Patent ID: 8296149

Claim:
A system for inputting graphical data into a graphical input field, the system comprising: a processor; a graphical input device for inputting the graphical data into the graphical input field; and a computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing the processor to implement a voice-form function that is actuated responsive to an initial presentation graphical data to the graphical input device, the graphical input field comprising a hidden input field to avoid contents of the graphical input field being altered inadvertently, wherein the actuating of the voice-form function comprises: actuating a first voice-form function for capturing an initial value corresponding to the graphical input field, the first voice-form function subsequently initiating a timing function for polling the graphical input field at a predefined interval to determine at least one subsequent value corresponding to the graphical input field in order to determine whether the input of graphical data into the graphical input field is complete; and actuating a second voice-form function based upon a final value corresponding to the graphical input field, the second voice-form function determining whether the final value corresponding to the graphical input field is contained within a predefined set of valid values, wherein a user is prompted to reenter a graphical data value to the graphical input device if the graphical data value inputted into the graphical input field is a graphical data value not contained in the predefined set of valid values.
