Patent

CA 2736414

The present disclosure provides methods and apparatus for delivering documents. A web based application server transmits a document to a distribution management system. The distribution management system then translates the document if necessary (e.g., from a spreadsheet to a PDF and a fax) and sends the translated document to one or more destinations such as email inboxes, printers, and fax machines. For fax deliveries, the distribution management system sends the document to a particular client device that is associated with the fax destination. For example, the client device that actually transmits the fax may reside at a company, and the fax machine may be at a customer of that company. In this manner, fax transmissions appear to come from the correct source (not the distribution management system), and transmission charges associated with the fax are incurred by the appropriate company (not the company associated with the distribution management system).

La présente invention concerne des procédés et un appareil dacheminement de documents. Un serveur Web dapplications transmet un document à un système de gestion de distribution. Le système de gestion de distribution convertit alors le document si nécessaire (par ex. dun tableur en un PDF et en une télécopie) et envoie le document converti à une ou plusieurs destinations telles que des boîtes de réceptions demail, des imprimantes et des télécopieurs. Pour lacheminement par télécopie, le système de gestion de distribution envoie le document à un dispositif client particulier qui est associé à la destination de la télécopie. Par exemple, le dispositif client qui émet effectivement la télécopie peut se situer au sein dune entreprise et le télécopieur peut se trouver chez un client de lentreprise en question. De cette manière, les transmissions par télécopie paraissent provenir de la source appropriée (et non du système de gestion de distribution) et les frais de transmission associés à la télécopie sont supportés par lentreprise appropriée (et non par lentreprise associée au système de gestion de distribution).
