Abstract

The computerized system 10 for automated completion of forms is an internet accessible system for automatically completing forms such as employment or other applications from individual user data retained in a database 212. The computerized system 10 for automated completion of forms provides for conversion of a paper application form into an electronic form image that is then mapped to identify entry fields, define electronic entry fields associated with the entry fields on the paper form, and associate the electronic entry fields with data item definitions in the database 212 for automatic filling of the form fields form data stored in the database 212.
Users 216 may enter their personal data into the database 212 for subsequent filling of forms either through a default data entry process, or by filling out a first form.

Claims (13)

1. A computerized system for automated completion of forms, comprising:
(a) a server computer having a microprocessor, an area of main memory for executing program code under the direction of the microprocessor, and a disk storage device for storing data and program code;
(b) a database accessible by said server computer, the database containing data item definitions;
(c) data input means for entering data input cognizable by said microprocessor; and (d) a computer program stored in the disk storage device and executing in main memory under the direction of the microprocessor, the computer program including:
(i) data defining means for creating new data item definitions in said database;
(ii) data item mapping means for associating a data item definition within said database with at least one other data item definition in said database in a parent/child association;
(iii) form entry means for inputting an electronic form image representative of a paper form having data entry fields and storing said electronic form image in a database;
(iv) form mapping means for accepting a user input identifying a screen position of said data entry fields, and for creating electronic form field definitions corresponding to said data entry fields, each electronic form field definition including the screen position and an association with one of said data item definitions in said database.
2. The computerized system for automated completion of forms according to claim 1, wherein said form mapping means comprises means for generating a web page and for delivering the web page to a remote workstation computer for display by a client program running on said remote workstation computer.
3. The computerized system for automated completion of forms according to claim 2, wherein said form mapping means further comprises means for including a client side program in said web page, the client side program comprising client side mapping means for accepting a user input identifying the screen position of said data entry fields and creating electronic form field definitions corresponding to said data entry fields.
4. The computerized system for automated completion of forms according to claim 3, wherein said client side program further comprises means for communicating said electronic form field definitions to said server computer, and wherein said computer program further comprises means for receiving said electronic form field definitions from said client side program.
5. The computerized system for automated completion of forms according to claim 1, wherein said computer program further comprises form filling means for displaying said electronic form image overlaid with electronic text entry fields defined by said electronic form field definitions, and for accepting input data in said electronic text entry fields.
6. The computerized system for automated completion of forms according to claim 5, wherein said form filling means comprises means for generating a form filling web page, the form filling web page comprising said electronic form image overlaid with said electronic text entry fields.
7. The computerized system for automated completion of forms according to claim 6, wherein said form filling means further comprises means for receiving form data entered into said form filling web page and storing the form data in said database.
8. The computerized system for automated completion of forms according to claim 1, further comprising a document scanner in communication with said server computer, wherein said form entry means comprises means for operating the document scanner, for receiving an electronic form image from the document scanner, and for storing the electronic form image in said database.
9. A computerized method for automated completion of forms from personal data stored in a database, comprising the steps of:
creating an electronic form image from a paper form having at least one entry field;
defining electronic entry fields mapped in position to correspond to the entry fields in the electronic form image;
mapping said electronic entry fields to data definitions contained in said database;
identifying pieces of personal data stored in said database that correspond to said data definitions mapped to said electronic entry fields; and merging said electronic form image and said identified pieces of personal data to create a form image having all of said entry fields populated with said identified pieces of personal data.
10. The computerized method according to claim 9, further comprising the step of creating a mapping web page for mapping said electronic entry fields to data definitions contained in said database.
11. The computerized method according to claim 10, wherein said mapping web page includes a client side program executable by an Internet client program.
12. The computerized method according to claim 9, further comprising the step of entering personal data into said database.
13. The computerized method according to claim 12, further comprising the step of creating an entry web page for entering personal data into said database.
