Abstract
The reproduction of a requested source document in a requested available form (including electronic, print, audio and Braille) is disclosed. At a server, for each one of a plurality of documents at least one access pathway is applied to a marked-up form of the document. The access pathways define discrete parts of the document. A fragment of the marked-up document is generated for each said access pathway for each available form. A requested one or more parts of a source document is generated in a requested form from the respective stored fragments. The fragments are transmitted to the requesting customer for local reproduction.
Claims30
A method for reproducing a requested source document in a requested one of available forms comprising the steps of:
- (a) for each one of a plurality of documents:
- (i) applying at least one access pathway to a marked-up form of the document, said access pathways defining discrete parts of the document;
- and
- (ii) generating a fragment of said marked-up document for each said access pathway for each available form;
- and (b) generating a requested one or more parts of a source document in a requested form from the respective stored fragments.
The method of clam 3, wherein said configuration file includes requestable information relating to available format that is added to said fragments.
A method for reproducing a requested source document in a requested one of available forms.
A method for reproducing a requested source document in a requested one of available forms and formats.
A method for reproducing a requested source document in a requested one of available forms comprising the steps of:
- (a) at a document server, for each one of a plurality of documents:
- (i) applying at least one access pathway to a marked-up form of the document, said access pathways defining discrete parts of the document;
- and
- (ii) generating a fragment of said marked-up document for each said access pathway for each available form;
- (b) transmitting said fragments for said requested form for a requested document over a communication channel;
- and
- (c) at a remote computer connected to said communication channel, generating a requested one or more parts of a source document in a requested form from the respective stored fragments.
A computer system for reproducing a requested source document in a requested one of available forms comprising a processor programmed to:
- (a) for each one of a plurality of documents:
- (i) apply at least one access pathway to a marked-up form of the document, said access pathways defining discrete parts of the document;
- and
- (ii) generate a fragment of said marked-up document for each said access pathway for each available form;
- and
- (b) generate a requested one or more parts of a source document in a requested form from the respective stored fragments.
A computer system for reproducing a requested source document in a requested one of available forms comprising:
- (a) a document server programmed to, for each one of a plurality of documents:
- (i) apply at least one access pathway to a marked-up form of the document, said access pathways defining discrete parts of the document;
- and
- (ii) generate a fragment of said marked-up document for each said access pathway for each available form;
- (b) a transmission channel for transmitting said fragments for said requested form for a requested document;
- and
- (c) a remote computer connected to said communication channel, operable to generate a requested one or more parts of a source document in a requested form from the y respective stored fragments.
A method for converting a requestable source document in a requestable one of available forms to be available for reproduction comprising the steps of:
- for each one of a plurality of documents:
- (i) applying at least one access pathway to a marked-up form of the document, said access pathways defining discrete parts of the document;
- and (ii) generating a fragment of said marked-up document for each said access pathway for each available form.
The method of clam 24, wherein said configuration file includes requestable information relating to available format that is added to said fragments.
