ABSTRACT:
The Output Library Administrator of the present invention is comprised of three discrete components: an Output Record Handler, a Logon Request Processor, and a Call Command Processor. The Output Record Handler is responsible for interacting with the user to gather pertinent information about an output material file that the user wants processed. Once the Output Record Handler has assembled all of the necessary information, the Output Record Handler creates a record containing the information (i.e., the output material file, etc.) and stores the record in a library for later processing by the Logon Request Processor and the Call Command Processor. After the output file has been stored by the Output Record Handler, the output file remains in storage until further processing is requested by the user. To request processing of an output material file that has been stored by the Output Record Handler, the user merely goes to the output device and "logs on" via a keypad or other interactive device. The Logon Request Processor verifies whether the logon request is valid. If so, the Logon Request Processor passes control to the Call Command Processor which scans the library and returns a list of "outputable" files to be displayed to the user. The user then requests output of one or more files by issuing a Call Command via the output device.
