Appeal 2007-2167
Application 09/991,752
5. Alternatively, Gupta ‘079 discloses using a wrapper, a program
which fills in and submits forms in order to accumulate information from
web sites and to complete a purchase transaction using the data obtained
from the User Meta-database 170 and User Selection database 180 (col. 8, ll.
56-61).
6. Gupta’s wrapper program is constructed for each vendor to
capture the logic for the forms that need to be filled to consummate a
purchase while a second wrapper program is constructed for each site to
perform information -gathering (col. 9, ll. 1-5). Additionally, the
transaction-wrapper is disclosed that exercises different parts and different
functionality of the site than the information-gathering wrapper. Any site
can have multiple wrappers built for it, each of which gets different
information or performs a different function (col. 9, ll. 5-9).
7. Gupta’s wrapper is further described in the other applied
reference, Gupta ‘258, which is also incorporated by reference in Gupta ‘079
(col. 9, ll. 9-15).
8. Gupta ‘258 discloses a wrapper to extract information and to
provide structured information in the form of structured high-level user
queries which are processed across the disparate semistructured resources
using a plurality of wrappers each dedicated to a particular resource
(Abstract).
9. Gupta ‘258 further defines a wrapper (or site program) as a
software layer that provides a relational database interface to information on
a site (col. 3, ll. 33-34).
