First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for providing a copy of a document, comprising:
- storing or uploading at least one of a plurality of documents in at least one of a plurality of document repositories;
collecting a plurality of document identifiers on a first medium;
receiving and storing in a memory on a second medium the plurality of collected document identifiers, and a user identifier identifying a unique user;
associating each document identifier with at least one of the plurality of documents stored in at least one of the plurality of document repositories, the document repositories different from the first and second media;
linking the second medium with at least one of the document repositories;
identifying a stored document as an identified document if any of the document identifiers correspond to a document stored in the document repositories linked to the second medium; and
copying the identified document to a third medium.

Abstract
Systems and methods provide documents based on collected document identifiers. A document production center receives a document identifier along with delivery address information, identifies a digital document based on the document identifier, makes an copy or prints a hard copy of the document, and delivers the copied or printed document to a delivery address based on the delivery address information.

15. A system for providing a copy of a document, comprising:
-
a database storing document digital data sets associated with document identifiers; a medium that collects a plurality of document identifiers; a document identifier receiving circuit, routine or application that receives and stores in a memory the collected document identifiers, a user identifier identifying a unique user, the document identifiers associated with at least one of a plurality of documents stored in or uploaded to at least one of a plurality of document repositories, at least one of the document repositories being linked to the document identifier receiving circuit, a delivery information receiving circuit, routine or application that receives delivery information from at least one of the document repositories, the user information comprising the delivery information; a document identifier matching circuit, routine or application that identifies a document digital data set from among the stored document digital data sets which is associated with each document identifier stored in the document identifier receiving circuit as an identified document if any of the document identifiers correspond to any of the plurality of documents stored in the document repositories linked to the document identifier receiving circuit; and one or more of (a) an output device that outputs a copy of the identified document, and (b) a delivery address associating circuit, routine or application that associates the identified document digital data set to a delivery address based on the delivery information for delivering a copy of the identified document to the delivery address. - View Dependent Claims (16)
