hidden content from the user's viewer.
