Title: Server, data output system, data output method, and output terminal

Abstract: A server comprises an electronic data item receiving unit, an identification code receiving unit, an identification code storing unit, and an electronic data item transmitting unit. The electronic data item receiving unit receives an electronic data item. When a person exists within a predetermined range from an output terminal, the identification code receiving unit receives a first identification code concerning any one of the person and a device used by the person and a second identification code for identifying the output terminal. The identification code storing unit stores therein the first and second identification codes received by the identification code receiving unit, in association with each other. The electronic data item transmitting unit transmits the electronic data item received by the electronic data item receiving unit to a corresponding output terminal based on the first and second identification codes stored in the identification code storing unit.




Disclaimer: The promise of Apex Standards Pseudo Claim Charting (PCC) [ Request Form ] is not to replace expert opinion but to provide due diligence and transparency prior to high precision charting. PCC conducts aggressive mapping (based on Broadest Reasonable, Ordinary or Customary Interpretation and Multilingual Translation) between a target patent's claim elements and other documents (potential technical standard specification or prior arts in the same or across different jurisdictions), therefore allowing for a top-down, apriori evaluation, with which, stakeholders can assess standard essentiality (potential strengths) or invalidity (potential weaknesses) quickly and effectively before making complex, high-value decisions. PCC is designed to relieve initial burden of proof via an exhaustive listing of contextual semantic mapping as potential building blocks towards a litigation-ready work product. Stakeholders may then use the mapping to modify upon shortlisted PCC or identify other relevant materials in order to formulate strategy and achieve further purposes.
