Method and system for controlling access to document data using augmented reality marker

摘要

A document presentation system routes a document having sensitive data to various users, wherein the various users have different levels of permission to access the sensitive data. When any user displays the document on a display of an electronic device, the display will show document so that sensitive data is replaced with an augmented reality (AR) marker. The AR marker may include a descriptor of the class of data to which the sensitive data belongs. The system will also display an AR overlay for each AR marker. For each user, the AR overlay for each AR marker will include none, some, or all of the sensitive data corresponding to the AR marker. The amount of the sensitive data that will be displayed will depend on the user's authorization level.

1. A method of automatically modifying a document, comprising, by one or more processors:
receiving an instance of a document having a data field that contains sensitive data; selecting replacement content for the sensitive data; generating an augmented reality (AR) marker so that the AR marker comprises the replacement content and is associated with the data field; replacing the data field's sensitive data with the AR marker; generating a document file comprising the document with the sensitive data removed and replaced with the data field's AR marker; generating a data file comprising the removed sensitive data, an indicator of the AR marker, and one or more authorization levels for the removed sensitive data; displaying, on a display of an electronic device, an image of the document along with the AR marker with the replacement content; determining an authentication level for a first user who is currently using the electronic device; upon receiving a selection of the AR marker, accessing the data file to identify a first sensitive data element that is relevant to the document and the AR marker, and which has an authorization level matching the authentication level of the first user; launching an AR overlay comprising the first sensitive data element; and causing the AR overlay with the first sensitive data element to be displayed on the document near the AR marker.
