International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715243, 715235, 707708

Abstract:

A system and method is provided for printing variable information documents including processing a VI request which has a dynamic reference and uses a namespace and schema, wherein the dynamic reference specifies information to be integrated into a resolved document. The processing includes mapping between respective namespaces and schemas used by a plurality of data sources and the namespace and schema used by the VI request, and generating at least one query in accordance with the dynamic reference and the mapping. The data sources are queried using the generated at least one query. The resolved document is generated and printed, including integrating data received in response to the querying into the resolved document. The data source(s) to be queried may be selected based on a comparison of a type of information available from the plurality of data sources and a type of information requested via the dynamic references.

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation - Norwalk CT

International Classification:

G06F 17/27

US Classification:

715202

Abstract:

Apparatus are provided which include a media content presenter, a media content cross-reference scanner, and a media content cross-reference presentation generator. The media content presenter presents media content. The media content cross-reference scanner scans media content presented by the media content presenter to gather, from the media content, cross-reference identifiers referencing other media content. The media content cross-reference presentation generator generates a set of presentation fields representing the gathered cross-reference identifiers.

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation - Norwalk CT

International Classification:

G06K 15/00

US Classification:

358 21

Abstract:

There is disclosed a printing system for processing an electronic document with an original stream having at least two printing related instructions. Responsive to reading the at least two printing related instructions with a controller; the original stream is split into two or more streams. A printer produces (1) one or more sets of prints from one or more of the two or more streams for storage in one or more inserters, and (2) a final set of prints from another one of the two or more streams, the final set of prints corresponding to a hardcopy stream with at least one gap. The one or more sets of prints are automatically stored in the one or more inserters and, pursuant to printing the final set of prints; the one or more inserters are used to insert at least one print from the one or more sets of prints into the at least one gap of the hardcopy stream.

Inventors:

Lee C. Moore - Penfield NY, US

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation - Norwalk CT

International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382103, 340 561

Abstract:

A system to automatically attach subject descriptions to a digital image containing one or more subjects is described. The system comprises a camera a set of remotely readable badges attached to the subjects, where each badge has a readable identification, a receiver to read the badges where the receiver can determine both the identification of each badge and the location of each badge, and a processor to combine the digital image and the identification and location information is described. By accessing a database containing the subject identification associated with each badge identification the processor can attach subject identification information to each subject in the image.

G06K 9/40

US Classification:

382275, 382112, 356 326, 399407

Abstract:

A method for removal of punched hole artifacts in digital images includes, for a scanned document page, deriving an original digital image that defines the page in terms of a plurality of input pixels. A reduced resolution bitonal image is generated from the original image. The method further includes providing for identifying of candidate punched hole artifacts in the reduced resolution bitonal image and providing for testing the candidate punched hole artifacts for at least one of shape, size, and location. Where a candidate punched hole artifact meets the at least one test, the method includes generating a modified image. This includes erasing the candidate punched hole artifact from the original digital image.

International Classification:

G06F 3/12

US Classification:

358 115

Abstract:

A method and system generate a workflow for the production of a three-dimensional document. A knowledge base contains production rules for several dimensional documents. The production rules relate to a plurality of jobs, i. e. , units of work involved in the production of a dimensional document. The rules also identify human and/or mechanical resources required to complete each job. The system receives, from multiple service providers, capability information corresponding to each service provider's available resources. The capability information is associated with the production rules and stored in the knowledge base. When a user selects a dimensional document to be produced, the system selects appropriate production rules for the document, accesses the associated capability information, and automatically generates a workflow for the document. The system distributes various jobs in the workflow among at least two different service providers.

Inventors:

Lee Moore - Rochester NY, US

Assignee:

XEROX CORPORATION

International Classification:

G06K019/06

US Classification:

235/494000

Abstract:

A system and method for automatic and semi-automatic document indexing preferably performs document recognition procedures on scanned document data and searches for sub-section delimiters. An index or table of contents is then generated for the document based on sub-section delimiters located in the search. For example, text strings, font size, or other symbols or distinguishing characteristics are used as delimiters in order to automatically find chapter or sub-section headings. A system operator may make adjustments to the automatically determined subdivisions. Alternatively, a plurality of document pages is displayed, for example, in thumbnail form, and the system operator indicates subdivision demarcation points within the displayed thumbnails. The indicated demarcation points are used as sub-section delimiters, and document subdivision is performed as described above. In yet another alternative, demarcation symbols are added to the document prior to scanning.
