METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REPLACING DATA IN A STRUCTURED DESIGN TEMPLATE
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- (A) receiving a user data set, the user data set including a first plurality of fields; and
(B) determining whether the user data set matches a design template, the design template including a second plurality of fields, based on a comparison between the first plurality of fields and the second plurality of fields.

Abstract
A method and system for replacing data in a design template. An end-user may provide a dynamic, structured client data set to be adapted to a predetermined, structured design template (e.g., a map or report). A repository of design templates may be searched to discover a list of candidate templates that may be capable of matching the client data. The end-user may select a design template that may be capable of showing the client data. The server may match the client data to a data structure for a candidate design template by using a data replacement approach, such as a column/alias approach. The end-user may potentially enlarge the matching set by providing information to help the matching algorithm; for example, providing column aliases where the matching algorithm may match template data column and column alias names with those specified for the client dataset.

20. A design and data replacement system, comprising:
-
a client to receive a user data set, the user data set including a first plurality of fields;
a design environment to design a design template, the design template including a second plurality of fields;
a repository to store the design template; and
a delivery system to match the user data set with the design template by comparing the first plurality of fields with the second plurality of fields. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
