Title: Transmitting protected information using a temporary file
Inventor: WRAY DAVID ROBERT
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2000-08-21
Abstract: A method for selectively transmitting elements of protected information comprises the steps of storing the protected information in a secure location, creating a temporary file containing the elements of protected information cleared for transmission, storing the temporary file at an exposed location for transmission, and deleting the temporary file from the exposed location as soon as its contents have been transmitted, so that the protected information is not exposed to unauthorised access.. The contents of the secure location may be monitored at regular intervals, checking for unauthorised data, and may mark, delete, or move such data to a "quarantine" storage area. The secure location may also be monitored for data older than some predetermined amount of time. A client identifier may be used to identify a client for transmission. Such an identifier may include a key, which may use configuration data of the client to generate a unique key.. Clients and information may have profiles or policies to control access to the information. A request for information may use pseudo locators, which apparently are the address of the location, but are actually used to identify tasks needed to clear the protected information.

Title: Multi-dimensional data storage and retrieval using multiple overlapping categorisations
Inventor: ROSS GORDON
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2001-06-04
Abstract: With the explosion of Web content there is a need to better manage information. Mathematics and Logic make use of non-overlapping hierarchical classifications. Human information processing requires a paradigm shift. A frequent human process is to use multi-dimensional and overlapping categorisation. This novel method uses shared categorisation cycles to extend the cognitive process to human-computer-content interaction. Using multi-dimensional information structures, and combining this with pre-defined, shared categories, information is represented within iterative, multi-dimensional structures. Information content can simultaneously appear in multiple categories. The structure mirrors human cognitive abilities where multiple categories play their part in information assimilation and interpretation. The method handles the creation, transmission, display, interaction and storage of information into multiple overlapping and non-exclusive categories, and differentiates classes of event, experience and activity, to ensure sources and streams of content are categorised for human-computer interaction. The method supports content, community, computing and communications within and across devices.
