Appl. No.:

09/085075

Inventors:

Rinaldo DiGiorgio - Stony Brook NY
Michael S. Bender - Boulder Creek CA

Assignee:

Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

G06F 1214

US Classification:

713201, 713172

Abstract:

A secure token device, such as a smart card or an ibutton, provides a user with a vehicle for accessing services that are provided by an Internet Service Provider (ISP). The user places the secure token device in communication with a reader that is coupled to a computer system. The computer system includes a web browser for accessing the services provided by the ISP. The secure token device may perform an authentication protocol to authenticate itself to the ISP. The ISP may also be required to authenticate itself. The secure token device may hold an electronic currency token for payment of services rendered by the ISP. The secure token device may contain stored personal information about the user. The user may stipulate what portions of this personal information are provided to the ISP upon request. Contextual information regarding sessions with the ISP may also be stored on the secure token device and used to restore a context of a previous session during a subsequent session.

US Classification:

705 40, 705 39, 705 43, 705 44

Abstract:

A distributed budgeting and accounting system is designed to operate with secure token devices. The secure token devices serve both as electronic currency purses and as secure vehicles for authorization. The distributed budgeting and accounting system allows a budget to be defined for an organization. The budget is implemented via the secure token devices by transferring electronic currency tokens representing portions of the budgets to secure token devices associated with different portions of the organization. The funds may be transferred down a hierarchical organization by transferring funds between respective pairs of secure token devices. Once the budget has been fully distributed, members of the organization may spend electronic currency tokens on their secure token devices to cover the cost of using resources. Each card holder of the secure token device may only spend up to the amount provided on the associated secure token device. Secure token devices may be provided for service providers so that these funds that are spent to cover the use of resources may be accumulated to it.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707717

Abstract:

A computer implemented method, computer program product, and data processing system for dynamically altering database views, based on a set of administrator-defined rules. The dynamic view system determines whether the query, requested by a user, has an associated view rule. The system determines if the view rule is satisfied. In response to a satisfied associated view rule, the altered view is returned to the user.

International Classification:

G06F 7/00
G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707792, 707803

Abstract:

Information warehouse table data is updated through a full outer join between warehouse tables and source tables in response to a single query language command statement of a relational database computer language. The single command statement comprises table mapping instructions for updating the warehouse tables that define matching conditions, delete instructions, archive instructions, and update instructions. The full outer join inserts rows in the warehouse tables for source table data rows that do not have corresponding matching rows in the warehouse table. Data rows in the warehouse tables without corresponding matching source table rows are deleted if a value of a parameter in the warehouse table system is set to delete; updated if the parameter is update; and updated with archive values and a new table row inserted with existing values if the parameter is archive.

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707 9, 707 4

Abstract:

A method, system and computer-readable medium for controlling access to a relational database is presented. The method includes: defining and creating a plurality of entitlement tables, wherein the entitlement tables are usable by multiple relational databases; receiving a request, from a user, for access to requested data in a relational database, wherein the user is identified by a user identifier that is set by a relational database program; and determining if the user is authorized to access the requested data by comparing the user identifier with an entry in an entitlement table that is associated with the requested data in the relational database, wherein the entitlement table defines which data classifications are authorized to be accessed by the user. The plurality of entitlement tables may have a priority hierarchy, wherein the priority hierarchy defines a higher priority entitlement table as being dominant to a lower priority entitlement table.
