International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 6, 715500

Abstract:

A system and method for facilitating the accurate entry of information into a highly structured database by initially extracting information from a plurality of nonuniformly formatted source data streams, e. g. , documents/files, and subsequent interactions with users before storing the accepted and/or modified information into the database. Embodiments of the present invention provide an interactive path for each user (e. g. , the author of the source document/file) to interactively modify the extracted data, e. g. , according to the source document/file. Preferably, this interactive path is provided via the Internet and the extracted information can be modified by editing and/or selectively copying portions of the source documents/files to supplement and/or modify the extracted information.

Appl. No.:

16/793392

Inventors:

- Framingham MA, US
Alan PORTER - Huntington Beach CA, US
Brad NELSON - Santa Rosa CA, US
Phillip McGEE - Chino Hills CA, US

International Classification:

G06K 15/02
G06F 3/12
G06F 40/186
G06F 40/103
G06F 40/12

Abstract:

A printing system and method of printing are provided herein. The printing system may generate custom user designs for printing. The designs may be associated with a selected print medium. The print medium may have a particular layout. The printing system may convert the design for printing on other print media without requiring user alteration or input of the design. In another aspect, the printing system may facilitate printing the designs via local printers and/or via professional printers. Accordingly, printing of designs on different print-receptive media items can be accomplished.
