Apparatus and Method for Mapping User-Supplied Data Sets to Reference Data Sets in a Variable Data Campaign
First Claim
Patent Images
1. Apparatus comprising:
- a computer interface displaying a user interface configured to receive variable data supplied by the user in at least one set, the variable data including recipient list data;
a word list categorizer configured to label as distinct categories each of the at least one user-supplied data sets based on semantics of the contents of the at least one user-supplied data sets;
a storage mechanism configured to store reference data set category names; and
a data set mapper configured to map the at least one user-supplied data set categories to the reference data set category names stored by the storage mechanism.

Abstract
In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, apparatus are provided that allow for the automatic categorization of the subsets of a user-supplied data set, for example recipient lists for a multivariable distribution campaign. A user interface is disclosed that facilitates the uploading of the user'"'"'s recipient list. A categorizer is disclosed which categorizes subsets of the user-supplied data. A storage mechanism is disclosed which stores reference categories of data expected by the multi-variable campaign logic. A mapper is disclosed which maps the user supplied data categorized by the categorizer to the reference categories stored by the storage mechanism.

19. A method comprising:
-
receiving at least one user-supplied data set via a user interface presented on a computer interface; labeling each of the at least one user-supplied data sets with a distinct category name; mapping the at least one user-supplied data sets to reference data set categories stored by a storage mechanism based on the semantics of the contents of the user-supplied data sets.

20. Machine-readable media encoded with data, the data being interoperable with machine hardware to cause:
-
receiving at least one user-supplied data set via a user interface presented on a computer interface; labeling each of the at least one user-supplied data sets with a distinct category name; mapping the at least one user-supplied data sets to reference data set categories stored by a storage mechanism based on the semantics of the contents of the user-supplied data sets.
