Abstract:
A system for processing corresponding pairs of original paper documents and resulting electronic images, said system comprising:(a) a scanner for producing said resulting electronic images from said original paper documents to provide said pairs in an arbitrary real time sequence; (b) each pair being automatically specified by a unique date/time identifier; (c) a physical storage for containing at least one physical collection of said paper documents substantially in said real time sequence; (d) each of said paper documents in said physical collection being logically classified by said date/time identifier with the date/time identifiers of the other paper documents in said physical collection; (e) said paper documents in said physical collection being logically classified by other identifiers into restricted virtual groups; (f) paper documents of different ones of said restricted virtual groups being intermingled physically throughout said physical collection; (g) an electronic storage for containing at least one electronic collection of said electronic images; (h) each of said electronic images in said electronic collection being logically classified by said date/time identifier with the date/time identifiers of the other electronic images in said electronic collection; (i) said electronic images in said electronic collection being logically classified by said other identifiers into restricted image groups; (j) digital processing means for recording said date/time sequence and for presenting said restricted image groups; (k) said physical storage having a plurality of physical containers for holding said paper documents substantially in said real time sequence; (l) said physical containers being uniquely marked with visual media designating ranges of said date/time identifiers; and (m) paper documents of different ones of said restricted virtual groups being intermingled physically throughout said physical containers.
