System and method for obtaining a structured address by geocoding unstructured address information

摘要

A system and machine-implemented method for populating an electronic form is provided. A command for pasting a string of unstructured data into one of several fields of a structured address form is detected. The string of unstructured data is geocoded to obtain a geolocation. The geolocation is reverse-geocoded to obtain structured address data. Each of the several fields of the structured address form is populated with a corresponding field from the structured address data.
