PICK-AND-PLACE WEBFORM AUTOFILL

摘要

An autofill browser extension or smartphone app provides for the secure storage and autofill populating of webforms with personal user information. A popup menu of stored answers appears in front of or next to a form requesting a user to fill it out. The user selects the right answer to each question and simply drags and drops it, or picks and places it in the corresponding spot in the webform. If the answer needs to be a new one, the user clicks on the box for it in the webform, enters the answer. In alternative embodiments that answer can be automatically added to the menu. Autofill database maintenance is easy and intuitive. A template describing the construction and URL location of the webform is automatically registered with a server and that enables a community of users to share in quicker, easier, form fills.
