20090019351 | UNIVERSAL FORMS ENGINE - A forms engine allows data sharing between customizable on-line forms, such as college admissions applications. Before applying, an applicant opens an account with a third party application servicer. After the applicant completes an application for one institution, the data is saved in a data base and automatically populates fields in subsequent application forms. The form for each institution is created from a form description file. Each form is branded for its institution and forms for different institutions differ in appearance and content so that the presence of the third party servicer is transparent to the applicant. | 01-15-2009 |
20090019352 | Paradigm in multimedia services creation methodology, and new service creation and service execution environments - The present invention discloses a new paradigm in Multimedia Services Creation Methodology, and new Service Creation and Service Execution Environments, based on this methodology. A service designer can access the Service Creation Environment via a Web based Graphical User Interface (GUI), to design new service in an automated way. The design process includes creation of the Service Logic Script (SLS), and associated databases that are used for storage of service and subscriber related data. The service developer (user) assembles Language Graphical Objects (LGO) into Service Logic Script. LGOs are part of a new graphical language that has been developed to meet multimedia service creation needs. They represent service control and call control primitive functions that have to be performed, in order to provide a multimedia service to service subscribers. LGOs are independent of each other, they have attributes, and they pass a token to their next object(s) at certain points, as determined by their internal logic, during their execution. Therefore, several objects can be executing simultaneously at the same time. An object may change its internal state, including changing it to “in-active”, in reaction to some of the events it may receive from network and based on its internal logic. The service designer also defines service and user data as may be necessary to offer and execute the service. Data definitions are translated into database schema and the schema is used to create databases for service and subscriber information storage, and to generate Service Provisioning and Subscriber Tuning Forms. Subsequently, the service designer translates the service logic so defined, installs the results in a Service Execution Environment (SEE), and makes the service available for subscription and provisioning. A service manager provisions the service, and provides different service access authorization levels to the registered service subscribers. Service subscribers can fine-tune the service, and invoke it. | 01-15-2009 |
20090083616 | UBIQUITOUS ELECTRONIC FORMS - Technologies are described herein for generating a ubiquitous electronic form that will function correctly in multiple execution environments.

20150356065 | CONVERTING PRESENTATION METADATA TO A BROWSER-RENDERABLE FORMAT DURING COMPILATION - A request for a form is received on a client device. A static representation of the form, that includes structural information defining an overall structure of the form, as well as attribute information, is received on the client device, and a browser on the client device generates a renderable, markup language representation of the form based upon the static representation. Behavioral and state information is received from a server and is used to augment the renderable version of the form. The browser then renders the augmented, renderable version of the form. | 12-10-2015 |
20150363368 | Transforming HTML Forms into Mobile Native Forms - Techniques disclosed herein transform HTML forms into forms with graphical user interfaces (UIs) native to mobile devices. A user interface virtualization (UIV) agent divides an HTML form into rows based on row breaks. The UIV agent then identifies name-input pairs in the HTML form by applying a trained naïve Bayes classifier to determine name fields, and mapping the name fields to corresponding input fields. In addition, the UIV agent generates metadata which includes both information describing the rows in the form and the name-input information. Based on the metadata, a native form renderer running in the client device draws the form with native UI elements. In addition, the native form renderer forwards native UI events as HTML events. | 12-17-2015 |

20160117303 | ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT SYSTEM - An electronic document system, for example, includes a network portal that connects to end user devices via a network and generates graphical user interfaces on the end user devices. A database server stores data extracted by data capture entities (DCEs) associated with submitted electronic documents and approval routes for each DCE. An approval route includes steps identifying users and approval actions to be performed by the users. An application server determines an approval route from the stored approval routes for each submitted electronic document, and generates notifications for the users on the approval routes to execute the approval actions, and generates a visual representation of the approval routes in status pages via the network portal. Visual representations in the status pages are updated in real-time to indicate status information for the submitted electronic documents as the submitted electronic documents traverse respective approval routes. | 04-28-2016 |
20160117305 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FORM AUTOMATIC LAYOUT - A method and apparatus are provided for determining the layout of a form automatically to accommodate text in the form. Under the method and apparatus, a set of parameters define the sizing and alignment of elements of the form. Sizing and positioning instructions that are separate from the sizing and alignment parameters set the sizing and positioning of elements of the form based on the sizing and alignment parameters. The instructions determine the minimum size for the form, based in part on text in the form. The difference between the minimum size for the form and a desired size for the form is then distributed across the form to size and position the elements in the form. | 04-28-2016 |

20160188560 | METHOD FOR CREATING FORM VALIDATION PROGRAM AND CORRESPONDING FORM INTERFACE ACCORDING TO RESULT SET METADATA - The settings related to form fields now are unable to be set dynamically according to attributes of a table. The settings related to form fields include length of form fields, validation rule of form filed (such as length of input character or whether the input character is a not null parameter, etc.), and presentation of form fields (such as check box or calendar time selection interface). The present invention uses result set metadata of a relational database to get the attributes. Thus a form interface includes form fields corresponding to the attributes. And the presentation of the form fields can be determined by the corresponding attribute parameters. Moreover, whether data format is correct is checked by a form validation program according to data user input into the form field. Thereby development workflow can be simplified and development time can be shortened for web developers and program designers. | 06-30-2016 |
