A system and method scan a document printed by a first document processing device (using a second document processing device separate from the first document processing device). The document has printed thereon machine readable markings that comprise information of a patient, information of at least one lab test to be performed, and formatting information for the return of the lab test results. The second document processing device identifies the lab test to be performed on the patient based on the machine readable markings. After the lab tests have been performed on the patient, the second document processing device prepares the lab test results by formatting them. These formatted lab test results are then output from the second document processing device to the first document processing device.

Systems and methods are described that facilitate capturing promotional information details such as the number of promotional material items printed for a given vendor supported by a marketing agency, item size, placement details, price, and authentication information to prove that a print log or summary is genuine. The authentication information can include a timestamp, printer identity, job identity and run-length. This information is summarized in a message digest and is signed by the printing system using digital signatures, which are then verified by the marketing agency through a public key counterpart of a private key used to generate the signatures.

Document fragments are managed by the use of fragment objects. Fragment objects contain a reference to a portion of a source document. Source document deletion is controlled by storing the references to the source document by fragment objects so that no fragment object has a reference to a non-existent source document. A process for organizing document fragments within a document management system wherein source documents comprise duplicates of the document fragments includes replacing a duplicate fragment with a reference to a single fragment object the fragment object including a reference to a fragment of a source document and an object class method for deletion of the fragment object including instructions to remove the reference to the fragment object from the metadata of the source document to which the fragment object refers.

A method and a system for evaluating identification of a user based on behavioral patterns and time patterns, including an analysis component for analyzing data; an authentication component for authenticating the analyzed data; and a behavioral biometric device for collecting behavioral biometric data related to the user, the authentication component and the analysis component operably connected at least with the behavioral biometric device; wherein the behavioral biometric data is matched against previously obtained or expected behavioral biometric data stored in a first database component of the analysis component in order to progressively, continuously, and incrementally evaluate the identification of the user to determine a confidence factor.

Method and system for providing authentication through aggregate analysis of behavioral and time patterns

A method determines structures and features of an original document to make style decisions. The extensible markup language of the original document is analyzed to produce instance mapping. The document type definitions of the original document are analyzed to produce document type definitions mapping. Lastly, the instance schema of the original document is analyzed to produce schema mapping. A transform is generated from the produced instance mapping, document type definitions mapping, and schema mapping. The transform is applied to the original document to generate an instance in an intermediate format. A stylesheet is selected and applied to the intermediate format to produce a styled document.

Method for transformation of an extensible markup language vocabulary to a generic document structure format

A method for printing a composite document creates a fixed data unit for a composite document, the fixed data unit being a portion of an individual document which is consistent in each individual document within the composite document. A variable data unit is created for each individual document to be represented by the composite document, a variable data unit being a portion of the individual document which is unique to that individual document. The data within each created variable data unit is analyzed to determine a set of rights for each created variable data unit, and the determined set of rights are embedded into the appropriated created variable data unit. A composite document is created by bundling the fixed data unit with the embedded variable data units and submitted for printing. A plurality of individual documents for printing is created, each individual document being a merger of the fixed data unit with an embedded variable data unit wherein each individual document is printed based upon the set of rights embedded in the corresponding variable data unit.

A method and system for designing file replication schemes in file sharing systems consider node storage constraints and node up/down statistics, file storage costs, and file transfer costs among the nodes, user request rates for the files, and user specified file availability requirements. Based on these considerations, a systematic method for designing file replication schemes can be implemented. The method first determines the number of copies of the files to be stored in the system to achieve the desired goal (e.g., to satisfy file availability requirements, or to maximize the system hit rate), and then selects the nodes at which to store the file copies to minimize the total expected cost. The file replication scheme for a peer-to-peer file sharing system in a distributed and adaptive manner can scale to a large number of nodes and files and can handle changes in the user request pattern over time.

An extensible markup language document processing engine performs arbitrary processing on extensible markup language documents. The processing sequence of the extensible markup language document processing engine is not fixed, but rather can depend upon the information submitted with the job and upon determinations and analysis during the actual job processing. The extensible markup language document processing engine can also segment the document processing so that different fragments of the document are handled differently, thereby providing parallel processing capabilities. Moreover, the extensible markup language document processing engine can segment the document processing so that different fragments of the document are handled differently so that not all processing is blocked when a fragment requires a slow action, such as retrieval of information from the web.

A system and method for constructing a document redundancy graph with respect to a document set. The redundancy graph can be constructed with a node for each paragraph associated with the document set such that each node in the redundancy graph represents a unique cluster of information. The nodes can be linked in an order with respect to the information provided in the document set and bundles of redundant information from the document set can be mapped to individual nodes. A data structure (e.g., a hash table) of a paragraph identifier associated with a probability value can be constructed for eliminating inconsistencies with respect to node redundancy. Additionally, a sequence of unique nodes can also be integrated into the graph construction process. The nodes can be connected to the paragraphs associated with the document set via a hyperlink and/or via a label with respect to each node.

Document fragments are managed by the use of fragment objects. Fragment objects contain a reference to a portion of a source document. Referencing documents contain a reference to a fragment object which delivers the content of the fragment of the source document to the referencing document. The source document can be directly updated through updating the fragment of the source document contained in the referencing document via the use of the fragment object. Source document deletion is controlled by storing the references to the source document by fragment objects so that no fragment object has a reference to a non-existent source document. A process for organizing document fragments within a document management system wherein source documents comprise duplicates of the document fragments includes replacing a duplicate fragment with a reference to a single fragment object the fragment object including a reference to a fragment of a source document and an object class method for deletion of the fragment object including instructions to remove the reference to the fragment object from the metadata of the source document to which the fragment object refers.

Methods and systems for multi-document aggregation provide data representing a redundancy graph constructed from a document or document set and determine the longest acyclic path in the document redundancy graph. Nodes of the longest path are assigned to a column to be displayed. Each node is assigned to a corresponding position in the column according to the node position in the path. Methods and systems for ordering multi documents for presentation can determine the content of a node of the redundancy graph and order the content for display.
