Abstract:
This disclosure is generally directed to identifying electronic forms using spatial information of elements presented on a website. Identifying a type of an electronic form may include identifying particular input elements associated with the form, determining a bounding region of the input element, expanding the bounding region, and determining any intersections of the expanded bounding region with one or more label elements proximate to the input element. Keywords of the label elements can be analyzed to increase or decrease a confidence level that an input element is associated with a particular input type. A bounding region can be dynamically sized based on a number of intersecting elements. An electronic form can be identified based on the identified input elements. In some instances, the electronic forms may assist a user in accessing or updating remotely stored personal information, including payment information, across one or more third party electronic sites.
