1. A system for expanding the functionality of a Legacy System comprising:
- at least one Thumb Printing Software Component capable of receiving at least one Structured Data File from at least one Legacy System User Interface and capable of performing a Thumb Print Configuration Process to create at least one Thumb Print Data File;
at least one Recognition Software Component capable of receiving said at least one Thumbprint Data File and capable of creating at least one Recognition Object, said at least one Recognition Object being capable of receiving said at least one Legacy System User Interface from said at least one Legacy System and invoking at least one Attribute Assignment Object;
at least one Novel Attribute Software Component capable of being configured by a System Administrator to receive said at least one Thumbprint Data File and to modify said at least one Thumbprint Data File to create at least one Updated Data File,at least one Processing Attribute Assignment Software Component capable of receiving said at least one Updated Data File and which may be configured by said System Administrator to assign Processing Attribute to at least one Novel Data Attributes and create at least one Data Attribute File; and
at least one Attribute Reading Software Component capable of receiving said at least one Data Attribute File and which creates at least one Attribute Assignment Object and at least one Attribute Database Object, said Attribute Assignment Object capable of responding to said at least one Recognition Object and further capable of processing said at least one Novel Data Attribute and creating at least one Updated User Interface, and said Attribute Database Object capable of creating at least one database, one table and one field.

12. A method for expanding the functionality of a Legacy System comprising the steps of:
-
receiving at least one Structured Data File created by at least one Legacy System; performing a Thumbprint Configuration Process creating at least one Thumb Print Data file using configuration input from a System Administrator; creating at least one Recognition Object configured to recognize a data from said at least one Legacy System, receive data from at least one Attribute Assignment Object and pass said data to said at least one Legacy System User Interface; performing a Data Attributes Configuration Process which creates at least one Updated Data File by adding Novel Data to said at least one Thumb Print Data File; assigning Processing Attributes to create at least one Updated Data File to create at least one Data Attribute File; creating at least one Attribute Assignment Object configured to receive Recognized Data from and send Recognized Data to said at least one Recognition Object; and creating at least one Updated User Interface. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
