USER INTERFACE FORM FIELD EXPANSION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- an expander component configured to display, via at least one computing device, an input window on a user interface (UI) that includes a form field associated with a compound data type, wherein the input window includes multiple constituent fields associated with portions of the compound data type; and
a synthesis component configured to display, in real-time, correctly formatted inline updates to the form field or to the input window based upon data entry input received by the UI.

Abstract
The subject disclosure relates to configurable multi-view data entry. When a user encounters a form field with a complex data type, depending on the invoking mechanism, either automatic when on focus, or through a user gesture such as clicking on an icon in the form field, the form field expands to multiple form fields including the original form field. The multiple form fields can allow the user to enter in each separate data item that makes up the complex data type. As data items are entered, the data items can be combined into a correct format and displayed in the original form field.
