Computer-implemented methods systems and articles of manufacture for automated construction of computer-generated user interface

Abstract:

Computerized systems and methods for automatic construction of computer-generated user interfaces that reduce questions presented by electronic document preparers to customers. Embodiments result in more efficient question presentation and answering of same and more efficient and accurate electronic document data while reducing customer confusion by eliminating extraneous questions or content that are not relevant to a preparer's information request or that obfuscate relevant preparer inquiries. Fillable portions of one or more electronic forms or templates are extracted and aggregated to construct a new user interface or interview screen that is independent of an electronic document preparation application utilized by the preparer and presented to the customer. Customer responses provided through the constructed user interface are stored to a data store shared with the electronic document preparation application to update the current electronic document data.
