Abstract: A system and method are provided for processing a document. The method comprises: marking an area of a document, using at least one predetermined markup symbol; identifying a markup symbol; using the identified markup symbol to locate the document area; determining characters in the document area; and, processing the determined characters. Fields that can be processed include title, keywords, author, signature, document name, category, subject, or document status, to name but a few examples. In some aspects, marking an area of a document, using at least one predetermined markup symbol includes: electronically marking using a medium such as a touchscreen, pressure pad, or a mouse. Alternately, the paper document can be physically marked (with a pen or pencil) before scanning. Typically, marking an area of a document includes forming a markup character proximate to an enclosing figure. A wide range of markup characters can be defined cross-referenced to document processes.

Abstract: A stateless-object method is provided for executing instructions. The method: establishes a central repository of states, cross-referencing state locations in memory, to identifiers; calls a first method; accesses a stateless-object in response to the first method, the stateless-object including an identifier and a second method; reads the identifier; uses the identifier to cross-reference the stateless-object's state location in the repository; accesses the located state; and, instantiates the second method in response to accessing the state. The central repository of states may cross-reference a first state to a first identifier, and the step of accessing the stateless-object includes accessing a plurality of stateless-objects in response to the first method, with each of the stateless-objects including the first identifier.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention comprise systems, methods and devices for providing external accounting functions for a peripheral device.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for reporting errors in an object-oriented software architecture environment. The method comprises: an application calling an initial method; in response to the initial method call, at least one object encountering an error in response to a subsequent method call; accumulating error information; and, creating a user-defined accumulated error report. Generally, accumulating error information includes: calling an accumulated error reporting object; and, from the accumulated error report object, calling a method for adding received error information to accumulated error information. Then, creating the user-defined accumulated error report includes calling a method for creating an error report text message by: reviewing the accumulated error information; and, matching accumulated error information with user-selected error criteria.
