Data visualization method with user-specific access control
The patent US12072890B2 outlines a method for querying a data analysis system that enhances user interaction through tailored visualization data. The process begins with the reception of data reflecting usage intents from client devices linked to individual users. Based on this data, the system transmits visualization data that is customized according to access control data specific to each user. This ensures that even if two users express identical usage intents, the resulting visualizations may differ due to varying access permissions, which restrict users to different subsets of data. The method also includes capturing images of the visualizations displayed on user devices, storing these images with unique generation-identifiers, and subsequently rendering them based on user-specific access control data.
Additionally, the patent describes mechanisms for executing instructions that facilitate the integration of these visualizations into web applications, while also addressing security by filtering out vulnerabilities. The system can determine whether to respond to a new usage intent by querying the data analysis system or by utilizing previously captured images, contingent on matching access control data between users. The visualizations can include various formats, such as graphs or charts, and may be displayed in different arrangements based on user interactions. This innovative approach aims to streamline data access and visualization while maintaining security and personalization in user experiences.
