  • Publication number: 20060279769
    Abstract: A system for generating a document at a print system under the control of a remote client comprises a document image template, a print command object, and a print control executable. The document template comprising a document image and a plurality of data fields. The print command object receives a content message which comprises a plurality of data elements. The print command object creates a binary object representing a print command file. The print command file includes data and print system commands representing the document image template with the data fields populated with data elements from the content message. The binary object is provided to the remote client. The print control executable, operating on the remote client, receives the binary object into volatile memory send passes the print command file to the print system for document generation.

  • Publication number: 20060279772
    Abstract: A system for generating a document at a remote printer includes a print services server, an application server, and a print control executable. The print services server stores a plurality of binary objects each in association with a unique identifier. Each binary object includes a print formatted object representing a document set. The application server: i) establishes a transport session with a browser of a remote client; ii) provides a listing of a plurality of document sets to the remote client; iii) obtains identification of a selected one of the plurality of document sets; and iv) generates a return object instruction message to the print services sever. The return object instruction message including an identification number which corresponds to the unique identifier associated with the binary object that includes the print formatted object representing the selected one of the plurality of document sets. The print services server receives the return object instruction and provides a response.

  • Publication number: 20060279771
    Abstract: A system for interfacing with an application server and generating a print command file for secure download and printing of a document at a remote client comprises image template storage, binary object storage, a print command object, and a return object. A plurality of document templates are stored in the image template storage. Each document template comprises a document pattern and a plurality of data fields. The print command object: i) receives a content message from the application server, the content message comprising a plurality of data elements; ii) creates a print command file which includes data and print system commands representing a document image template with its data fields populated with data elements from the content message; iii) stores a representation of the print command file, in conjunction with a unique identification number, in the binary object storage; and iv) returns the unique identification number to the application server.

  • Publication number: 20030167229
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an electronic bill presentment and payment system consistent with the invention comprises at least one biller system and at least one payor system in communication with a payment processing system. The payment processing system comprises a database including global information relating to the biller system and the payor system, and an application server for storing at least one modular business object containing specified instructions to govern financial transactions between the biller system and the payor system based on the global information. The application server permits replacement of a business object with another modular business object containing other specified instructions using the same global information.
