Patent ID: 10803229

Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed include a computer-automated system including a processing unit coupled to a memory element and having instructions encoded thereon, the instructions cause the system to: via a network, receive a document in a first format, and via an assessment engine, determine the first format of the received document. The assessment engine is also configured to determine if the determined first format can be converted to a second desired format for printing or display, and if the determined first format can be converted to the second desired format, a conversion engine is caused to convert the received document to the second desired format. If the determined first format cannot be converted to the second desired format, a network routing engine routes the document over the network to a cloud-based conversion engine. Further, the cloud-based conversion engine is messaged over the network, wherein the message further incorporates an instruction to convert the routed document from the first format to the desired second format. The computer-automated system can then receive, over the network, from the cloud-based converter, the routed document, in the desired second format, and print or display the received routed document, in the desired second format.
