Abstract

Abstract A system and method for validating data entry in which an exception set class is defined and where, during a validation process, each data entry field is reviewed to determined whether or not certain predetermined validation criteria are met. Where data entry does not meet validation criteria, an exception is added to the exception set class to identify the data entry field that contains data that does not meet the validation criteria. After all data entry fields have been reviewed, the exception set is thrown if it contains any exceptions. Based upon this exception set, the data entry fields will be re-presented (submitted) to the user for correction/revision of the data to meet the validation criteria.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 155 words
A method of validating data submitted to a database application comprising the steps of: receiving data input in response to a query presented to a user; comparing said data with a predetermined validation criteria; adding a criteria exception rule to an exception set where said data fails to meet said predetermined validation criteria, said exception identifies a data field of said data input which does not meet said validation criteria; comparing said data to a validation rule; adding an exception rule to said exception set; presenting said exception set to a user for review; accepting a corrected data input from said user; comparing said corrected data input with said predetermined validation criteria; comparing said corrected data input with said validation rule; adding said criteria exception when said corrected data input fails to compare with said predetermined validation criteria; and adding said rule exception when said corrected data input fails to compare with said validation rule.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 155 words
A method of validating data submitted to a database application comprising the steps of: receiving data input in response to a query presented to a user; comparing said data with a predetermined validation criteria; adding a criteria exception rule to an exception set where said data fails to meet said predetermined validation criteria, said exception identifies a data field of said data input which does not meet said validation criteria; comparing said data to a validation rule; adding an exception rule to said exception set; presenting said exception set to a user for review; accepting a corrected data input from said user; comparing said corrected data input with said predetermined validation criteria; comparing said corrected data input with said validation rule; adding said criteria exception when said corrected data input fails to compare with said predetermined validation criteria; and adding said rule exception when said corrected data input fails to compare with said validation rule.
Claim 3
Independent Claim 96 words
A method of validating data submitted to a database application comprising the steps of: receiving data input in response to a query presented to a user; comparing said data with a predetermined validation criteria; adding a criteria exception rule to an exception set where said data fails to meet said predetermined validation criteria, said exception identifies a data field of said data input which does not meet said validation criteria; wherein said data input comprises a data field; and wherein said data field is associated with a throwable object where said data field cannot be validated.
Claim 4
Independent Claim 96 words
A method of validating data submitted to a database application comprising the steps of: receiving data input in response to a query presented to a user; comparing said data with a predetermined validation criteria; adding a criteria exception rule to an exception set where said data fails to meet said predetermined validation criteria, said exception identifies a data field of said data input which does not meet said validation criteria; wherein said data input comprises a data field; and wherein said data field is associated with a throwable object where said data field cannot be validated.
Claim 5
