METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PAY PER USE DOCUMENT TRANSFER VIA COMPUTER NETWORK TRANSFER PROTOCOLS
First Claim
1. A computer system comprises:
- a receiving portion configured to receive a transmission comprising a digitized representation of a document including a digitized representation of an computer network destination associated with a recipient from a user using a facsimile transmission device;
a capture portion configured to determine a telephone number associated with the facsimile transmission device;
an optical character recognition portion coupled to the receiving portion, wherein the optical character recognition portion is configured to determine the computer network destination associated with the recipient in response to the digitized representation of the computer network destination associated with the recipient;
a formatting portion coupled to the receiving portion, wherein the formatting portion is configured to determine an attachment in response to the digitized representation of the document; and
a sending portion coupled to the formatting portion and to the optical character recognition portion, wherein the sending portion is configured to send the attachment addressed to the computer network destination associated with the recipient and comprising an indication of a service provider;
wherein the transmission is associated a pay-per-use service charge that may be asserted against the telephone number associated with the facsimile transmission device.
