Abstract: A controlled image including a predetermined graphic symbol, for example a signature on a check or other document, is produced in a web-based imaging environment. From a client program, for example a user's browser, a source service is accessed and dynamically generates under interactive control of the client program a printable version of the controlled image including the predetermined graphic symbol, which references a particular symbol set, for example a font. The printable version is referenced from a composition associated with a user's identity, e.g., an imaging store. A destination service representing a production device is accessed from the client program and then retrieves the printable version. Only if the destination service contains the particular symbol set will the controlled image be produced including the signature or other predetermined graphic symbol. Otherwise the image can be optionally produced including a substitute symbol, e.g., “VOID.”

Abstract: A system for printing target data from a web application used through a browser of a client computer that is operatively connected to a web server providing the web application. The system includes a client computer having a browser for using the web application, a web server for providing the web application, a web application content for providing the web application on the browser, and a print destination server specified by the user for printing the target data. The web application content further directs the browser to the print destination server responsive to user print selection.

Abstract: A bidding service may be used to receive bid information to complete a job request, from processors coupled to a job ticket service center. The processors submit bids in response to posting of job ticket notices at the service center. A work flow controller may post the job ticket notices after receipt of the job request. The job ticket notice may include specific tasks or branches that must be completed to complete the job request. The job ticket notice may include descriptions of specific branches and their interrelationships in sufficient detail to allow the processors to bid for completion of the branches. The bidding service may select bids from the processors based on set criteria. For example, the job request may specify minimum performance requirements (e.g., a maximum cost and a completion deadline). The bidding service may reject any bids that fail to satisfy the minimum performance requirements. Where the work flow controller has established multiple branches, each such branch may include minimum performance requirements. The branch-specific performance requirements may be established by the work flow controller based on overall performance requirements for the job ticket.

Abstract translation: 投标服务可用于接收投标信息，以完成作业请求，从加工到工作单服务中心的处理器。 处理器在服务中心发送工作单通知时提交投标。 工作流程控制器可以在接收到作业请求之后发布作业通知。 作业单通知可能包括完成作业请求必须完成的特定任务或分支。 工作单通知可能包括具体分支的描述及其相互关系，以便处理者能够投标完成分支机构。 投标服务可以根据设置标准从处理器中选择出价。 例如，作业请求可以指定最低性能要求（例如，最大成本和完成期限）。 投标服务可以拒绝任何不符合最低性能要求的投标。 在工作流程控制器已建立多个分支的情况下，每个这样的分支可以包括最低性能要求。 分支特定的性能要求可以由工作流程控制器基于作业单的总体性能要求来建立。

Abstract: In a web-based imaging environment, a user accesses a destination service (e.g.,representing a printer), which retrieves user's imaging data production options for a processing job. The user selects desired production options, after which the destination service estimates the time duration required to process the user's job based on the selected options. If the estimated time required is greater than a predetermined threshold, the option of processing is disabled and a message is normally displayed to the user. If not, the option to process is enabled. In variations, the user's ability to process is reevaluated as the user selects differing options. In other variations, an administrator specifies the threshold, or specifies multiple user-specific thresholds, and/or thresholds specific to time of day and/or day of week and/or month. In another variation, if the user cannot process to this production device, a link to an alternative device is provided.
