Abstract
A method for routing a confirmation of receipt of a facsimile or portion thereof according to one embodiment of the present invention includes analyzing text of a facsimile for at least one of a meaning and a context of the text; and routing one or more confirmations to one or more destinations based on the analysis. A method for routing one or more confirmations according to another embodiment of the present invention includes analyzing a pattern of light and dark areas of a facsimile; correlating the pattern to one or more forms; and routing one or more confirmations to one or more destinations based on the correlation. Additional systems and methods are also presented.

A method for routing one or more confirmations, comprising:
- analyzing a pattern of light and dark areas of a facsimile;
- correlating the pattern to one or more forms;
- and
- routing one or more confirmations to one or more destinations based on the correlation.
A method for routing a confirmation, comprising:
- obtaining a pattern of light and dark areas of a facsimile;
- determining one or more document features from the pattern;
- determining a confirmation destination based on at least one of the following:
- comparing the one or more document features to features of one or more forms, said forms relating to one or more of a certain document type;
- determining the position of one or more of the document features within the pattern;
- and
- comparing at least one of the document features to other features of the pattern;
- and
- routing the facsimile to the confirmation destination based on the determination of the destination.
A system for routing a confirmation, comprising:
- logic for obtaining a pattern of light and dark areas of a facsimile;
- logic for determining one or more document features from the pattern;
- logic for determining a confirmation destination based on at least one of the following:
- logic for comparing the one or more document features to features of one or more forms, said forms relating to one or more of a certain document type:
- logic for determining the position of one or more of the document features within the pattern;
- and
- logic for comparing at least one of the document features to other features of the pattern;
- and
- logic for routing the facsimile to the confirmation destination based on the determination of the confirmation destination.
