Patent number: 8209691Abstract: Systems and techniques for distributing items for processing include receiving a request for a batch of items to be processed and determining whether a number of available items exceeds a first predetermined threshold. A batch of the available items is sent in response to the request if the number of available items exceeds the first predetermined threshold. However, if the number of available items does not exceed the first predetermined threshold, a determination is made as to whether a time period associated with the available items exceeds a second predetermined threshold. If so, a batch of the available items is sent.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2010Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.Inventor: Steven Paul Lauer
