Simplified form interface system and method
First Claim
1. A method for simplifying visual organization of form information, the method comprising:
- by a form simplification server, causing to be displayed on a remote computing device a virtual transaction form that comprises a first visual representation of a first plurality of editable input fields and a first visual representation of a second editable input field;
receiving, by the form simplification server, a request to view a simplified version of the virtual transaction form sent by the remote computing device; and
generating a simplified virtual transaction form, wherein the simplified virtual transaction form comprises a second visual representation of the first plurality of editable input fields of the virtual transaction form, wherein the second visual representation of the first plurality of editable input fields of the virtual transaction form is a single editable input field such that there is a one-to-many correspondence of the single editable input field of the simplified virtual transaction form to the first plurality of editable input fields of the virtual transaction form, and a second visual representation of the second editable input field of the virtual transaction form, wherein the second visual representation of the second editable input field of the virtual transaction form comprises multiple editable input fields such that there is a many-to-one correspondence of the multiple editable input fields of the simplified virtual transaction form to the first visual representation of the second editable input field of the virtual transaction form, wherein the second visual representation of the first plurality of editable input fields is visually distinct from the first visual representation of the first plurality of editable input fields, and wherein the second visual representation of the second editable input field is visually distinct from the first visual representation of the second editable input field.

Abstract
Technologies for simplifying visual organization of form information include a form simplification server. A virtual transaction form including editable input fields visually organized in an initial format is displayed. In response to a request for a simplified version of the virtual transaction form, the form simplification server generates a simplified virtual transaction form including editable input fields that correspond to the editable input fields of the virtual transaction form. The editable fields of the simplified virtual transaction form are visually organized in a format different from the initial format of the virtual transaction form. The simplified virtual transaction form is displayed. The form simplification server may also receive a user-specified data element input into one of the editable input fields of the virtual transaction form. The corresponding editable input field of the simplified virtual transaction form can be populated with the user-specified data element. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

13. A system for simplifying visual organization of form information, the system comprising:
a form simplification server comprising a processor configured to execute instructions stored in memory, wherein the instructions cause the processor to; cause display of a virtual transaction form that comprises a first editable input field and a second editable input field, the first editable input field and second editable input field being visually organized in a first format; receive a request to view a simplified version of the virtual transaction form sent by a remote computing device; and generate a simplified virtual transaction form, wherein the simplified virtual transaction form comprises a third editable input field that corresponds to the first editable input field of the virtual transaction form and multiple editable input fields that corresponds to the second editable input field of the virtual transaction form such that there is a many-to-one correspondence of the multiple editable input fields of the simplified virtual transaction form to the second editable input field of the virtual transaction form, wherein the third editable input field of the simplified virtual transaction form is visually organized in a second format different from the first format. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

16. A method for simplifying visual organization of form information, the method comprising:
-
by a form simplification server, causing to be displayed a virtual transaction form that comprises a first editable input field, a first description element visually associated with the first editable input field, a second editable input field, and a second description element visually associated with the second editable input field, wherein the first editable input field, the first description element, the second editable input field, and the second description element are visually organized in a first format; and generating, by the form simplification server, a simplified virtual transaction form, wherein the simplified virtual transaction form comprises a third editable input field corresponding to the first editable input field of the virtual transaction form and multiple editable input fields corresponding to the second editable input field of the virtual transaction form such that there is a many-to-one correspondence of the multiple editable input fields of the simplified virtual transaction form to the second editable input field of the virtual transaction form, and wherein the third editable input field of the simplified virtual transaction form is visually organized in a second format that is different from the first format and that excludes the first description element. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
