Two-layer form-based document generation for multimedia data collection and exchange
First Claim
1. A formed-based document generator for dynamically generating two-layer form documents from two-layer form specifications, the formed-based document generator comprising:
- a background document generator for generating a background document layer having a static data format, from background media and from two-layer form specifications that comprise high-level XML-based specifications;
a foreground form overlayer for generating a foreground document layer having a dynamic data collecting capability, from the two-layer form specifications;
a mixing buffer for mixing the background document layer and the foreground document layer to generate a two-layer form document; and
a data collector for collecting static and dynamic data for inclusion in the two-layer form document.

Abstract
There is provided a formed-based document generator for dynamically generating two-layer form documents from two-layer form specifications. A background document generator generates a background document layer having a static data format, from background media and from two-layer form specifications that comprise high-level XML-based specifications. A foreground form overlayer generates a foreground document layer having a dynamic data collecting capability, from the two-layer form specifications. A mixing buffer mixes the background document layer and the foreground document layer to generate a two-layer form document. A data collector collects static and dynamic data for inclusion in the two-layer form document.
