Method and system for controlling access to document data using augmented reality marker

A method of presenting a document, comprising, by one or more processors:

• receiving an instance of a document having sensitive data;
• selecting replacement content for the sensitive data;
• generating an augmented reality (AR) marker so that the AR marker comprises the replacement content;
• displaying, on a display of an electronic device, an image of the document such that some content of the document appears as the AR marker with the replacement content;
• detecting an activation of the AR marker;
• determining an authorization level of a current user of the electronic device;
• accessing a data set containing sensitive data to identify a sensitive data element that is relevant to the document and the AR marker, and which has an authentication level which corresponds to the current user's authorization level;
• and
• causing the display to display the sensitive data element as part of an AR overlay on the document near the AR marker.

A document presentation system, comprising:

• an electronic display;
• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing programming instructions that, when executed, cause one or more of the processors to:
• receive an instance of a document having sensitive data;
• select replacement content for the sensitive data;
• generate an augmented reality (AR) marker so that the AR marker comprises the replacement content;
• cause the display to output an image of a document such that some content of the document appears as the AR marker with the replacement content;
• determine an authorization level of a current user of an electronic device that includes the display;
• access a data set containing sensitive data to identify a sensitive data element that is relevant to the document and the AR marker, and which has an authentication level which corresponds to the current user's authorization level;
• and
• cause the display to display the sensitive data element as part of an AR overlay on the document near the AR marker.
