  • DOCUMENT SEPARATION BY DOCUMENT SEQUENCE RECONSTRUCTION BASED ON INFORMATION CAPTURE
    Publication number: 20120127540
    Abstract: A system and method for generating separations between jobs in a batch of scanned pages are provided. The method includes, for each of a set of jobs, capturing an image of a representative page of the job. Thereafter, the method includes scanning the set of jobs as a batch to generate a set of scanned pages. The captured images are compared with scanned pages in the set of scanned pages to identify, for at least one captured image, a respective scanned page which matches the captured image. At least one separator is generated for separating the set of scanned pages based on a location of the matching scanned page(s).

  • Method and system for training classification and extraction engine in an imaging solution
    Patent number: 8175377
    Abstract: A method and system for automatically training a document imaging classification and extraction system that switches between a manual mode and an automatic mode based on constant monitoring. A specialized sub-system monitors and records a user interaction with the classification system during the initial manual mode and, in parallel, develops and tests a user configuration with respect to an automated processing engine. The system is capable of being shifted to the automatic mode if a desired acceptability threshold is attained and the document can then be processed automatically. Furthermore, a user can interact with the classification system if the automatic mode fails. Information concerning exception handling can be entered into a training database for continual refinement of the classification and extraction system.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRACKING THE BYPASS OF A PRINT GOVERNANCE POLICY
    Publication number: 20120092699
    Abstract: A device management system and method for tracking bypass of a print governance policy. A print control agent application can be configured with a set of predefined print governance policies in order to manage a rendering job activity. The print control agent application can pass, confirm and/or reject the rendering job based on the print governance policies. The rendering job activity that bypasses the print governance policies based on a policy violation approach can be tracked and measured utilizing a set of tracking algorithms in order to generate a tracked data. A bypass report can be visually generated based on the tracked data in order to analyze the policy violation and its frequency of occurrence thereby improving compliance with the rendering policies.
