Establishing user-confidence levels of data inputs
First Claim
1. A method carried out by a computing system comprising a processor and non-transitory data storage containing instructions executable by the processor for carrying out the method, the method comprising:
- presenting via a user interface display, a plurality of data-input fields in a computer-based form having an associated default order for user entry of respective values in the respective data-input fields, wherein arrangement of the data-input fields of the computer-based form suggest the associated default order in which the respective values should be entered responded to;
receiving respective user entered values via the user interface in the respective data-input fields;
storing a respective current counter value of an incrementing counter in association with receiving each respective user entered value;
establishing a respective user-confidence level for each of one or more of the respective user entered values, wherein each established user-confidence level is set based at least in part on a comparison of the associated default order with a set of one or more of the stored counter values, wherein the stored counter values indicate a departure from the default order; and
outputting, to the user interface display, the established user-confidence levels, and wherein departure from the associated default order results in displaying higher and lower user-confidence levels of the user entered values as compared to the user-confidence levels associated with the default order, wherein departure from the associated default order further establishes greater user-confidence levels for data-input fields which are entered as compared to data-input fields which are skipped, without requiring user entry of a confidence level.

Abstract
An embodiment takes the form of a method carried out by a computing system comprising a processor and instructions for carrying out the method. The method includes (i) presenting via a user interface a plurality of data-input fields having an associated default order for user entry of respective values in the respective data-input fields, (ii) receiving respective values entered via the user interface in the respective data-input fields, (iii) storing a respective current counter value of an incrementing counter in association with receiving each respective entered value, (iv) establishing a respective user-confidence level for each of one or more of the respective entered values, wherein each established user-confidence level is set based at least in part on a comparison of the associated default order with a set of one or more of the stored counter values, and (v) outputting one or more of the established user-confidence levels.

18. A computing system comprising:
-
a processor; and non-transitory data storage containing instructions executable by the processor for carrying out a set of functions, the set of functions comprising; presenting via a user interface display, a plurality of data-input fields having an associated default order for user entry of respective values in the respective data-input fields; receiving user entered respective values via the user interface display in the respective data-input fields; storing a respective current counter value of an incrementing counter in association with receiving each respective user entered value; establishing a respective user-confidence level for each of one or more of the respective user entered values, wherein each established user-confidence level is set based at least in part on a comparison of the associated default order with a set of one or more of the stored counter values, wherein the stored counter values indicate a departure from the default order; and outputting, one or more of the established user-confidence levels to the user interface display, wherein the departure from the default order results in displaying higher and lower user-confidence levels of the user entered values as compared to user confidence levels displayed which are associated with the default order, wherein departure from the associated default order further establishes greater user-confidence levels for data-input fields which are entered as compared to data-input fields which are skipped, without requiring user entry of a confidence level. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28)
