Abstract: The subject application is directed to a system and method for generating a customized workflow user interface. Predetermined graphical user interface elements are first stored in an associated data storage. The graphical user interface elements are then generated on an associated display. Each graphical user interface element is then associated with an abstraction interface. Selection data is then received corresponding to selected graphical user interface elements. User interface data is thereafter generated in accordance with the selection data and the associated abstraction interface. Workflow data is subsequently output representing document processing operations corresponding to the selected graphical user interface elements. Thereafter, the workflow data is communicated to an associated document processing device.

Abstract: The subject application is directed to a system and method for generating a composite source user interface. A text query corresponding to a text element associated with a graphical element on a display of the associated user interface is first received by a backend component. The received text query data is then directed to a data document on the associated data storage. Text data is then received from the data document of the associated data storage. Thereafter, the received text data is then communicated to the associated user interface so as to generate indicia on the associated user interface. Preferably, the indicia includes a graphical element and the text data, such as, for example and without limitation, an icon and associated text, or the like.

Abstract: The subject application is directed to a system and method for generating a dynamic composite source user interface. Text data is received into a data document stored in associated memory. Data representing each of a plurality of graphical elements that correspond to the received text data is then received. A visual indicator, corresponding to each of the graphical elements, is generated on an associated display. Selection data representing a selection of one of the graphical elements on the associated display is then received. Pointer data is then associated with the selected graphical element. The pointer data is further associated with the text data. Next, the selected graphical element is then displayed on the associated display in conjunction with the text data, as referenced by the pointer data.

Abstract: The subject application is directed to a system and method for generating location based content via a document processing device. Location data representing the location of the document processing device is first stored in an associated storage, along with data representing services associated with the document processing device. A user is first prompted, via an associated user-interface, to select a desired service, which is associated with a specific network service provider. The network address of each service provider is stored in the data storage in correlation with the service to which the provider is associated. The user then selects a desired service, whereupon the device generates a query including the device location data and submits the query to the service provider corresponding to the selected service. The device then receives a response from the service provider and outputs the response to the user.

Abstract: The subject application is directed to a system and method for the content retrieval and routing via a document processing device. The document processing device first receives output routing data from an associated user corresponding to a desired destination for retrieved content. The device then receives a content query from the user corresponding to desired content data available from an external source. The query is then routed to the external source and content data in response to the query is retrieved by the document processing device. The content data is then routed from the document processing device to the designated output destination. The document processing device then periodically monitors for changes to the content data at the external source and when any changes are detected, updated content data is retrieved and forwarded to the output destination.

Abstract: A system and method which efficiently manages the status of resources or services in a document processing system or device and uses a priority-based dynamic allocation process for allocating or releasing selected resources for a user or task. A job resource manager receives resource requests containing a resource name, quantity and order of use. The resource manager then determines if the request meets predetermined parameters, so as to lock the designated resource for use by the job with which the request is associated. The resource is then released for use by the job and remains inaccessible to other jobs until unlocked. The resource is unlocked by the job resource manager upon receipt of notification that the job has been completed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for securely exchanging information between remote computing systems such as electronic medical records in the local healthcare community, enabling interoperabilty and allowing for the synchronization of common information. Some embodiments provide for a type of software “middleware” that autonomously extracts, analyzes and transforms information from computer systems in one location and distributes it to remote location(s) to be further transformed and inserted into one or more remote computer systems. Other embodiments provide for remotely deploying and managing the software programs from a centralized management facility. Other embodiments provide for distributed, object-oriented computing systems that enable a plurality of independent, remotely located computers to interface with each other, extract or insert, format and exchange information with other computers using a secure messaging infrastructure.

Abstract: The subject invention is directed to a system and method for submitting a series of complementary queries to a selected database in order to retrieve data associated with such queries. The method begins by receiving parameter data representing at least one parameter, which defines a plurality of entries in an associated database. Query data is then generated from the parameter data. The query data is comprised of a series of complementary queries structured to aggregate so as to correspond to all possible entries associated with the parameter data. The query data is then communicated to an associated search engine coupled to query the associated database. Result data is then received from the associated search engine. The result data is comprised of a series of responses corresponding to each of the series of complementary queries. The result data is then communicated to an associated user.

Abstract: A scalable, two-stage round-robin arbiter with re-circulation and bounded latency for use in multi-threaded, multi-processing devices. An apparatus implementing the two-stage arbiter includes a plurality of masters configured in a plurality of clusters, a plurality of targets, and an chassis interconnect that may be controlled to selectively connects a given master to a given target. The chassis interconnect includes multiple sets of bus lines connected between the plurality of clusters and the plurality of targets forming a cross-bar interconnect, including sets of bus lines corresponding to a command bus. A two-stage arbitration scheme is employed to arbitrate access to the command bus. The first arbitration stage is used to arbitrate between command requests issued by masters in a given cluster. The second arbitration stage is used to arbitrate between winning first stage command requests. One embodiment of the arbitration scheme employs re-circulation of second stage losers.

Abstract: A mechanism that enables allocation and recovery of buffer resources in both burst access and single access modes of operation is presented.
