Patent number: 11954146Abstract: A method and system for providing a data analysis in the form of a customized geographic visualization on a graphical user interface (GUI) on a remote client computing device using only a web browser on the remote client device. The system receives a user's selected data analysis to be performed by the system for display on the remote client device. The system verifies the data access permissions of the user to render a data analysis solution customized to that particular user, and automatically prevents that user from gaining access to data analysis solutions to which that user is prohibited. The system is configured to respond to the user's data analysis request, perform the necessary computations on the server side on the fly, and send a dataset interpretable by the client device's web browser for display on the client device or on a device associated with the client device.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Blue Cross and Blue Shield AssociationInventors: Teresa Nguyen Clark, Michael Steven Weinberg, Carlos Ricardo Villarreal, Nathania Hau, Jelani Akil McLean, Abigail Berube, Trent Tyrone Haywood
