COLUMN HIDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240281555 titled 'COLUMN HIDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The abstract describes systems and methods for managing column hiding in a table based on access restrictions associated with a client device. When a query is received from the client device, the systems and methods identify a restricted column and provide query results excluding data from that column.
- Systems and methods manage column hiding based on client device access restrictions
- Identify and exclude restricted column data in query results
- Enhances data security and privacy by controlling access to specific columns in a table
- Improves user experience by customizing query results based on access restrictions
- Streamlines data management and retrieval processes in database systems
Potential Applications: - Database management systems - Data security and privacy tools - Business intelligence software
Problems Solved: - Ensures data security by restricting access to sensitive information - Customizes query results based on user access permissions - Enhances user experience by providing relevant data in query results
Benefits: - Improved data security and privacy - Enhanced user experience and customization - Efficient data management and retrieval processes
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Data Security and Customized Query Results for Database Systems This technology can be utilized in database management systems, data security tools, and business intelligence software to enhance data security, privacy, and user experience. It has implications for industries that rely on secure data management and customized data retrieval processes.
Questions about Column Hiding Technology: 1. How does this technology improve data security in database systems? This technology enhances data security by restricting access to specific columns based on user permissions, ensuring sensitive information is protected. 2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond database management systems? This technology can also be applied in data security tools and business intelligence software to enhance data privacy and user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods for managing column hiding are provided. the systems and methods receive, from a client device, a query associated with a table. the systems and methods determine an access restriction associated with the client device. the systems and methods identify a column of the table that is restricted by the access restriction associated with the client device. in response to identifying the column of the table that is restricted by the access restriction associated with the client device, the systems and methods provide a result of the query that excludes data corresponding to the column.
