Partially customized document generation

摘要

A document generation system for generating a customized document using predetermined elements of document content selected by rules operating on input information, is configured to generate a partially customized document by evaluating some of the rules to select some of the predetermined elements, and associating other of the rules and corresponding predetermined elements with the partially customized document for later use in generating a further customized document.

1. A document generation program recorded on a non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium comprising:
logic configured to be utilized by a first computer to process a document template which includes elements of content which are non-conditional, elements of content which are conditional, and rules for the use of the elements of conditional content, including:
logic configured to use input information from an information capture document to evaluate ones of the rules which can be evaluated, where not all of the rules can be evaluated; andlogic configured to generate a partially customized document including the elements of non-conditional content, elements of conditional content selected based on the evaluated rules, unevaluated rules, and elements of conditional content corresponding to the unevaluated rules; and logic configured to be utilized by a second computer to generate a fully customized document without reference to the document template from the partially customized document including the elements of non-conditional content and elements of conditional content selected based on the evaluated rules by using further input information to evaluate the unevaluated rules to select at least some of the elements of conditional content from the partially customized document.
