    摘要: A system and method are provided for acquiring data in a computer system. The present system and method provide a distinct advantage in that a local printer/scanner (169) is employed to perform data acquisition to a central server (103) or other system, etc. In one embodiment, the present system includes a processor (143) circuit having a processor (143) and a memory (146). Stored on the processor (143) and executable by the memory (146) is scan/correction logic (183). The scan/correction logic (183) includes logic to obtain a set of coordinates (X, Y) of a response area (206) on a digital form (186) and logic to transmit the coordinates (X, Y) to a scanning apparatus (169) to scan a hardcopy form (203) at the coordinates (X, Y) to determine a response recorded thereon. The hardcopy form (203) is associated with the digital form (186). Finally, the scan/correction logic (183) includes logic to store the response received from the scanner/printer apparatus (169) in an answer file (189) in the memory (146).

    摘要: A plurality of data segments comprising portions of a file targeted for downloading are encapsulated 504 into a set of graphics files. A reference to the set of graphics files is incorporated 506 into a web page definition. During web page painting operations 606 associated with this web page definition, graphics files that encapsulate segments of the file targeted for downloading are downloaded 706 into a browser cache. Segment data is extracted 808, 932 from the graphics files to recreate the file targeted for downloading. Installation operations may be performed 810 in the event that the file targeted for downloading is an executable file.

    摘要: A consumable article (30) includes a consumable item (32) and a memory device (36). The memory device (36) is organized to represent currency. Use of the consumable item (32) causes the memory device (36) to be reorganized. The consumable article (30) is used in an apparatus (60) that has a control circuit (38) that can update the memory device (36) to modify the amount of currency when the apparatus (60) consumes the consumable item (32). The apparatus (60) optionally includes a network interface (16) coupled to the control circuit (38) that interfaces to a clearinghouse (26) for reconciling the amount of currency and use of the consumable item (32).

    摘要: A system for the transaction of transactional amounts when using merchantable content on a medium (26) includes a clearinghouse (44), an apparatus (40) having a medium handler (130), a merchantable content receiver (130), a medium identifier (134), a content identifier (136), a medium use mechanism (138), and a transmitter (142). The medium handler (130) accepts the medium (26) and the merchantable content receiver (132) accepts the merchantable content. The medium identifier (134) reads a first identifier from the medium (26). The content identifier (136) reads a second identifier from the merchantable content. The medium use mechanism (138) incorporates and uses the merchantable content with the medium (26). The transmitter (142) sends the first and second identifiers to the clearinghouse (44). The clearinghouse (44) has a first account (122) for a medium provider referenced by the first identifier and a second account (124) for the content provider referenced by the second identifier. The clearinghouse (44) further includes an account manager (120) for transferring a royalty amount from the first account to the second account when the first and second identifiers are received.
