Systems and methods automate data entry and processing. Data is automatically entered into a system by reading a user identification card. The data can be supplemented with additional information, if necessary, and processed by the system. In one embodiment, the data is used to register an employee for an employee benefit program offered by a provider such as an insurance carrier. The data read from the identification card is automatically entered into an electronic enrollment form where the user can check it. Documentation corresponding to the enrollment form can be converted to an electronic copy, if necessary, and attached to the enrollment form. Once the enrollment form is complete, the user can electronically sign the enrollment form and send it through a computer network to the provider. The provider may then process the enrollment form, request additional information or corrections from the user, and register the user for the products or services.

A loan origination system interface module for processing loan applications from a user through a lender web site is described. The loan originator accesses a lender web site to perform loan processing procedures. The module is included on the lender's web page through a standard object reference in HTML specification. The module contains information unique to that lender, and the lender's identification number as well as desired data format. Once the loan originator decides to transfer a loan application or supplemental data to the lender, the module examines the loan origination software pipeline and presents a selection of loan products to the user. Once the user makes a selection, the module extracts loan information stored in the loan origination software by conducting a search for each required data field, relates that data to the specific field in the vendor application format, and packages the data in a format acceptable to the lender. The module then finds the appropriate route to deliver the loan data to the lender, either directly through a standard Internet secure communication protocol, or indirectly through a separate server computer. The user can then continue the transaction on the lender's web site in an uninterrupted work flow. Loan processing occurs on the lender's web site, and the interaction of the web site and loan origination software is handled by the module.

A video coding system that codes video objects as scalable video object layers. Data of each video object may be segregated into one or more layers. A base layer contains sufficient information to decode a basic representation of the video object. Enhancement layers contain supplementary data regarding the video object that, if decoded, enhance the basic representation obtained from the base layer. The present invention thus provides a coding scheme suitable for use with decoders of varying processing power. A simple decoder may decode only the base layer of video objects to obtain the basic representation. However, more powerful decoders may decode the base layer data of video objects and additional enhancement layer data to obtain improved decoded output. The coding scheme supports enhancement of both the spatial resolution and the temporal resolution of video objects.

The transmitter inserts headers in the channels used by the supplementary data to allow the receivers to identify the channel allocation between the primary source and the secondary source. Another part of the audio processing system is that of a receiver component which is capable of discriminating between data from the primary source and data from the secondary source. The primary source may comprise of audio signals from mono, stereo or surround sound music source, or voice signals such as that of a television channel while the supplementary data may comprise of advertisements, community information, public service information or even computer data.

A system and method enable automatic importation of data from an external data source into an electronic workspace in the form of a visual hierarchy. To display data from a data source, data is retrieved from the external data source, and a visual presentation format for the data is created based on characteristics of the data (e.g., the field to which the data is assigned in the data source, the type of data, the value of the data, etc), where the visual presentation format is hierarchical. The data is then displayed in an electronic workspace in the form of visual hierarchy that is accordance with such visual presentation format. In the electronic workspace, a user can manipulate and supplement the data without affecting the data source, unless there is a trigger event that causes modifications to the data to be written back to the data source. A further embodiment of the present invention enables modifications to the data in the workspace to be written back to the data source upon the occurrence of one or more select events. When such an event occurs, rules, which are essentially the inverse of the rules applied to create the visual presentation format, are used to convert the visual presentation format back to the data source format. The modified data is then written back to the data source.
