  • Patent number: 7475242
    Abstract: A source generates a request to receive a document. A determination is made regarding an authorization level associated with the source of the request. Another determination is made as to an authorization level required to view the requested document. If the source of the request is authorized to receive the requested document, the requested document is transmitted to the source of the request. If the source of the request is not authorized to receive the requested document, the unauthorized portions of the requested document are redacted and the redacted version of the requested document is transmitted to the source of the request.

  • Publication number: 20030145005
    Abstract: Methods for facilitating use of the global positioning system (GPS) by obtaining the GPS coordinates that correspond to a location and providing the coordinates to GPS device are disclosed. An illustrative method includes the steps of coupling a client device to a network and to a GPS device, using the client device to access a database through the network, the database containing the GPS coordinates that correspond to a plurality of locations, obtaining from the database the GPS coordinates corresponding to at least one location, and providing the GPS coordinates corresponding to the at least one location to the GPS device. Illustrative methods are implemented via the web and via e-mail. Systems and computer-readable media also are provided.

  • Patent number: 6587972
    Abstract: The system and methods described herein relate to printing usage information for managed printing devices in a uniform manner on customized self-test pages and using the customized self-test pages for automatic data entry of the usage information. A formatting device accesses and formats usage information from a printing device and creates a print job containing the formatted usage information in a customized self-test page. Formatted usage information printed on a customized self-test page is readily scanned and optically recognized for automatic entry into an accounting system. Automatic entry of usage information reduces labor hours and costs associated with managing fleets of printing devices.

  • Patent number: 6031630
    Abstract: A method for undercolor removal (UCR) from a multi-color image represented by N color planes of non-black pixel image color values and replacement of removed undercolor by black values, includes the following steps. A corrected black color plane is obtained by replacing initial maximum black color values with black color values that are a Min function between the initial black color values and N-1 logically corresponding non-black pixel image color values. Page strip portions of the corrected black color plane are then revised so that each pixel black color value thereof is converted to a UCR value by deriving the Min function with logically corresponding, Nth color plane non-black pixel image color values. Next, logically corresponding UCR values for each page strip are subtracted from Nth color plane non-black pixel image color values and each page strip from the Nth color plane is passed to a print engine for rendering.
