  • User specific intelligent interface which intercepts and either replaces or passes commands to a data identity and the field accessed
    Patent number: 5524238
    Abstract: A user specific intelligent interface reduces the costs of application systems development and improves data security and productivity of a user interface by creating an intelligent interface customized to each specific user. The interface uses external intercepts to an application and allows external interface software to control data access and dynamically improve user productivity. The system uses a software utility that maintains tables which define permissions regarding use of specific data items in a specific context, and also processes instructions regarding the usage by specific users of individual data fields displayed on a screen. The system works in conjunction with an application to improve security, provide audit trails and productivity of each individual user's usage of the system. The system records usage data for each individual user which is analyzed to determine future actions.
