    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an authentication approach to grant access to a secure service on an electronic device. The authentication approach includes receiving, via an electronic device, a request to access the secure service. The authentication approach includes determining whether the electronic device is positioned at a location that corresponds to a virtual authentication lock. The authentication approach includes displaying, in response to determining the device is positioned at the location that corresponds to the virtual authentication lock, the virtual authentication lock on a display of the electronic device. The authentication approach includes receiving one or more interactions with the virtual authentication lock. The authentication approach includes determining whether the one or more interactions correspond to one or more authentication interactions related to the virtual authentication lock. The authentication approach includes granting, in response to the one or more interactions corresponding to the one or more authentication interactions, access to the secure service.

    Abstract: A system for tracking the location of an electronic device includes an electronic device and a wireless location tag. The wireless location tag includes a microcontroller unit, and a modular connector interface configured to be communicatively coupled to a port of the electronic device. The wireless location tag is configured to establish an Internet connection to one or more backend electronic devices in response to detecting that the wireless location tag has been communicatively coupled to the port of the electronic device, obtain identifying information that is associated with the electronic device, and identify tag identifying information associated with the wireless location tag. The wireless location tag is also configured to send one or more instructions to the one or more backend electronic devices via the Internet connection, and send one or more ping messages to the one or more backend electronic devices.

    Abstract: A system of identifying end-user processes in a print environment receives job data corresponding to jobs that have been processed by one or more print devices in a print environment over a time period, and identifies a plurality of processing operations initiated by a user during the time period. The system determines whether the plurality of processing operations comprise a scan processing operation that was performed after a print processing operation and within a second time period from performance of the print processing operation. In response to determining that the plurality of processing operations comprise a scan processing operation initiated by the user that was performed within the second time period from a print processing operation, the system generates a digital representation of an end user process that includes the first processing operation and the second processing operation, and presents a visual representation of the end user process for validation.

    Abstract: A method and device for calibrating a power model for a multi-state device. The device includes a processor and a computer readable medium containing instructions to instruct the processor to perform the method. The method includes receiving a device state log comprising a time-based representation of multi-state device states for a first period of time and a power trace comprising a time-based representation of power consumed by the multi-state device for the first period of time; eroding the device state log to reduce potential noise present at state transitions within the device state log, thereby producing an eroded device state log; determining energy consumption for each state transition in the eroded power state log; creating an updated power model for the multi-state device based upon the eroded power state log; and storing the updated power model in a non-transitory computer readable medium operably connected to the multi-state device.

    Abstract: A method of obfuscating at least a portion of content of an email message may include identifying an email message that has been sent to one or more recipients and that pertains to one or more end user processes of a print environment, identifying a content section of the email message, and identifying one or more delimiters associated with the identified content section. The method involves determining whether the identified content section includes the delimiters, and if so, generating an obfuscated content section by obfuscating all content of the identified content section except the one or more identified delimiters. The method includes analyzing the obfuscated content section to ascertain information relevant to the one or more end user processes, and associating the ascertained information with one or more of the one or more end user processes.

    Abstract: A method and device for polling a device such as a multifunction printing device. For example, the method includes sending a first polling request to a device to be polled after an elapsed first period of time, receiving a first polling response from the polled device, determining a mode the polled device is operating in based upon the first polling response, and if the polled device is operating in a high power state, sending a second polling request to the polled device after an elapsed second period of time. The method can further include receiving a second polling response from the polled device, determining a mode the polled device is currently operating in based upon the second polling response, and if the polled device is operating in a high power state, sending a third polling request to the polled device after an elapsed second period of time.
