  • This invention relates to the area of internet based commerce.
  • this invention enables a method and system for automatically filling in and submitting forms presented by vendor sites in order to effect commercial transactions on the web.
  • the process of interacting with the web through a browser may be broadly conceptualized as two types of interactions.
  • the first kind of interaction is based on a user finding information and collating it without subsequent interaction with the provider of the information. This is similar to reading a magazine or researching a library.
  • the second kind of interaction is based upon a user requesting goods or services from the provider of the information on the web.
  • Electronic commerce is based upon the confluence of both these activities.
  • the web is useful largely because of the ease at which it makes information available and the diversity of information it provides. Problems arise when the information is scattered in many places and not readily accessible or not easily searchable. The following issues impede the efficient use of data by users of the world wide web: (a) different data representations, (b) different vocabularies, (c) different levels of functionality (d) multiple locations, and (e) absence from the web. 3
  • VDBMS Virtual Database Management System
  • the flow of information from the user to providers of data is as important as the flow of information from providers to the user.
  • the bidirectional exchange of data forms the basis of commerce in traditional media and online. For example, a purchase involves information flow from the store to the buyer, in the display of goods available, and from the buyer to the store, in that information is a credit card number or a check or cash to complete the transaction.
  • What is needed is a method to enable a user shopping for items from different vendors' Web sites to automatically fill in order forms and then to purchase these items without having to browse and interact with different sites.
  • a method of automatically filling in on-line forms presented by web pages in an internet transactional environment by determining based upon selectable criteria a form identifier corresponding to a particular on-line form, and thereupon, for each form so identified, identifying one or many corresponding match patterns with which a page containing a target on-line form is parsed to obtain a plurality of attributes, and thereupon, for each attribute obtained in the parsing step, indexing into a database to obtain user information which may be used to fill in the target form.
  • a key advantage of systems according to the present invention is that the user does not have to fill in multiple forms in order to effect internet transactions.
  • a further advantage of the present invention is that the user does not have to interact with multiple dissimilar interfaces.
  • a yet further advantage of the present invention is that the user can shop across multiple vendors without repeatedly entering purchase information.
