Abstract

A form completion system provides a form completion engine that increases the efficiency and speed of the form filling process required to apply for services and complete events. The form completion engine may generate a flow graph that identifies a complete list of all forms required to apply for a particular service to eliminate time wasted in preparing partial applications. The flow graph may include links between different forms and each field required to be filled out by a particular entity. The flow graphs may be traversed in order to generate questions that elicit user responses including information required by the forms. The form completion engine may automatically fill in each field of the required forms using user responses to the questions and entity data stored by the form completion system.

Dependent claims

A computer implemented method of completing a form based application process, the method comprising:

obtaining a library of mapped forms, each form included in the library of mapped forms being associated with a form group and having multiple fields that need to be filled with data in order to complete the form;
receiving entity data for a user that is completing the form based application process;
generating a flow graph including one or more clusters including multiple vertices that correspond to forms included in the library of mapped forms, each of the one or more clusters and each of the vertices being connected by an edge that represents a dependency between the clusters or forms that are connected by the edge;
traversing the flow graph to generate at least one question that elicits a user response including a piece of data used to complete at least one field of a form that corresponds to a vertex included in the flow graph;
and
filling in data for the multiple fields included in each of the forms that correspond to a vertex included in the flow graph using the user response and the entity data to generate a completed form.
