Abstract: A method, apparatus and article of manufacture for network access of partial document imagery is described. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a request for a region of a page of a document, the request being originated from a client, determining one or more objects in a source file that intersect the region of the page, the source file having two or more codestreams, and sending a response having a subset of the information in the file.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for analyzing risk associated with published logs are described. In one embodiment, the method comprises accessing a first log published to one or more logs. In one embodiment, the method may also comprise estimating a probability that an entry within the first log will not be verifiable from a second entry selected from one o the one or more logs.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for handling restricted access and server/client handoffs in a communication environment is described. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a first request for a first set of image data corresponding to an image, and responding to the first request with the first set of image data. The method may also include receiving a second request for a second set of image data corresponding to the image and determining that the second set of image data includes restricted data. A prompt for authentication may then be sent. The method may also include receiving the second request along with authentication information, determining again that the second request is for restricted data, and checking the authentication information. If the authentication information is correct, the method may also include providing the second set of image data.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing JPM files having layout objects and sideband information is described. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a JPM file having layout objects. The layout objects include at least one layout object that represents sideband image information for a purpose other than use in display of a decoded image. The method also includes creating the decoded image by accessing information in the JPM file corresponding to the layout objects and decoding the information. The sideband image information is not intended to be displayed with the decoded image and is absent from display of the decoded image.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transporting portions of a codestream over a communications mechanism is described. In one embodiment, the method comprises sending a request over a network and receiving tile-parts of a JPEG 2000 compliant codestream from the network as a return type as part of a response to the request.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transporting portions of document images across a network in response to one or more requests are described.
