System for Interpolating Data into Data Fields in an Image or Text Based Project

Abstract

In a server-based system for creating and editing image and or text-based projects, the system having access to a digital medium containing an executable graphics user interface (GUI) accessible by computer browser, a system for automatically interpolating data into data fields belonging to an image and or text-based project includes a source of markup language constructs and or a tool implemented in software on a digital medium, and an intermediate data population form resident on a digital medium, the data population form receiving marked up data fields.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED DOCUMENTS[0001]The present application is a divisional application of co-pending application Ser. No. 12 / 838,347, filed Jul. 16, 2010, which is a non-provisional application to provisional application 61 / 227,042, filed Jul. 20, 2009. Priority is claimed to the priority date of the parent application, and the entire disclosure of the parent application is incorporated herein at least by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention is in the field of electronic commerce and pertains particularly to systems for interpolating data into data fields in an image or text-based project.[0004]2. Discussion of the State of the Art[0005]In the field of electronic commerce also known as ecommerce, there are project-oriented Websites where users may create and edit works including models, poems, art, and photo-based products. Websites catering to photo-based editing promote online publishing and online transacting relat...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0011]The present inventor realized in an inventive moment that if, during project editing, work could be reduced by automatically interpolating data into data fields in the project, a significant increase in efficiency and reductions in print errors might result. The inventor therefore constructed a unique system for interpolating data into project data fields that allowed users to quickly populate and print a photo and or text-based product, but constrained time delays and potential errors to an absolute minimum. A significant improvement in the user experience results, with no impediment to the overall process created.

Problems solved by technology

The problem stated above is that efficiency and flexibility are desirable in creating and editing photo-based projects over a data network, but many of the conventional means for photo editing, such as Photoshop type editors, also create inefficiencies and can result in error-prone finished products.
