Patent number: 9824204Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically signing a user on to an integration application when a user signs on to another application and signing a user off when the user signs off of the other application. The integration application automatically non-programmatically collects data from a mapped location of a mapped source reference of the other application. The collected data includes a user identifier value. The integration continuously monitors the collected user identifier value for a difference in the collected user identifier value. If the collected user identifier value is recognized by the integration application, the user is signed into the integration application using the collected user identifier value, and if a difference in the collected user identifier value is detected, the user is signed off of the integration application.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2015Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: KOFAX INTERNATIONAL SWITZERLAND SARLInventors: Randall Arms, Brian G. Anderson, Scott Coons

Patent number: 9081632Abstract: Methods and systems for collaborating when one or more other users view or access the same, similar, or otherwise data. The collaboration method includes automatically non-programmatically collecting application data from a first mapped location of a mapped source reference of an application used by a first user and automatically non-programmatically collecting application data from a second mapped location of a mapped source reference of an application used by a second user. The integration application determines whether the collected application data from the first mapped location matches the collected application data from the second mapped location, and if the first collected application data matches the second collected application data, that integration application automatically notifies at least one of the first user and second user. The match determination may occur when the users are simultaneously accessing the data or at different times.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2011Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: Lexmark International Technology SAInventors: Randall Arms, Brian G Anderson, Scott Coons

Patent number: 9081616Abstract: Systems and methods improve the equitable distribution the processing capacity of a computing device processing work items retrieved from multiple queues in a workflow system. A retrieval priority is determined for each of the plurality of queues and work items are retrieved from each of the multiple queues according to the retrieval priority. The retrieved work items are then stored in a central data structure. Multiple processing components process the work items stored in the central data structure. The number of processing components is selectively adjusted to maximize efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2009Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: Lexmark International Technology, SAInventors: Serhan Yengulalp, Steve R. Kinney, Brian G. Anderson, Scott T.R. Coons, David E. Kelley, Humayun H. Khan

Patent number: 8818100Abstract: Systems and methods analyze the physical structure of text rows in a document image, including the positions of one or more alignments of one or more character blocks in one or more text rows of the document image. The systems and methods determine one or more groups of text rows that are placed into a class based on the structures of the text rows, such as the positions of the one or more alignments of the one or more character blocks in each text row.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2010Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Lexmark International, Inc.Inventors: Jose Eduardo Bastos dos Santos, Brian G.

Patent number: 8559729Abstract: Systems and methods automatically generate a model of a form or other document and identify the form or other document. In one aspect, a system and method normalize an image of a document and identify the relative positions of vertical and horizontal lines in the normalized image. The relative positions of vertical and horizontal lines of the normalized image are the model of the document image. The model may be stored in a record, such as an array. The system and method compare the relative positions of vertical and horizontal lines of the model to the relative positions of vertical and horizontal lines of other models to identify a matching model.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2010Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Lexmark International, Inc.Inventors: Jose Eduardo Bastos dos Santos, Brian G.

Publication number: 20120102397Abstract: Integration applications and methods non-programmatically collect application data from a mapped source reference of an application. The integration application retrieves at least one of a document and a list of documents associated with the first collected application data for display on a user interface and monitors the collected application data from the mapped location for a difference with a subsequently collected application data. Upon detecting a difference, the integration application removes at least one of a document and the list of documents from the user interface. The integration application may automatically notify a user of the difference using a visual indicator or an audio signal. The integration application may modify the appearance of at least one of a document and the list of documents on a user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2011Publication date: April 26, 2012Inventors: RANDALL ARMS, Brian G.
