Publication number: 20040059435Abstract: A document generating method and system is provided for autonomous selection and communication of information drawn from a varying data stream, keyed by a set of predetermined subjects corresponding to a parameter profile. An original set of predetermined subjects is selected comprised of contents which are updated over time to comprise the varying data stream. A user selects a subset of the original set to form a parameter profile. Incidental to the user generating a first document, a second document is generated comprised of data segments extracted from the subset. The first and second documents are associated and contemporaneously communicated to the user. Preferably, the subject invention is applicable to printed documents and the associating comprises identifying a white space within the first document and disposing the second document within that white space.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2003Publication date: March 25, 2004Applicant: Xerox CorporationInventors: David Goldberg, Mark D. Weiser, Roy Want, Anthony George LaMarca, Russell R. Atkinson

Patent number: 6671064Abstract: An object optimized printing system and method comprises a page description language decomposing system, a command instruction and data generating system and an image output terminal controller. The PDL decomposition system inputs a print file defining a plurality of pages in the page description language and locates the plurality of objects forming each page and their object types. Based on the determine object types and any explicit rendering commands in the PDL file, the PDL decomposition system automatically generates rendering tags for each of the objects. The rendering tags are used to control the command instruction and data generating system, the IOT controller and/or the image output terminal to optimize the printing by the IOT on an object-by-object basis. Based on the objects and the generated rendering tags, the command instruction and data generating system generates the differing types of data and the command instructions on a scanline-by-scanline basis.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2001Date of Patent: December 30, 2003Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: David E. Rumph, Robert M. Coleman, Charles M. Hains, James K. Kenealy, Mark T. Corl, Russell R. Atkinson, Michael F. Plass, Eric S. Nickell, L. Dale Green, Robert R. Buckley

Patent number: 5634089Abstract: In an arrangement in which compressed image data including color image information is to be directed to a printer in streams of data including Sample data, Mask data, Color data and Command or instruction data, wherein the compressed data is directed along a bus, data is retrieved from the bus, with instructions from a fetcher which includes direct memory access (DMA), and is directed to several data type specific FIFO memories. A combiner, operating in accordance with instructions stored in a command FIFO, removes data from the Sample, Mask and Constant Color FIFO's in accordance with the desired image requirements as specified by Command data to form an output image.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1995Date of Patent: May 27, 1997Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Christopher Kulbida, Craig P.
