First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of forming a content signal comprising:
- receiving content;
storing the content in a first format as a first file in a first folder in a content repository;
determining a target for the first file;
communicating the targets and a material identifier to a work flow system;
associating the material identifier with the first file in the first folder of the content repository;
copying the first file to the workflow system;
communicating the first file to a plurality of content converters in response to the targets;
converting the content at the plurality of converters and forming a plurality of converted files in formats different than the first format;
storing the plurality of converted files in a second folder of the content repository;
copying the plurality of converted files to an analyzer tool to form copied files;
analyzing the copied files in the analyzer tool;
when no errors are detected in the analyzer tool, communicating an availability signal to the work flow system;
copying the converted files to a third folder of the content repository in response to the availability signal.

Abstract
A communication system 10 includes a content processing system 12 and a distribution system 14. The content processing system 12 receives content and stores the content in a first file format in the content repository 40. A workflow system 54 determines a target for the content and routes the content to a content converter 64 corresponding to the target. The content converter 60 converts the content and forms a second file in a second format different than the first format. The content repository 40 stores the second file therein.
