Patent number: 9367773Abstract: A system for printing a document that includes one or more target fonts that are emulated with at least one substitute font in a manner that preserves the original pagination and line breaks of the document. A table is provided that lists strategies/logic for enabling the printing device to emulate each of a plurality of predetermined target fonts with a substitute font. These emulation strategies may include but are not limited to, identifying at least one of a resident font for the printing device, stretchable font, local font, downloadable font, font data provided by a 3rd party, or font data that is embedded in a received document. Target font metrics may be employed as “hints” to refine emulation information for the target font data.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2015Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: CSR Imaging US, LPInventor: Elliott Bradshaw

Patent number: 8953182Abstract: A system for printing a document when it includes one or more target fonts that are emulated with at least one substitute font suitable for printing on a printing device. The substitute font appears visually similar to the target font, substantially preserves the original pagination and line breaks of the provided document, and the printing device is capable of printing the substitute font. A table is provided that lists strategies/logic for enabling the printing device to emulate each of a plurality of predetermined target fonts with a substitute font. These emulation strategies may include but are not limited to, identifying at least one of a resident font for the printing device, stretchable font, local font, or downloadable font to be substituted for the non-resident target font in the provided document.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2011Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: CSR Imaging US, LPInventors: Elliott Bradshaw, Zoltan Gidofalvi, Peter Willey

Patent number: 8248637Abstract: A system and method by which to implement revenue sharing between printer vendors and network service providers or operators. In one example, a method for providing printing access to a mobile device may include acts of requesting information from a printer, receiving the information at a mobile device, providing the information to a communications subsystem of a mobile network operator, based on the information, acquiring a printing capability of the printer, sending the printing capability from the communications subsystem to the mobile device, and upon receipt of the printing capability, if the printing capability is enabled, sending a print request from the mobile device to the printer. A corresponding apparatus may be used to implement the method, which may be provided as instructions encoded on a computer readable medium.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2007Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: CSR Technology Inc.Inventors: Simon Dolan, Elliott Bradshaw

Patent number: 7430586Abstract: A method and system for accessing data by an application program is disclosed. The application program issues a data request to a data storage system. In response, the data storage system loads into memory a data node corresponding to the data request. The data node is stored as part of a data structure. The data storage system returns a reference to the application program, which is then used to access the node. The application program may further instruct the data storage system to de-allocate a node when available memory is low or when it is no longer using the node.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2002Date of Patent: September 30, 2008Assignee: Zoran CorporationInventors: Elliott Bradshaw, Geoffrey Dreher
