ASSISTED NAME CHANGE AUTOMATION SYSTEM

摘要

An assisted name change automation (ANCA) system provides analytically derived name change recommendations to women considering marital name changes. The ANCA system provides the user with a questionnaire asking a number of questions relevant to the name change decision. The results are then used to score the available choices based on a statistical analysis of a large number of prior name change decisions. A number of demographic factors may be taken into consideration, such as the subject's geographical location, age, education level, profession, whether the subject has brothers with the same last name, and so forth. The name change recommendation is then displayed to the user. A detailed report may also be presented to the user including the recommended name change, if any, along with a graphical presentation of how the user's questionnaire responses compare with the data in the historical database.
