  • Publication number: 20180276407
    Abstract: Systems and methods for retrieving a data object. An example method includes: receiving a query comprising a field identifier and a field value related to the field identifier; determining the field identifier corresponds to an entry of a data map, the data map comprising a plurality of entries generated in part based on a plurality of field identifiers; in response to the determination, obfuscating at least one of the field identifier, field value, and both the field identifier and the field value to generate a record locator; identifying one or more encrypted values within the data map based on the record locator, wherein the one or more encrypted values is associated with the entry having an corresponding record locator that matches the generated record locator; and decrypting and forwarding the one or more encrypted values as a response to the query.

  • Publication number: 20170262525
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for securely storing information of a user in a user profile to prevent access to the information and minimize the amount of information disclosed during a security breach. Information pertaining to a user is obtained from one or more sources and organized into a user profile and securely stored in a database. The user profile may be stored remotely in a cloud-based system at a remote encrypted server, with portions of the profile stored in separate locations with separate encryption to minimize the risk of unauthorized access to one portion of the information. The fields of data in the user profile may also be separately encrypted with separate encryption keys and separately stored in separate databases to minimize the amount of information which could be disclosed by the unauthorized access to a single encryption key or a single database.

  • Patent number: 9639597
    Abstract: Systems and methods for collecting, classifying and organizing user information into a dynamically-updated user profile are provided. Information pertaining to a user is obtained from one or more data sources, and the information is then classified into specific categories using field mapping and other techniques, after which it is organized into a user profile and securely stored in a database. The user profile is dynamically-updated by automatically detecting and storing updates to the information in the user profile based on user interactions, communications and other online or electronic activities. Information is instantaneously collected from user-completed electronic form input fields which is mapped back to the user profile. The user profile is a single, comprehensive source of user information that is securely stored and available to the user in any location and for any purpose, such as automatically and instantaneously populating fields of an electronic document, form or web-based application.

  • Publication number: 20160019197
    Abstract: Systems and methods for locating, identifying, mapping and completing electronic form fields are provided herein. A mapping engine is configured to identify form fields using a variety of similar field names through one or more algorithms configured to identify and match similar field names and combinations of field names. A form field mapping and identification engine identifies a form category using a machine learning classification algorithm, then determines and maps form labels to form fields using seeded values and optical scanning in order to produce a human readable label for each form field. The field labels are used to generate a set of terms for each form field that are used to identify content to be filled in the form with a high degree of accuracy. Additional embodiments are directed toward locating form fields in an electronic form known as a formless form.

  • Publication number: 20140122988
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for populating user information onto an electronic form such as a word processing document, template, application-specific form or web page. Fields are identified on the electronic form and matched with fields stored in a continuously-updated user profile before the content of the matching fields are populated onto the electronic form. The electronic form may be stored within a central forms library and selected by the user for completion, while a third-party form presented as a word processing document, template, application-specific form or web page may be populated using an application extension which communicates with an application, browser or third-party service to identify and populate the form fields. Additionally, a mobile application provides for physical forms to be captured by a camera on a smartphone or tablet, after which the fields are identified and populated onto the captured image of the form.
