METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING AUTO-REGISTRATION AND SERVICE ACCESS TO INTERNET SITES FOR INTERNET PORTAL SUBSCRIBERS

摘要

A method and apparatus is provided for populating and submitting electronic forms by proxy over a data-packet-network (19). The apparatus comprises a software application (35) running on a system of network-connected servers (31) that enables a user (17), connected in session with one of the servers, to navigate to a site (23) containing an electronic form and obtain data about the site and about the form. The data obtained is used in conjunction with data about the user to construct a machine readable job order upon user request that may be executed for the purpose of automatic form population and submission to a host sponsoring site (15). Upon acceptance of the submitted form, data used for passwords, log-in codes and user-names is returned to a data repository where it is entered along with specific site data as a new registered site item for a registering user such that future navigation to the site, auto log-in and data may be performed automatically on behalf of the user.
