Patent ID: 8126928

Claim:
A method for merging data into documents comprising: generating, by a backend computer, a first graphic user interface for a first user of the backend computer to access a frontend application on a frontend computer, the frontend application having a second graphic user interface visible to a second user through the frontend computer; setting, by a first application running on the backend computer, the second graphic user interface to be invisible to the second user while the frontend application is running on the frontend computer; controlling, by a backend application running on the backend computer, a data merge process of the frontend application to create multiple new documents within the frontend application by populating fields of a document template with merging data, while the second graphic user interface of the frontend application remains invisible to the second user to prevent the new documents from being visible to the second user during the data merge process; generating a first list identifying all opened documents on the frontend computer before the data merge process and a second list identifying all opened documents on the frontend computer after the data merge process; identifying the new documents by comparing the first list and the second list; and storing the identified documents.
