Systems and methods for providing content aware document analysis and modification

摘要

Systems, methods and consumer-readable media for providing content-aware document analysis and modification are provided. A system for analyzing document content according to the invention may include a rules server that stores a set of expressions. Such expressions may define predetermined confidential information and/or patterns of confidential expressions. The system may further include a communication plugin that provides a platform for incorporating the set of confidential expression patterns as part of a document-producing application. Following incorporation of the communication plugin, an inline document monitor module according to the invention may form part of the document-producing application. The inline document monitor may monitor for the occurrence of at least one of the set of confidential expression patterns in a document.

1. One or more non-transitory machine-readable media storing machine-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor device, perform a method for altering confidential and non-confidential portions of a document based on the document content, the method comprising:
using a processor device to process a set of machine executable rules in conjunction with a document editing application, the set of rules defining a set of confidential expression patterns, each set of confidential expression patterns including alphanumeric characters that correspond to a social security number; using the processor device to analyze the document to determine the existence of a threshold number of two or more social security numbers in the document; in response to the detection of the threshold number of social security numbers in the document, using the processor device to:
alter the entire document whereby:
e-mail transmittal of confidential and non-confidential portions of the document are restricted;the confidential and non-confidential portions of the document are only available via a laptop computer when the laptop computer is docked at a predetermined docking station; anda watermark is attached to the document that identifies the confidential and non-confidential portions of the document as being confidential;monitor patterns of use of the document content;select the watermark based on a number of social security numbers in the document above the threshold number;determine whether the patterns of use correspond to fraudulent activity; andwhitelist the document when the number of social security numbers in the document is below the threshold number.
