Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

In general, this disclosure relates to electronic form creation, in particular, to systems and methods for knowledge-based form creation.

BACKGROUND

Electronic forms such as a questionnaire, interactive quiz, or survey forms are widely used for a variety of purposes, such as user feedback collection, registration and enrollment, and/or computer-based examinations. To create an electronic form, a form creator such as an Internet user, can use a form creator software application to design questions in the form. The form creator usually needs to manually type in a question, and then manually specify a type of the question in order to design a corresponding answer field of a certain format for the respective question.

Thus, using existing form creation software, the form creator needs to repetitively set up the answer field for each question, which largely slows down the process of creating a form.

SUMMARY

Systems and methods disclosed herein provide a knowledge-based form creation platform. A form creation component may be initiated at a computing device to present a form creation user interface to a user. Content of a question can be received via a user interface from a user, from which a key term may be obtained. Information relating to the key term may be retrieved from a knowledge database, and the information may indicate an answer field format associated with the question. An answer field for the question may be automatically generated based on the answer field format.

In some implementations, the form creation component is a browser-based application.

In some implementations, the form creation component may determine a type of the question based on the key term, and retrieve an answer field format associated with the type of the question.

In some implementations, the answer field format includes any of a text field, a checkbox, or a drop-down option menu.

In some implementations, the knowledge database includes any of a local database or a remote cloud-based database.

In some implementations, the information includes a plurality of answer options related to the question.

In some implementations, the information includes a suggested answer related to the question.

In some implementations, the knowledge database stores a knowledge graph.

In some implementations, the answer field is generated at least in part based on an association with another previously created answer field.

In some implementations, the form creation component may receive an indication of user approval or disapproval in response to the automatically generated answer field, generate heuristics data indicative of the user's preference based on the user approval or disapproval decision, and optionally revise the automatically generated answer field based on the heuristics data.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

To provide an overall understanding of the systems and methods described herein, certain embodiments will now be described, including a system and method for managing suggested edits in an editing environment. However, it will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that the systems and methods described herein may be adapted and modified as is appropriate for the application being addressed and that the systems and methods described herein may be employed in other suitable applications, and that such other additions and modifications will not depart from the scope thereof. Generally, the computerized systems described herein may comprise one or more engines, which include a processing device or devices, such as a computer, microprocessor, logic device or other device or processor that is configured with hardware, firmware, and software to carry out one or more of the computerized methods described herein.

Systems and methods described herein may be used to enhance form creation over existing systems. Existing tools require a user to enter a form question and define an answer and answer type. For example, when the form creator wants to design a question to obtain the respondent's email address, the form creator may type in the questions that the respondent will see “what is your email address?” Using existing form creation tools, the form creator usually manually specifies the type of the question, i.e., a short text question, and selects a blank text field as the answer field for the question. In another example, when the form creator wants to design a question such as “What day is best for you?”, in addition to typing in the question, the form creator can specify the question type as a question of multiple choice of seven. The form creator can then specify the seven options to the question, i.e., Sunday to Saturday.

The systems and methods described herein provide an automatic form creation component that uses data analytics from a knowledge database. The automatic form creation may reduce manual steps needed from a form creator (e.g., the user) and provide a more efficient user experience for form creation.

For instance, in the respective example of the user specified form question “what is your email address?,” the form creation component may identify a key term such as “email address,” and may then automatically determine an answer field related to the key term, e.g., a text field. In addition, the form creation component can add a validation sign “@” for the answer field such that the respondent can see an answer field in a format like “_@_{——————}” In the other example of the question “What day is best for you?”, the form creation component may identify the key term “day” and “best,” based on which the form creation component may automatically choose a multiple choice answer and populate a list of seven options Monday to Sunday for the respondent to select from. In this way, the form creation component may analyze and extract key terms from the question, and may then create an answer field with options or suggested answers based on analytics from a knowledge database.

FIG. 1 is an example block diagram of a computerized system 100 illustrating data flow interaction between various entities for a knowledge-based form creation platform. A form creator (e.g., a user of the system) 101, the user device(s) 102 of the form creator, a remote knowledge cloud server 110, a respondent device 120, a respondent of the created form 130, and/or other entities may interact with a communication network. The communication network may include any of a cellular network, a cable network, wireless local area network (LAN), near-field connections, Bluetooth network, and/or the like. The user device 102 or respondent device 120 may each include a variety of devices such as a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a Smartphone, a smart wearable device, and/or the like.

A form creator 101 may submit a question by typing the text for the question 111 to the user device 102, which may in turn query (e.g., 112) a local database for locally stored knowledge relating to the question. The knowledge may include a knowledge graph with information relating to the user such as the user's profile information, interests, and/or the like, personal knowledge based on the user's web history, email, calendar events, location, location contacts and/or the like. The knowledge may further include association between previously created questions, previous approval or disapproval from the user relating to a similar question creation, and/or the like. The knowledge may also comprise information relating to user reviews, ratings to products or events, public event calendars, historical information of user web activities, social media activities, and/or the like of a large set of Internet users, or from a public remote storage server(s). The knowledge may be used to generate a format relating to the question, answer options or a suggested answer to the question and/or the like. The user of knowledge to generate answer fields is further discussed in FIG. 2A-B.

