Systems and methods for processing privacy requests related to information privacy are described. A server computing system may be configured to receive data related to a privacy request for personal information associated with a person, the data related to the privacy request sent by an agent of the person to a company from a computer system associated with the agent, the agent acting on behalf of the person as related to the information privacy, the personal information stored in one or more databases associated with the server computing system; confirm that the person authorizes the agent to act on behalf of the person as related to the information privacy; and based on successful confirmation that the person authorizes the agent, process the privacy request on behalf of the company.

Methods and systems for processing agency-initiated privacy requests

Systems and methods for discovering data related to information privacy are described. A server computing system may receive data from a first computing system, the first computing system verified to store personal information of customers of an entity. The server computing system may associate a second computing system with the entity based on the data from the first computing system referencing the second computing system. The server computing system may generate a live data map for the entity, the live data map configured to include at least information about whether the first computing system and the second computing system store the personal information of the customers of the entity, the live data map used to search for the personal information in response to personal information verification requests received by the entity.

Data discovery and generation of live data map for information privacy

Systems and methods for verifying requests for personal information are described. A server computing system may receive a request for personal information associated with a requester, the request sent based on a government regulation related to consumer privacy rights, the request including a first identifier provided by the requester, the personal information stored in one or more databases based on one or more past transactions engaged between the requester and an entity associated with the one or more databases. The server computing system may search the one or more databases using the first identifier to identify a second identifier related to the first identifier, the second identifier stored in the one or more databases by the entity based on the one or more past transactions. The server computing system may verify identity of the requester using at least the second identifier. Based on successfully verifying the identity of the requester, the server computing system may generate a notification indicating that the request for the personal information is accepted.

Disclosed herein is a method of extracting keywords from a document based on certain statistical, positional and natural language data, as well as relationship maps between the keywords. Under this method, document data are processed to obtain an NLP result for each sentence of the document, and based on the NLP result, words in the document are filtered and grouped into terms; a frequency analysis as well as a co-occurrence analysis are performed over the terms to output one or more keywords representing the document.

Keyword extraction for relationship maps

A method and related apparatus for managing files for producing a compilation of works, including the step of obtaining a complete file of a work to be compiled in the compilation of works, selecting a portion of the complete file as a separate excerpt file to be compiled in the compilation of works, and independently managing the complete file and the excerpt file for producing the compilation of works.

Method and related apparatus for generating online and printing on-demand compilation of works with excerpts handling features

A method and related computer program product for customizing price-related options for printing a compilation of works, including the steps of: compiling the compilation of works; setting different options for customers to print the compilation of works with different prices; and allowing a customer to change one or more of the options to print the compilation of works with a price based on the customer's needs and budget.

Method and related apparatus for generating online and printing on-demand compilation of works with customer selectable printing options

A method for automating the management and interpretation of digital documents and their rights metadata to generate user access of a document protected by digital rights management (DRM), comprising the steps of a server obtaining a digital document and its associated rights metadata, the server interpreting the metadata to ascertain DRM useful information including identifications (IDs) of the document and its users and associated digital rights, and the server generating entries for a DRM database including policies associated with the document ID and users IDs based on the ascertained DRM useful information to enable DRM protection to the document.

Method for automating the management and interpretation of digital documents and their owners rights metadata for generating digital rights management protected contents

Method and system for processing a page-image based input document such as PDF and generate output documents, in a page-image based format or another format, which have a different layout than the original document. Certain contents in the original document removed and other contents are reorganized in this process. The method is used to re-target documents for different types of display devices, such as desktop and laptop computers, tablet computers, e-readers, smart phones, etc. When generating the output documents, the method takes into consideration the different form factors of the display devices as well as the different types of user input devices and methods such as touch screen (including different gestures used, whether stylus or finger is used for input, etc.), physical keyboard, mouse, etc. used by the targeted display device, so that each output documents is optimized for a particular type of display device.

Processing of page-image based document to generate a re-targeted document for different display devices which support different types of user input methods

A method and system for managing print job through a process carried out by an online web-store server. The process includes the steps of receiving a print job order by a web-store server, and checking a remote cache via a network to determine whether a PDF file is stored therein. If the matching PDF file does not exist, then the server generates a new PDF file containing the sequence of articles and transmits the new PDF file to the print server, and saves the new PDF file in the remote cache. If the matching PDF exists, then the stored PDF is retrieved from the remote cache, and the print server uses the retrieved PDF file to print the print job without the web-store server creating the new PDF file or transmitting the new PDF file to the print server.

Method and system for managing print on demand jobs with remote cache

A system and program implement a process for allowing users of third party vendors to access print shop applications without separate authentication. The process includes the steps of creating a query-string having identification information of a third party vendor and authentication information of a user of the third party vendor. The query-string is created in response to the user's access to the third party vendor's web-site, and is contained in an inline frame and encrypted. Upon receiving the encrypted query-string sent from a third party vendor server to a print shop server, the query-string is decrypted. It is then determined whether the user has an existing account on the print shop server. If the user has an existing account, the user is automatically logged into the print shop server so that the user may access and use any print-on-demand applications on the print shop server without manually inputting user authentication information on the print shop server.
