Abstract
A system, apparatus and method for filling forms, including using a graphical capture device, are described herein.
Claims24
A method, comprising:
- graphically capturing a form identifier corresponding to a first form using a scanning head of a scanning device;
- in response to graphically capturing the form identifier, presenting a plurality of options comprising:
- an option to receive additional information about the first form, an option to receive information about an entity associated with the first form, and an option to receive information about previous users of the first form;
- processing, by the scanning device, the form identifier to identify an electronic form, wherein the electronic form comprises a form field;
- obtaining field data corresponding to the form field of the electronic form using the scanning device;
- and
- generating a representation of the electronic form using the scanning device.
4 more elements
A scanning device, comprising:
- a scanning head, configured to at least graphically capture a form identifier corresponding to a first form;
- and
- wherein the scanning device is configured to:
- process the form identifier to identify an electronic form, wherein the electronic form comprises a form field,
- in response to processing the form identifier, present a plurality of options comprising:
- an option to receive additional information about the first form, an option to receive information about an entity associated with the first form, and an option to receive information about previous users of the first form,
- obtain field data corresponding to the form field of the electronic form, and generate a representation of the electronic form.
4 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a data processing apparatus, cause the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- graphically capturing a form identifier corresponding to a first form using a scanning head of a scanning device;
- in response to graphically capturing the form identifier, presenting a plurality of options comprising:
- an option to receive additional information about the first form, an option to receive information about an entity associated with the first form, and an option to receive information about previous users of the first form;
- processing, by the scanning device, the form identifier to identify an electronic form, wherein the electronic form comprises a form field;
- obtaining field data corresponding to the form field of the electronic form using the scanning device;
- and
- generating a representation of the electronic form using the scanning device.
