    摘要: An asynchronous two-dimensional limiting cost recovery system includes an expense activity sent from a client computer to a server computer. The extracted data is sent to a central message queue, where the client computer reads the data and graphically notifies the user of unbilled expense activity. An administrator defines a quota which determines how many unbilled expense activities can exist for a given user before a mandatory billing interface is displayed regardless of how much time it took to complete those activities, or defines a maximum time duration which determines how much time a user is given before a mandatory billing interface is displayed regardless of how many expense activities were completed, or both, whichever occurs first. A “snooze” option works in conjunction with the quota and maximum time duration limitations.

    摘要: The disclosed print tracking software takes the process of asynchronous print analysis currently available in the prior art in which the final print tracking events, such as billing and enforcement, occur in a nonlinear, non-sequential or non-temporal fashion, and expands on this model by achieving similar non-linearity at the front-end analysis phase by re-arranging the timing in which the printing and print analysis takes place within the print software. A print stream extraction component places print stream data from a print job in a known cache location. The print job continues to a printer while independently a software monitor component checks for new cache data and if new cache data is found, invokes an analyzer component which writes print related statistics to a data store for subsequent billing and reporting purposes.

    摘要: An apparatus and a method of cost recovery in a computerized system performs the steps of initiating a job task at a first computer, extracting job statistics relating to the initiated job task from a server, storing the job statistics in a database queue, asynchronously communicating the stored job statistics from the database queue to a first computer of a first user to whom the job task is not to be allocated, controlling communication of the job statistics from the first computer of the first user dependent on a relationship of allocation of a second user to the job task, and processing the forwarded job statistics in the computerized system by the second user to create a bill or report. In this manner, computerized cost allocations and processing of job statistics are made by cooperative relationships and actions between multiple users.
