Database security enforcement system with user query processing

A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12001580B1) discloses a system that involves one or more processors configured to receive a user query, determine user security privileges, configure a query string based on the user query and security privileges, query a database, obtain results, and present them to the user. The system includes a business intelligence layer to translate results into readable formats and insert selectable links for associated information. Users can interact with the results by selecting links, prompting the system to generate new query strings based on the selection and send them to the database layer for further processing. The system also allows for the configuration of security fields and descriptors to control access to information within the database.
Furthermore, the patent details a method and a computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer-readable medium that follow a similar process of receiving user queries, determining security privileges, configuring query strings, querying databases, obtaining results, and presenting them to users in a readable format with selectable links. Users can interact with the results by selecting links, triggering the generation of new query strings based on their selections. This innovative system aims to enhance user experience by providing personalized and secure access to database information based on individual user security privileges and query interactions, ultimately improving the efficiency and effectiveness of data retrieval processes.
