If in automatic mode, a test is performed at 114 to determine if the current form is being viewed for the first time. If so, a user is required to fill out the form, either conventionally by typing directly into the form, or as discussed below, and the helper system monitors 116 the entries to learn insertion values for subsequent display of the form.
  • the source location or address of a form can be tracked and associated with monitored values 116 so that only values for a particular form origin are available for insertion into the form.

  • the system waits for a user to select dialog entries to transfer to the form.

Abstract

L'invention concerne l'affichage d'une ou de plusieurs boîtes de dialogue contenant des données sélectionnables telles que des entrées de dialogue contenant du texte ou des images. Dans un mode de réalisation, des zones (300, 306) sont associées à des entrées de dialogue (302) et lorsqu'une zone (300, 306) est activée, une partie (306) ou la totalité (302) d'une entrée de dialogue est choisie en fonction des caractéristiques de la zone activée. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, lorsqu'un formulaire électronique est reçu, la boîte de dialogue box peut être affichée automatiquement ou manuellement. Dans ce mode de réalisation, lorsqu'une zone (300, 306) est activée dans une boîte de dialogue affichée, la partie choisie d'une entrée de dialogue (302, 306) de l'activation est insérée dans le formulaire conformément à plusieurs techniques d'insertion.
