Patent number: 7136178Abstract: A system (10) for dynamically compiling a publication (6001) is presented including one or more publication agents (500) coupled to a plurality of content providers (50, 80) through a network. The publication agent(s) (500), responsive to receipt of a publication profile (641), selectively issue one or more requests for content from select content providers (50, 80) at a time(s) appropriate to the requested content. In this regard, the publication agents (500) function to improve the accuracy, timeliness and relevancy of the content comprising the generated publication (6001).Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2000Date of Patent: November 14, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Aloke Gupta, Pieter J. van Zee

Patent number: 7136177Abstract: A method for receiving information at a document delivery server from a producer to generate and/or update a publication profile, periodically acquiring content objects from one or more content providers based, at least in part, on the publication profile, and generating the publication utilizing one or more of the retrieved content objects. According to one implementation, the generated publication is a mock-up, which is presented to the producer to review and/or edit prior to final publication.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2000Date of Patent: November 14, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Shane A.

Patent number: 7065497Abstract: A document is operatively coupled to a printing device, either directly or through a network such as the Internet. A print schedule is stored that keeps track of when a document should be printed on the printing device. When the print schedule indicates the document should be printed, the document is automatically transmitted to the printing device without user intervention. The printing device automatically prints the document, again without user intervention. The document can be stored on a electronic device, such as a personal computer connected to the printing device, or can be stored on a document server accessible to the printing device through the Internet. A user profile is stored that contains information about the recipient of the document, such as name, email address, household income, and interests. This user profile is updated when a document is printed on the printing device.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1999Date of Patent: June 20, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Jon A Brewster, Kenneth W Crangle, Aloke Gupta, Robert M Miller, Edmund B Neumann, Michael L Roberts, Pieter J van Zee

Patent number: 7058685Abstract: The present invention provides a method, a computer-readable medium and a digital content delivery service system for sending and validating/auditing delivery of e-media. The method includes the steps of: obtaining/receiving e-media of a sender/user wherein the sender/user has indicated a requested type of delivery of the e-media to a client/receiving party, wherein the client is a software application; accessing an account of the sender/user to obtain sender/user information; sending the e-media to the client/receiving party; and receiving a validation/audit of the requested type of delivery upon receipt/consumption of the e-media by the client/receiving party.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2000Date of Patent: June 6, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Pieter J. van Zee, Aloke Gupta, Robert M. Miller

Patent number: 7038799Abstract: For documents to be delivered via an automatic delivery system, a client-server solution ensures that a requested document is delivered and printed for instances when the requested document cannot be published at the time of normal scheduled delivery or print schedule. This aspect is particularly useful when the server is experiencing peak loads or if some document components are not available at the time of the normal scheduled delivery.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2001Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Dana E. Laursen, Aloke Gupta

Patent number: 7038796Abstract: A method for printing one or more documents operatively coupled to a printing device is presented, the method comprising issuing a request to retrieve one or more documents from an associated one or more providers in response to an indication received from a user. Receiving the requested one or more documents in a print manager operatively coupled to the printing device, and printing the retrieved one or more documents from the printing module, without invoking an application associated with the one or more documents, or otherwise displaying the one or more documents to the user.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2000Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Aloke Gupta, Donald X Smith, II, Kenneth H Bronstein, Pieter J van Zee

Patent number: 6980311Abstract: A document delivery system retrieves a periodically changing document. First, an address for the document is obtained. Next a temporal field is located within the address. The temporal field of the address is then modified to reflect a new instance. Then using the modified address, an updated document is retrieved.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2000Date of Patent: December 27, 2005Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Kevin G. Currans, Aloke Gupta

Publication number: 20030011632Abstract: A system, method, and/or computer readable medium, allows a user to interactively indicate content preferences. An interactive representation of at least of a portion of a document is displayed, such as on a display device. The interactive representation may have a layout substantially the same as a resulting document that would be displayed or printed. The interactive representation includes one or more content areas associated with content item preferences and/or rules for selecting content items to populate the content areas. When a new selection for a content area is made, the interactive representation is automatically updated. Thus, according to an embodiment, the user's view during the interactive process is substantially similar to that of the final document to be produced.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2001Publication date: January 16, 2003Inventors: Aloke Gupta, Donald X.
