Abstract: A high availability method and system manipulate and store document images and coded data. The method and system include an image local area network and a coded data local area network. The image local area network is operated at a high utilization because of the relatively large size of the image files transmitted over it. The coded data local area network is operated at a relatively low utilization level because of a relatively small size of the coded data files transmitted over it. Two or more work group servers are connected to the image local area network. Each work group server is connected through a work group local area network to the coded data local area network. Each work group server operates in both a primary mode to service its own work group LAN and in a hot standby mode to serve as a backup processor for its corresponding work group server when the corresponding work group server is in a failure mode. When the failure mode occurs, a local area network manager reroutes image files from the first work group local area network over the under utilized coded data local area network, to the second work group local area network and its work group server which is operating in a hot standby mode. In this manner, a high availability is provided for the image file processing and coded data processing by providing alternate LAN links having adequate capacity to accommodate the large rerouted image files.

Abstract: A family of form types having a common set of data types, can be transformed into a meta-form which contains all of the data types which are arranged into a single layout. The location of the fields on the meta-form are specified by a meta-form definition data set. The single meta-form definition data set is substituted in a character recognition processor, for the plurality of form definition data sets which specify the layouts of the original form types in the family. This speeds the character recognition operation by not requiring a time consuming search for customized form definitions. Furthermore, by transforming the layout of field images for each form type in a family, into a single layout in the meta-form, the fields of the meta-form can be quickly located to speed the decompression of meaningful parts of the compressed document form image, without requiring the time consuming decompression of other parts which are not of interest.

Abstract: A computer method enables a plurality of character recognition programs to recognize characters inscribed on a filled out version of the document form. The method enables a user to create a plurality of form definition data sets in a single working session, in a user friendly manner. It also enables the modification of form definition data sets in an easy, improved manner.
