The invention provides a system and method for determining when a message is received by a recipient or an agent for the recipient. A link is activated at the recipient to provide an indication that the message has been opened by the recipient. The activation of the link may cause a server remote from the recipient to take some further action.

System and method for verifying delivery and integrity of electronic messages

A system and method for providing secure message services. The system includes a forwarding service to receive message for delivery to a recipient. The system checks for preferences for delivery of the message content including encryption preferences and notifies the recipient or delivers the message according to the encryption preferences. The system includes an interoperability engine to determine delivery preferences including security preferences, the security preferences indicating a security protocol by which the message can be securely delivered to the recipient.

Secure message forwarding system detecting user's preferences including security preferences

A natural-language processing system such as a machine-translation system employs a tree structure of increasingly specialized system dictionaries and attaches user dictionaries to individual system dictionaries in the tree, or helps users edit their user dictionaries by displaying lists of unknown words encountered in translations, or uploads processing programs such as translation engines to a dictionary server to make dictionary access more efficient, or combines a source document and a machine translation thereof into a single document in such a way that the reader of the translation can conveniently see the original source text, or automatically converts contact information in a source document to contact information more suitable for inclusion in a machine translation of the document.

Natural-language processing system

A fax to E-mail system and related method are shown, whereby a hardcopy document is sent via a fax device to its recipient via electronic mail through a data network (such as the Internet), and is delivered in such a manner that it can be retrieved by the recipient at an E-mail device, in the ordinary course of retrieving the E-mail, and displayed on the screen of the E-mail device. The invention provides for and accomplishes the delivery of a document, which begins as a hardcopy, as an electronic file retrieved through E-mail recipient's terminal and displayed on the computer screen of the E-mail recipient's terminal. The system and method also provides for an interface device which connects to a conventional fax device for communicating E-mail addresses and routing hardcopy documents to the E-mail network. The invention provides a means for embedding the functions of the interface device into conventional fax devices. The system can also be used in cooperation with Internet Web service for reporting, accounting, information services, and user interaction.

Facsimile to e-mail communication system with local interface

A method according to one aspect of the present invention includes receiving patient information, analyzing the patient information to identify a condition for the patient, and formatting a report based on the patient information and the patient condition. Embodiments of the present invention may be used to monitor any appropriate medical device from essentially any location from which a communications signal can be sent and received. This enables patients to enjoy an active lifestyle by not being tied to medical device monitoring equipment that is difficult or impossible to transport or having to routinely visit health care facilities. Multiple reports can be formatted to include any desired amount and type of information, and can be transmitted selectively to any number of users.

Systems and methods for remote patient monitoring and user interface

This invention relates to a system for combining an electronic mail (email) address or addresses and/or facsimile telephone numbers into a fax message, so that when received by a server the fax document is processed and transmitted as an email attachment to the email addresses or a fax message to the telephone numbers of the intended fax recipients. This allows the user to be able to send faxes and emails from a conventional fax machine or personal computer without having an Internet connection.

System and process for transmitting electronic mail using a conventional facsimile device

This invention relates to a system which has a combined facsimile and electronic mail capability. The user stores fax telephone numbers and corresponding e-mail addresses into a fax machine. When the user activates the system, the fax machine sends both a fax and an e-mail to the intended recipient.
