  • Patent number: 11467971
    Abstract: Systems and methods for precomputing data and storing cache objects corresponding to the precomputed data are described. A system creates a new cache object when a user interacts with the system. The system precomputes formulas in the newly created cache object by replacing the formulas with corresponding calculated values. The system precomputes the formulas in the background (i.e., the user is not presented with the precomputed values while the user is manipulating the data). The system may persistently store a precomputed version cache object in a dedicated version cache storage for later use. If updates are performed to the structure and/or values of a version represented in a precomputed version cache object, effected parts of the version cache object are invalidated by replacing calculated values with the underlying formulas.

  • Patent number: 11436355
    Abstract: Structured access to volunteered private data disclosed. Access can be based on security and privacy constraint information (SPCI) that can be selected by the party volunteering the private data. The volunteered data can be stored in a protected portion of a public network. The SPCI can be correlated to the volunteered data. In response to receiving a request for access to the volunteered data, an attribute of the request can be determined to satisfy one or more rules related to the SPCI prior to facilitating access to a version of a portion of the volunteered data. The version of the portion of the volunteered data can be a redaction of the portion of the volunteered data. The version of the portion of the volunteered data can be aggregated with other portions of other volunteered data determined to satisfy corresponding SPCI related rules.
