Patent number: 9507642Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for method and systems for sub-allocating computational resources. A first computing device receives information associated with a first set of computational resources from a cloud infrastructure. The first set of computational resources has been allocated to the first computing device by the cloud infrastructure. A first set of parameters associated with a workflow received by the first computing device is determined. The first set of parameters is indicative of a need of the first set of computational resources by the first computing device. One or more computational resources from the first set of computational resources are sub-allocated based on the determined first set of parameters.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2012Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Wendell L Kibler, Paul R Austin, Arturo M Lorenzo, Gueyoung Jung

Patent number: 8661331Abstract: Meeting documents are provided to N meeting participants of a meeting. Each meeting document comprises a human-readable content marking related to the subject of the meeting and a storage address marking. At the meeting, the meeting participants supply comment markings to the meeting documents, thus forming commented meeting documents. The commented meeting documents are then scanned to form commented meeting document images. The commented meeting document images are then stored in a repository based on the storage address marking. One or more users are then provided with visual access to the commented meeting documents images, thus enabling the one or more users to view the comment markings that are supplied by the meeting participants.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2004Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Nathaniel G. Martin, Wendell L. Kibler

Patent number: 8411304Abstract: A method and system for enabling automatic service sharing and custom user interface features in a fleet of multi-function devices. EIP (Extensible Interface Platform) services can be registered via a peer-to-peer discovery subsystem associated with a multi-function device grid infrastructure. EIP service registration information can be submitted and stored in the grid infrastructure. The multi-function devices can be equipped with an enterprise EIP client, which can query the discovery subsystem and apply a corporate policy. The discovery subsystem detects the optimal instance of the service based on loading and availability factors and then returns a reference with respect to the services that allows access to enhanced services. Such an approach enables a fleet of multi-function devices to dynamically discover EIP services and auto populate service options to provide increased capability, reduced complexity, and improved speed.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2009Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Wendell L. Kibler, Arturo M. Lorenzo, Robert J. St. Jacques, Jr., Naveen Sharma

Patent number: 7685513Abstract: A method receives a request at a server from a browser for at least one markup language page. The method can then determine which CSS classes are used with the requested markup language page using a usage map. Then, the method loads the markup language page and loads only the CSS classes that are used with the markup language page to the browser.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2006Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventor: Wendell L.

Patent number: 7567364Abstract: A system generates an electronic image of a document for later retrieval through a network connection. The system uses a network accessible scanning device to enable scanning of a document to generate an electronic image thereof and an electronic repository to electronically store the electronic image. The electronic repository designates an electronic address for the stored electronic image and communicates the electronic address to the network accessible scanning device. The network accessible scanning device provides information to a user scanning the document. The information relates to the electronic repository designated address.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2004Date of Patent: July 28, 2009Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Nathaniel G.

Patent number: 5946458Abstract: A printing system disposed in a local or wide area network in which one of a plurality of queries is transmitted from a client to a server for obtaining a set of information including both a file with static information and a subset of dynamic information is provided. The subset of dynamic information varies as a function of one or more print related characteristics of a document processing system with which the server communicates. The printing system includes a parsing subsystem, communicating with the client for receiving the one of the plurality of queries, the parsing subsystem facilitating the obtaining of the set of information by copying a portion of the file, in response to reading a first instruction, and communicating the copied portion at the server for storage thereat.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1997Date of Patent: August 31, 1999Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Paul R.
