Abstract
A method and apparatus for automatically filling in electronic forms online with a user's personal data. A location identifier, such as a URL, of a form originating server and a form location on the server that corresponds to an online form is transmitted to a form filling server. A user identifier, such as one contained in a cookie, is also transmitted to the form filling server. The location identifier of the form originating server and the location of the form on the form filling server is decoded or parsed on the form filling server. This allows the form filling server to open a connection between the form filling server and the form originating server. The form originating server is then requested to provide the form filling server with the online form so that the form filling server has a similar view of the online form as the user does. The online form is then parsed on the form filling server to identify the fields in the form that can potentially be filled in with personal data associated with the user. The personal data associated with the user is then inserted into the fields of the online form on the form filling server. The personal data of the user is identified using the user identifier.
