  • Patent number: 8009307
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting interruptions that occur during the process of sending images of a set of source pages via facsimile transmission and determining that two separate transmissions are associated with each other. An initial fax transmission is received, and its interruption is automatically determined. The initial transmission is automatically matched with a subsequent transmission. A method for receiving one or more documents transmitted from a user via facsimile transmission which identifies and corrects an error in the document(s) received includes receiving one or more document via facsimile transmission and identifying the existence of any of a predetermined set of errors in the transmission. The identified errors are corrected through subsequent transmissions and/or manual user intervention in response to a logical set of predetermined options.

  • Patent number: 7146367
    Abstract: A system for managing data items at an electronic data repository with respect to a plurality of parties includes an electronic data repository and a computer processor programmed to receive data items from parties remote from the repository and from each other. The program stores the received data items in the repository. It provides each remote party access only to those data items within one or more data item sets corresponding to the remote party. The program prohibits any remote party from modifying any data item in the repository, and from deleting any data item from the repository, while the data item is part of a data item set of another remote party. A first remote party may access data items in a set corresponding to a second remote party, responsively to the second remote party.
