Intelligent autofill
First Claim
1. An autofill system comprising:
- a trained machine learning component that uses one or more sets of inputs to facilitate autofilling a form field in a web-based form; and
an autofill component that selectively enters data into the first form field and a second form field based at least in part upon information generated by the machine learning component, the information is generated as a function of a characteristic of at least a third field and includes a joint probability computed from a first probability that the data entered into the first form field is appropriate for the first form field and a second probability that the data entered into the second form field is appropriate for the second form field and wherein the data is consistent with one or more constraints, wherein the components are implemented with hardware.

Abstract
The present invention provides a unique system and method that can employ machine learning techniques to automatically fill one or more fields across a diverse array of web forms. In particular, one or more instrumented tools can collect input or entries of form fields. Machine learning can be used to learn what data corresponds to which fields or types of fields. The input can be sent to a central repository where other databases can be aggregated as well. This input can be provided to a machine learning system to learn how to predict the desired outputs. Alternatively or in addition, learning can be performed in part by observing entries and then adapting the autofill component accordingly. Furthermore, a number of features of database fields as well as constraints can be employed to facilitate assignments of database entries to form values—particularly when the web form has never been seen before by the autofill system.

44. An autofill system, comprising:
-
a machine learning component that is trained to complete a first form field and a second form field of a web-based form based at least in part on observations of user entries into at least a third form field of the web-based form; a data collection component that collects training data from at least one source, which training data is used to train the machine learning component; and an autofill component that automatically enters anticipated data into the first form field and the second form field based at least in part upon information learned from the observations of the third form field made by the machine learning component, the information including a joint probability computed by multiplying a first probability that the data entered the first form field is appropriate for the first form field by a second probability that the data entered into the second form field is appropriate for the second form field and wherein the data is consistent with one or more constraints, wherein the components are implemented with hardware.

45. An autofill system, comprising:
-
a trained machine learning component that generates assignments of database entries to a first form field and a second form field of a web-based form based at least in part on a third form field on the web-based form; and an autofill component that automatically enters the database entries into the first form field and the second form filed based at least in part upon learned user preferences observed by the machine learning component and a joint probability computed from a first probability and a second probability that the respective database entries are appropriate for the first form field and the second form field and wherein the database entries are consistent with one or more constraints and wherein the components are implemented with hardware.
