The invention relates to processing of electronic text communication distributed in bulk. In one embodiment, a process for blocking electronic text communication distributed in bulk is disclosed. In the process, a first electronic and a second electronic submission are received. A first portion is extracted from the first electronic submission and a second portion is extracted from the second electronic submission. A first code is determined for the first portion and a second code is determined for the second portion. The first code is indicative of the first portion and the second code is indicative of the second portion. After the first code is compared to the second code, the second electronic submission is filtered in response to that comparison.

A method for moderating external access to an electronic document authoring, development and distribution system can comprise the steps of: identifying a third party requesting access to the system; permitting restricted access to the third party; and, eliminating all access restrictions imposed in the permitting step when the third party registers with the system. Thus, the inventive method provides to a third party potential customer access to the electronic document authoring, development and distribution system without risking the abuse of the system by the potential customer. The inventive method can encourage the submission of third party Web assets for use by registered users of the system. Specifically, the inventive method can further comprise the steps of: accepting electronic submissions of Web assets from the third party; storing the accepted Web assets in a Web asset database; and, compensating the third party for subsequent distribution of the Web assets.

An improved system and method for submitting, distributing and/or managing digital products with respect to a product distribution site are disclosed. The submission of digital products to the product distribution site is able to be performed by numerous submitters in a uniform and computer-assisted manner. The submitted digital products can then be managed in a largely automated manner and made available for online purchase and distribution at the product distribution site. Once a digital product is submitted, the user can access the status of the digital product submission to obtain information of whether the digital product has been approved or rejected. In one embodiment, the digital products are computer program products (e.g., computer software programs).

An automated hybrid mail system/method (10) which sends a graphic image file (525) from a sender's terminal (14) to a recipient (12). The system/method includes receiving, at server (21), an electronic document (47) transmitted from terminal (14), the electronic document (47) includes a graphic image file (525) with a document ID (530), the graphic image file (525) obtained from an application document (13). Printed hardcopy document (540) is scanned by scanner (545) which reads pre-printed medium identifier (520) and document ID (530) to determine if there is a match between medium identifier (520) and document ID (530). The determination of a match indicates the correct physical medium (510) (e.g. letterhead stock) was used.

An automated hybrid mail system/method (10) which sends a graphic image file (17a) from a sender's terminal (14) into a postal network (26) via a remote printing facility (24). The system/method can concatenate or consolidate a plurality of application documents into a virtual print stream for printing by producing a plurality of graphic image files (17a), each graphic image file obtained from a different application document, consolidating at least some of the plurality of graphic image files (17a) into a virtual print stream, and producing an electronic document (17), the electronic document (17) including at least the virtual print stream. The electronic document (17) is transmitted to a processing system (24) for subsequent automated printing of each graphic image file (17a) as a hardcopy document (25) by a printer (24).

The present invention is directed to methods and systems for the transfer of paper invoices into electronic invoices for electronic submission from a seller to a buyer. The systems and methods described herein use matching logic to transfer details of the paper invoices into electronic invoices, thereby streamlining the process of invoicing.

System, method and computer program product for managing a document. A printer driver of a computer outputs printing data corresponding to the document to an IP port of the computer. A program detects the printing data en route to or at the IP port and determines whether there exists, apart from the printing data, a file containing classification information for storing the printing data. If so, the program appends the classification information to the printing data and sends the printing data and appended classification information to a storage server for storage. The classification information specifies a format for storing the printing data. The program determines whether there exists a file containing classification information by searching for a file with a name which corresponds by convention to a name of the document represented by the printing data. The program appends the classification information to the printing data as comments.

An automated hybrid mail system/method (10) which sends a graphic image file (47a) from a sender's terminal (14) to a recipient (12). The system/method includes receiving, at server (21), an electronic document (47) transmitted from terminal (14), the electronic document (47) includes a graphic image file (47a), the graphic image (47a) obtained from an application document (13) and a regular expression (42) extracted from the graphic image file (47a). The graphic image file (47a) is sent from the server (21) to the recipient (12) using a delivery options (51, 52, 53) specified in the regular expression (42). The regular expression may not be printed as part of the graphic image file and the regular expression can be extracted by software (15) resident on the terminal (14). The regular expression may be an alpha-numeric string.

Systems and methods for facilitating enrollment into a patient support center for a medication are provided. The systems and methods can be configured to receive information from a prescriber regarding a prescription medication for a patient; determine whether the prescription medication is associated with a patient support center; communicate to the prescriber an inquiry regarding whether to enroll the patient in the patient support center; receive a request from the prescriber to begin an enrollment of the patient into the patient support center; communicate to the prescriber an interface by which the prescriber can input information regarding enrollment of the patient into the patient support center; receive an indicia of patient agreement to the enrollment into the patient support center; and communicate the patient enrollment information to the patient support center. The systems and methods may also facilitate electronic submission of a request for prior authorization for the medication.

Provided are a system and a method for permitting a user to submit a payment electronically, which includes a network and an electronic device in communication. The electronic device is operated by the user to submit an electronic payment request. A first server in communication with the network receives the request and in response communicates an encryption key and process to the electronic device. The electronic device encrypts the financial information with the encryption key and process and communicates encrypted financial information to the first server. A second server is in communication with the first server at least some of the time via an Internet connection. If there is Internet connectivity, the first server communicates the encrypted financial information to the second server. If there is no Internet connectivity and the payment amount is less than a predefined amount, the first server communicates to the electronic device that the payment has been accepted.
