Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for capturing information. In addition, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to solutions for capturing information using a web browser extension. Embodiments of the present disclosure further relate to securely transmitting captured information to a server for association with an application or form being completed by an individual.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method for capturing webpage information, comprising:
- sending, by a client device including a processor, an indication to a server that a user requests to input information into an online form;
- providing, by the client device, a webpage for display to the user using a web browser application;
- capturing, by a web browser extension on the client device, at least one of a file or an image associated with the webpage;
- sending, by the client device, the captured file or image to a server over a network;
- sending, by the client device to the server over the network, a universal resource locator (URL) associated with the webpage from which the file or image was captured;
- providing, by the client device, the online form for display, the online form comprising information extracted from the captured file or image by a rule or algorithm associated with the URL, the rule or algorithm being configured to identify at least one of a keyword, a tag, or an attribute from the captured file or image;
- and
- sending, by the client device to the server over the network, feedback associated with the extracted information, wherein the feedback is used to at least one of redefine or retrain the rule or algorithm.
A server system for capturing webpage information, comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors that, when executing the instructions, are configured to:
- receive, over a network, an indication that a user requests to input information into an online form;
- receive, over the network, at least one of a file or an image associated with a webpage from the client device;
- receive, over the network from the client device, a uniform resource locator (URL) associated with the webpage from the client device;
- identify at least one rule or algorithm associated with the URL for extracting information relevant to the online form from the captured file or image;
- use the at least one rule or algorithm to identify at least one of a keyword, a tag, or an attribute from the captured file by at least one of parsing information from or performing optical character recognition (OCR) on the file or image;
- extract information associated with the at least one identified keyword, tag, or attribute;
- input the extracted information into the online form;
- and
- receive, over the network from the client device, feedback associated with the extracted information, wherein the feedback is used to at least one redefine or retrain the rule or algorithm.
A method for capturing information comprising:
- receiving, by a server, an indication that a user requests to input information into an online form;
- receiving, by the server, at least one of a file or an image associated with a webpage from the client device;
- receiving, by the server from the client device, a uniform resource locator (URL) associated with the webpage from the client device;
- identifying, by the server, at least one rule or algorithm associated with the URL for extracting information relevant to the online form from the captured file or image;
- using, by the server, the at least one rule or algorithm to identify at least one of a keyword, a tag, or an attribute from the captured file by at least one of parsing information from or performing optical character recognition (OCR) on the file or image;
- extracting, by the server, information associated with the at least one identified keyword, tag, or attribute;
- inputting, by the server, the extracted information into the online form;
- and
- receiving, by the server from the client device, feedback associated with the extracted information, wherein the feedback is used to at least one redefine or retrain the rule or algorithm.
