Patent ID: 7987051

Claim:
A system for determining an average walk distance for a plurality of users of print-related services, the system comprising: a processor; a processor-readable storage medium in communication with the processor; and an output device in communication with the processor, wherein the processor-readable storage medium comprises one or more programming instructions, that when executed causes the processor to: identifying a plurality of print-related services in a facility, wherein each service is provided by one or more resources; identifying a total number of users associated with the plurality of services; for each identified user: identifying one or more of the services used by the identified user, for each identified service: determining a usage level associated with the identified service and the identified user, determining a distance between the identified user and the identified service, determining a first value by multiplying the usage level by the distance; and determining a second value by summing the first values associated with each identified service; determining a third value by summing the second values associated with each identified user; determining an average walk distance for the one or more identified users by dividing the third value by the total number of identified users; and displaying, on the output device, the average walk distance.
