Embodiments of the invention relate to systems and methods for providing an anonymization engine. One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method comprising receiving a message directed at a recipient computer located outside a secure area by a privacy computer located within a secure area. The privacy computer may identify private information using a plurality of privacy rules and anonymize the message according to the plurality of privacy rules. Another embodiment may be directed to a method comprising receiving a request for sensitive data from a requesting computer. An anonymization computer may determine a sensitive data record associated with the request and may anonymize the sensitive data record by performing at least two of: removing unnecessary sensitive data entries from the sensitive data record, masking the sensitive data entries to maintain format, separating the sensitive data entries into associated data groupings, and de-contexting the data.

A method for storing data from a data source in a storage device of a data repository by reading all source allocation units, restructuring the data into data units having a size corresponding to the repository allocation units, and generating a hash value for the data of each data unit read from the data source. For each data unit, a data table is searched for a table entry having a matching hash value wherein each table entry contains the hash value of a data unit stored in a repository allocation unit and a repository allocation unit pointer to the corresponding repository allocation unit. When the hash value of a data unit does not match any hash value of any table entry in the data table, the data of the data unit is written into a newly allocated repository allocation unit a new table entry is written to the data table. When the hash value of a data unit matches the hash value of a data entry in the data table, the data of the corresponding repository allocation unit and is compared with the data of the data unit. If the data of the data unit matches the repository allocation unit, the data unit is discarded. If the data of the data unit does not match the corresponding repository allocation unit, the data unit is written into a newly allocated repository allocation unit and a new table entry is inserted into the data table.

Financial institutions providing counseling to costumers have to spend a significant amount of time gathering data from their clients and analyzing that data before offering appropriate financial advice to their customers. Some Debt Management Programs allow costumers to enroll using online systems without appropriate education or counseling. The present invention allows a costumer to obtain financial counseling automatically. A Credit Report Data Integration system, furthermore, streamlines the process by allowing the system to obtain data, with consent of the customer, from the credit bureaus to determine the financial needs of the client. The system allows the counselor to concentrate on counseling the client, instead of dealing with data entry and analysis. Furthermore, the client has the opportunity, if desired, to receive counseling from the system without having to actually meet a counselor.

Systems and methods automate data entry and processing. Data is automatically entered into a system by reading a user identification card. The data can be supplemented with additional information, if necessary, and processed by the system. In one embodiment, the data is used to register an employee for an employee benefit program offered by a provider such as an insurance carrier. The data read from the identification card is automatically entered into an electronic enrollment form where the user can check it. Documentation corresponding to the enrollment form can be converted to an electronic copy, if necessary, and attached to the enrollment form. Once the enrollment form is complete, the user can electronically sign the enrollment form and send it through a computer network to the provider. The provider may then process the enrollment form, request additional information or corrections from the user, and register the user for the products or services.

The system and method of the present invention automatically provides dynamically generated completion information for facilitating user input of email addresses or contact information. This completion information is developed from a “data store” comprised of multiple data sources such as previously sent or received email, and other types of electronic files such as word processor or spreadsheet files.

The present invention represents an advancement on the current processes involved in designing, engineering, modeling and manufacturing of orthotic and prosthetic devices. Orthotic and prosthetic computer aided design software has the option to apply measurements to a template to create a patient specific model. The use of algorithm generated predictions (also referred to as “AGP”) software takes this functionality and makes it more scientific. Algorithm generated predictions is the process of predicting the appropriate size and shape data through the use of complex algorithms. Certain key pieces of data are entered into the software that then calculates the appropriate dimensions and the appropriate computer aided design template. The dimensions are then applied to the computer aided design template. The computer aided design software modifies the templates by reducing and enlarging areas as necessary and a custom computer aided design model is created that can then be transformed into a physical model for the manufacture of the device.

A system that designs, implements, and manages client applications on mobile devices using runtime executives and an IDE. In one aspect, the runtime executive delivers consistent GUI and application behavior within and across mobile development platforms. In another aspect, the runtime executive can set up data files of an IDE-generated client application on mobile devices and then become that application itself while supporting a pay-per-download subscription service. The runtime executive delivers multimedia content in presentation format via a one-level browsing interface, enables data entries across tabbed views with minimal typing and drilidowns via a one-level data entry interface, and precisely processes scripts and commands, including calls to COM libraries. The IDE allows non-programmers to design the GUI and the scripts for mobile device applications and compile them into application data files for multiple development platforms, which are then loaded and executed by runtime executives.
