US Patent 9665654 Secure connections in an interactive analytic visualization infrastructure

A method and system is described securely capturing up-to-date data and presenting the up-to-date data in an analytic visualization. An update server receives a data request from a container that can display the analytic visualization. The update server generates a data processing instruction and transmits it to a data server. The update server then receives a processed data set from the data server, generates a visualization update based on the processed data set, and transmits the visualization update to the container. The container can then display the analytic visualization with up-to-date data from the data server. Because the data processing is performed at the data server, the remaining data on the data server is never moved through the network and remains secure. The update server can also receive from the container, and transmit to the data server, an identifier whose permissions limit data access from the data server.
