  • Patent number: 8345279
    Abstract: Information stored in a corporate database is monitored and used to determine when certain business-related events have occurred. Event information is transmitted over the Internet to a print production facility, where it is used to fire one or more event rules, which in turn automatically generate print requisitions or print production orders. In one variation, print requisitions are routed through an existing and commercially available procurement system before a print production order is generated. The system can monitor and handle events from multiple corporations, each having its own business-related event rules, and each potentially having its own procurement approval system.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20030200251
    Abstract: A method for processing requests to service computational tasks. An application server system receives requests to run various jobs. A job indicates that a certain application program is to be executed with a certain set of input. The application server system includes a master computer and multiple slave computers. The master computer receives requests to run jobs, selects a slave computer to run each job, and then assigns each job to slave computer selected for that job. The master computer of the application server system receives the requests from client computers that may be connected to the application server system via the Internet. A client-side component of the application server system may execute on the client computers to assist users in submitting their requests.

  • Publication number: 20030098991
    Abstract: A system and process for preprocessing print production orders is described. A work order is received by a work order dispatcher and forwarded to a batching system. The batching system combines the work order with other work orders having similar characteristics. The combined work orders are output as a resultant plate. Also, batching may be performed to combine work orders for vendors. Through determination and evaluation of the various characteristics of the work orders, the batching process is automated, thereby minimizing the need to operator intervention.
