Signature match processing in a document registration system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving an object being transmitted over a network at a distributed match agent of a document registration system;
generating a set of signatures associated with the object;
comparing the set of signatures associated with the object to signatures associated with at least one document registered with the document registration system;
generating a list of signature matches as a result of the comparing;
determining ownership of the at least one document; and
applying a policy set by the owner of the at least one document.

Abstract
A document accessible over a network can be registered. A registered document, and the content contained therein, is not transmitted undetected over and off of the network. Signatures for registered documents are compared to signatures of objects being transmitted on the network to determine if the objects contain registered content.

12. A document registration system comprising:
-
a manager agent including;
a master signature database to maintain document identifiers associated with a user of the document registration system, a permissions database to maintain at least one permission associate with a user of the document registration system, and a policy enforcement module to apply the at least one permission from the permissions database; and
a match agent including;
at least one object capture module to capture an object being transmitted over a network, a signature generator to generate a set of signatures associated with the object, a search engine to compare the set of signatures associated with the object with signatures stored in a local signature database of the distributed match agent that are associated with registered documents and to generate a list of matches, and a notification module to determine whether to send a notification to the manager agent of registration system based on the result of the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An article of manufacture including program code which, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
receiving an object being transmitted over a network at a distributed match agent of a document registration system;
generating a set of signatures associated with the object;
comparing the set of signatures associated with the object to signatures associated with at least one document registered with the document registration system;
