Abstract:
A system for document processing includes a user interface unit (108) and a command unit (110) having a context server (112), and an image I/O device interface (114a and 114b). The command unit is coupled to a conventional application server and an image capture and generation device for routing image data and commands to the application server for processing. The user interface unit accepts commands and displays information to a user. The user interface unit sends data to and receives data from the command unit. The command unit is responsive to the user interface device and initiates a task or process by setting a context and passing that context and data to the application server. The device interface is coupled to the context server and the image capture and generation device. The context server controls processing of the image data according to the context, and then generates a receipt image and sends it to the device interface for output to the image capture and generation device. The present invention also includes a method for performing an operation or task on a document comprising the steps of receiving a command identifying an operation or task, capturing an image, performing the operation or task identified in the command using the captured image as data, and generating and outputting a receipt.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for managing data in compliance with regulated privacy, security, and electronic transaction standards. One or more computer devices are used in a system to manage data in compliance with regulated privacy, security, and electronic transaction standards. The system includes a single point of entry for external and/or internal requests, and/or a single point of exit for transmissions of information, wherein the transmissions include individually identifiable patient information to legitimate patient-approved requests. Information is de-identified (184) so as to be selectively used and/or sold. The de-identification (184) prevents the identification of patients corresponding to the medical information, thus allowing the information to be useful while still preserving professional confidences. Moreover, digital authorizations and consents for retrieval from external data sources may be utilized (180). In one implementation, a fax machine is used to provide a transmission set to a computer system, which acknowledges receipt of the set and preserves the transmission set for a period of time to satisfy a regulation.

Abstract:
A client PC 12 is capable of creating a job which can be processed by an image forming apparatus 10 where the image forming apparatus 10 prints and outputs a page for main printing included in the job received from the client PC 12 according to the job. The client PC 12 includes a CPU 201 that receives an instruction for setting confirmation printing in the image forming apparatus 10 so that a confirmation page is printed in addition to the page for main printing and output to a destination different from that of the page for main printing, and carries out the received instruction on each of the jobs; and an NC 212 that sends the job with settings for the confirmation printing provided to the image forming apparatus 10.
Abstract:
A PC registers in advance PC-assistant copying functions which can be provided by the printer driver for a MFP. The MFP presents, to the user, copying functions including the registered functions. Upon reception of a copy instruction, the MFP determines whether selected functions include a PC-assisted copying function. If the selected functions include a PC-assisted copying function, the MFP transmits, to the PC, scanned image data and a job ticket containing information representing the selected functions. Upon reception of the job ticket, the PC generates a print job for printing the image data on the basis of the job ticket, and transmits the print job to the MFP.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method applicable to several types of equipment: printer, fax machine, telework terminals, combining a printing mechanism using magnetic ink and magnetising mechanisms with magnetic re-reading so as to send back to the control member the signals of said magnetic re-reading simultaneous with the printing for control, and for sending acknowledgements, and for obtaining documents capable of being authenticated by magnetic ink re-reading.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is offered of certifying delivery of a facsimile transmission. The method includes the steps of detecting a facsimile transmission from an originating facsimile machine (10) to a destination facsimile machine (16). The method further includes the steps of receiving acknowledgement from the destination facsimile machine that a page of the facsimile transmission was received and certifying delivery of the page by outputting a copy of the page with indicia of delivery printed thereon.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting documents via an electric signal transmission line from a transmitting station to a destination station is characterized in that the transmission station sends a label message with the document consisting of document content identification data in addition to the transmitter identification data. The destination station returns an acknowledgement message to the transmitter station which includes the destination identification data and the content identification data for the document received by the destination station. This invention may be used for the exchange of computerized documents.
Abstract:
According to an example, controlled content delivery may include analyzing a content forwarding rule associated with content based on metadata related to the content to determine whether to forward the content to a device. In response to a determination that the content is to be forwarded to the device, the content may be forwarded to the device for performing an action.
Abstract:
A method for operating a printer, the method comprising the steps of : accessing an electronic mail server having electronic mail messages stored therein for use by the printer; locating an electronic mail message having associated print source data; downloading the located electronic mail message and print source data from the electronic mail server to the printer, and processing the downloaded electronic mail message and print source data to obtain a printable digital asset that can be used fa generating a printed output.