The user device 102 may also optionally send a query 113 for knowledge to a remote knowledge cloud server 110, which may in turn return related personal knowledge 114 to the user device. Related knowledge 114 may include but is not limited to browsing history, social media posting history, data analytics from various data sources, and/or the like.

The created form 115 from the user device 102 may be directly or indirectly provided to a respondent 130 via the respondent device 120. The respondent answer to the question 116 may be optionally stored at the knowledge cloud 110, which may be used to generate heuristics data for creation. For example, the respondent's answer to a question may be used to generate suggested answers to a similar question.

FIG. 2A-2B provide example logic flow diagrams illustrating example work flows for automatic form creation based on knowledge data. Starting at 201, the form creator may initiate a form creation component, e.g., a browser-based application, or a mobile application at a computing device such as a desktop computer, a workstation, a mobile device, and/or the like. A form creation page may be presented to a user (e.g., the form creator) at 202, and then a question may be entered into the form creation component by the user typing in the question text at 203. The form creation component may analyze the question text to obtain a key term from the text of the question 204. For example, a key term such as “name,” “email address,” “favorite,” etc., may be used by the form creation component to determine an answer field format at 206. The form creation component may determine a type of the question e.g., by querying a database at 205. For example, when the question contains the key term “name,” a relevant answer field format may be a plain text field. Or when the question contains the key term “date of birth,” a relevant answer field may include a formatted field such as “_/_/_ (mm/dd/yy)” or other date related format. Or alternatively, when the question contains the key term “date of birth,” the question type may be related to an answer field that includes a drop-down list such that the respondent can select the month, date and year.

At 207, the form creation application may also obtain further information from a knowledge cloud based on the key term, and then populate the related information as option items or suggested answers in the answer field at 208. For example, when the question contains key terms such as “favorite,” “movie,” the form creation application may obtain a list of movie names from a knowledge graph in the cloud and display the movie names as multiple choice options. For another example, when the question contains key terms such as “favorite,” “election,” the form creator's location may be used to query in cloud what election is associated with the location at the time, and a list of candidates can be generated as multiple choice options. In another example, as shown in FIG. 1, the respondent's answer to the question (e.g., 116) may be sent to the knowledge cloud and may be used for multiple choice options. For example, for a question “when was the Bastille prison in Paris occupied?”, incorrect answers (e.g., 1890, 1832, 1833, etc.) that are previously submitted by various respondents can be used as multiple choice options.

At 209, an answer field (with multiple choice options or suggested answers in a text field, etc.) may be automatically created, without manually specifying an answer field format or manually typing in multiple choice option or suggested answers. However, if the form creator would like to manually change the automatically generated answer field, the form creator can approve or disapprove the automatically generated field. Such approval or disapproval decision message may be received by the form creation application at 210, which may generate heuristics data indicative of a user's preference in form creation at 211. The heuristics data may be stored locally or in a remote knowledge cloud to revise the answer field creation rules at 212.

The user approval or disapproval of automatically created form question and answer fields discussed in connection with steps 209-212 in FIG. 2B can be illustrated in the UI diagram in FIG. 3. For example, when the question contains key terms such as “date of birth,” (e.g., see 301), an automatic answer including a drop-down list 302 to allow a respondent to select the month, date and year can be created. The form creator can select an “edit” button 303 to disapprove and change the automatically created answer field. If, the form creator manually selects an answer field at 305 that includes a formatted text field such as “_/_/_ (mm/dd/yyyy)” 306, the form creation application may generate a heuristics rule based on the user's preference to use such a formatted text field for questions relating to a date. Then, for the same form, or for a subsequent form, when the form creator submits another question such as “when is your start date at the current employer?” the form creation application may automatically create a formatted text field as the form creator previously selected, such as “_/_/_ (mm/dd/yyyy),” instead of a drop-down list.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating an exemplary computer system 400 with which the system for a knowledge-based form creation and use of FIGS. 1-3 can be implemented. In certain aspects, the computer system 400 may be implemented using hardware or a combination of software and hardware, either in a dedicated server, or integrated into another entity, or distributed across multiple entities.

The machine-readable storage medium can be a machine-readable storage device, a machine-readable storage substrate, a memory device, a composition of matter effecting a machine-readable propagated signal, or a combination of one or more of them.

While this specification contains many specifics, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of what may be claimed, but rather as descriptions of particular implementations of the subject matter. Certain features that are described in this specification in the context of separate implementations can also be implemented in combination in a single implementation. Conversely, various features that are described in the context of a single implementation can also be implemented in multiple implementations separately or in any suitable subcombination. Moreover, although features may be described above as acting in certain combinations and even initially claimed as such, one or more features from a claimed combination can in some cases be excised from the combination, and the claimed combination may be directed to a subcombination or variation of a subcombination.

While operations are depicted in the drawings in a particular order, this should not be understood as requiring that such operations be performed in the particular order shown or in sequential order, or that all illustrated operations be performed, to achieve desirable results. In certain circumstances, multitasking and parallel processing may be advantageous. Moreover, the separation of various system components in the aspects described above should not be understood as requiring such separation in all aspects, and it should be understood that the described program components and systems can generally be integrated together in a single software product or packaged into multiple software products.

The subject matter of this specification has been described in terms of particular aspects, but other aspects can be implemented and are within the scope of the following claims. For example, the actions recited in the claims can be performed in a different order and still achieve desirable results.
