| 20100214594 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY GENERATING A COPY OF A PRINT STREAM - A method and system for processing a print stream are provided. The methodology includes generating at least one copy of the print stream and transmitting a first copy of the at least one copy of the print stream to a sub-system of said computer system. The methodology further includes transmitting a second copy of the at least one copy of the print stream to a print driver and processing the second copy of the printer stream by the designated print driver. The methodology further includes transmitting the processed second copy to the at least one printer for generating a printout corresponding to the print stream. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100235305 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ON-DEMAND DOCUMENT PROCESSING - A document processing method includes receiving, at a server with a network interface, electronic documents from a user. The server includes a software application adapted to recognize a class of electronic documents to which the electronic documents belong. The method also includes processing the electronic documents received from the user to extract data therefrom based on a recognition that the electronic documents belong to the class of electronic documents. The extracted data corresponds to a service being provided to the user. The method also includes automatically mapping the extracted data from the processed electronic documents to a data repository on the server. The data repository is accessible by the user through the network interface. The method also includes electronically generating output data based on the mapped data from the data repository to the user. The output data corresponds to the service being provided to the user. | 09-16-2010 |
