  • Patent number: 10896746
    Abstract: A proxy data augmentation system and method intelligently augments digital information sets with proxy data using analytical processing technology. The proxy data system and method identifies fields in a digital information set that are candidates for modification using proxy data. After identifying a candidate field, an analytical process is invoked to evaluate a context of the candidate field. In one embodiment, once the context and at least one other parameter associated with the digital information set are evaluated, the proxy data augmentation system and method can determine appropriate proxy data to populate the candidate field and modify the digital information set with the determined proxy data. The modified document can then be sent to a recipient data processing system. Additionally, the digital information set submitting and/or recipient data processing system can be notified of the existence and identification of the proxy data.
