Patent number: 10320789Abstract: A method for interacting with one or more data resources is disclosed which decreases necessary user actions and improves security. In one embodiment, the method comprises detecting the selection of a desired action to fetch data, obtaining that data from a data source associated with the action, and displaying the data to a user for a display period. The method comprises automatically restoring the device to a prior state after the end of the display period, eliminating the need for the user to do so. In one embodiment, this also ensures that the data is no longer present on the device. In one embodiment, the method includes automatic logout for secure data sources, eliminating the need for the user to logout, and improving security of the data resource. In one embodiment, the method can also post data to a data resource more securely and easily.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2014Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Actioneer, Inc.Inventors: Bruce Tribbensee, Thomas Hagan
