Systems and methods for replicating values from multiple interface elements
First Claim
1. A system for simultaneously replicating data values for multiple interface elements between interfaces of different applications or documents, the system comprising:
- a non-transient memory that stores instructions; and
a processor coupled to the memory, the processor executing the instructions to perform stages comprising;
receiving a user selection of a plurality of interface elements displayed on a display device in a first interface, the plurality of interface elements comprising metadata and data values;
creating a data template that includes the metadata and data values;
storing the data template in memory;
comparing the data template to metadata of a second plurality of interface elements presented on the display device in a second interface;
based on the comparison, identifying a first plurality of corresponding interface elements of the second plurality of interface elements that relate to the selected plurality of interface elements, wherein the first plurality of corresponding interface elements include data values; and
changing the data values of the corresponding interface elements to represent the data values of the respective selected interface elements,wherein the first interface and second interface have at least one of a different organizational layout or different content around the multiple interface elements.

Abstract
Systems and methods presented herein allow a user to select multiple interface elements, simultaneously copy the selected elements, and simultaneously replicate the data values from the multiple interface elements into existing corresponding interface elements. The user selection includes first and second interface elements presented on a display device, each of the selected interface elements comprising metadata and a data value. The selected elements can be copied by creating and storing a data template that includes the metadata and data values of the first and second interface elements. The data template can then be compared against other existing interface elements to identify corresponding interface elements, such that the data values of the copied interface elements can be replicated into the identified corresponding interface elements.

11. A computer-implemented method for simultaneously replicating data values of multiple interface elements at a time between interfaces of different applications or documents, the method comprising:
-
receiving a user selection of a first interface element and a second interface element, the first and second interface elements comprising metadata and data values, the first and second interface elements being presented in a first interface on a display device; copying the selected first and second interface elements by creating, via a processor, a data template that includes the metadata and data values; comparing metadata from the data template to metadata of a second plurality of interface elements presented on a display device in a second interface; based on the comparison, identifying a first corresponding interface element that relates to the first interface element, wherein the first corresponding interface element includes a modifiable data value; and in response to a paste action, changing the data value of the first corresponding interface element to represent the first data value, wherein the first interface and second interface have at least one of a different organizational layout or different content around the multiple interface elements. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transient computer-readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform steps for simultaneously replicating data values for multiple interface elements between interfaces of different applications or documents, comprising:
-
receiving a user selection of a plurality of interface elements displayed on a screen in a first interface, the plurality of interface elements comprising metadata and data values; creating a data template that includes the metadata and data values; storing the data template in memory; comparing the data template to metadata of a second plurality of interface elements presented on a display device in a second interface; based on the comparison, identifying a first plurality of corresponding interface elements that relate to the selected plurality of interface elements; and changing the data values of the first plurality of corresponding interface elements to represent the data values of the respective selected interface elements, wherein the first interface and second interface have at least one of a different organizational layout or different content around the multiple interface elements. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
