Abstract

A document presentation system routes a document having sensitive data to various users, wherein the various users have different levels of permission to access the sensitive data. When any user displays the document on a display of an electronic device, the display will show document so that sensitive data is replaced with an augmented reality (AR) marker. The AR marker may include a descriptor of the class of data to which the sensitive data belongs. The system will also display an AR overlay for each AR marker. For each user, the AR overlay for each AR marker will include none, some, or all of the sensitive data corresponding to the AR marker. The amount of the sensitive data that will be displayed will depend on the user's authorization level.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method of automatically modifying a document, comprising, by one or more processors:
receiving an instance of a document having a data field that contains sensitive data;
selecting replacement content for the sensitive data;
generating an augmented reality (AR) marker so that the AR marker comprises the replacement content and is associated with the data field;
replacing the data field's sensitive data with the AR marker;
generating a documen…
