Automatic location data determination in an electronic document
First Claim
1. An apparatus for automated data field processing of an input form, the apparatus including:
- a memory device storing stored data; and
a processing device, in response to executable instructions, operative to;
determine a purpose identifier for the input form;
receive input data associated with a first plurality of data fields of the input form;
retrieve stored data from the memory device based on the input data;
associate the stored data with a second plurality of data fields;
determine location data for a location data field of the input form based on the purpose identifier and at least one of the input data and the stored data; and
associate the location data with the input form.

Abstract
The automated data field processing of an input form includes the determination of a purpose identifier for the form. In the input form, input data is received associated with one or more data fields of the input form. Based on this input data, stored data is retrieved from a memory device and associated with further data fields of the input form. The automated data field processing includes determining location data for the input form based on the purpose identifier and at least one of the input data, the stored data or a combination of both. The location data identifies a particular location relating to the intended purpose of the business form and the location data is thereupon associated with the input form.
