Abstract:
A system for accessing electronic documents in a repository of electronic documents coupled to a wire based network, the system comprising:(A) a mobile data processing device, comprising: (a) a processor with coupled memory, (b) a user input module coupled to the processor to generate a document related user input that specifies a document related service to be performed on a document stored in the repository of electronic documents, (c) a token building module coupled to the user input module for receiving the document related user input and constructing a general token including: (i) a first service parameter defining a first property of the document related service and (ii) an address component designating an electronic address of the document in the repository of electronic documents to which the document related service is to be performed, and (d) a wireless transceiver for transmitting the constructed general token; (B) a wired transceiver coupled to the wired based network for communicating with the mobile data processing device to receive the general token; the wired transceiver specifying a second service parameter defining a second property of the document related service in the general token; and (C) a workstation coupled to the wired based network for communicating with the wired transceiver to receive the general token; the workstation analyzing the service parameters in the general token to deduce a document service system for performing the document related service specified in the general token on the document.
