    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for flexible management of applications provided by one or more application service providers and accessible to one or more client devices such as multi-function devices (e.g., MFPs). A management system registers new applications by recording in a database application information provided by the application service provider. Client devices may then request a menu of all available applications and may subscribe to one or more provided applications by interaction with the management system by transmitting subscription information to the management system. The management system then receives usage information from the service provider for usage of a subscribed application by the client device. The management system records the usage information and may produce reports upon request from the recorded usage information. The application information may include pricing model information such that the management system may provide accounting reports for accumulated usage and related charges therefore.

    Abstract translation: 用于灵活管理由一个或多个应用服务提供商提供并且可以由诸如多功能设备(例如,MFP)的一个或多个客户端设备访问的应用的方法和装置。 管理系统通过记录由应用服务提供商提供的数据库应用信息来注册新的应用。 客户设备然后可以请求所有可用应用的菜单,并且可以通过与管理系统交互来向订阅信息发送订阅信息来订阅一个或多个提供的应用。 然后,管理系统从服务提供商接收客户端设备使用订阅应用的使用信息。 管理系统记录使用信息,并且可以根据记录的使用信息的请求生成报告。 应用信息可以包括定价模型信息,使得管理系统可以提供用于累积使用的计费报告和相关费用。

    Abstract: Methods and system for printing a print job with cloud storage are disclosed. A web print server is provided for accessing a cloud storage server. The web print server is operable to download a print job from the cloud storage server to the web print server. The web print server downloads the print job based on an identification (of the print job) that is received from a web client remotely over a network. Subsequently, the print web server sends the print job to a printer for the print job to be printed from the printer. In one embodiment, the printer may comprise the web client.

    Abstract translation: 公开了使用云存储打印打印作业的方法和系统。 提供了一种用于访问云存储服务器的网络打印服务器。 网页打印服务器可操作以将打印作业从云存储服务器下载到web打印服务器。 网络打印服务器基于通过网络远程从Web客户端接收的标识(打印作业)来下载打印作业。 随后,打印网络服务器将打印作业从打印机发送到要打印的打印作业的打印机。 在一个实施例中,打印机可以包括web客户端。

    Abstract: An approach is provided for printing locked print data using user and print data authentication. The approach is applicable to a wide variety of contexts and implementations and includes the use of bi-directional security measures to ensure a secure transmission of a document to a printer and secure retrieval of the document from the printer by one or more intended recipients. In particular, the bi-directional security measures ensure that: 1) the document is received only by the intended recipient designated by the creator, 2) both the document's creator and the intended recipient are successfully authenticated, 3) the document received by the intended recipient is the document that was created by the creator, and 4) the document received by the intended recipient is identical to the document created by the creator.

    Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于使用用户打印锁定的打印数据和打印数据认证的方法。 该方法适用于各种上下文和实现,并且包括使用双向安全措施来确保将文档安全地传输到打印机并且通过一个或多个预期接收者安全地从打印机检索文档。 特别是双向安全措施确保:1)文件仅由创作者指定的收件人收到,2)文件的创建者和预定的收件人都成功通过认证,3)预期收到的文件 收件人是由创建者创建的文档,以及4)预期收件人收到的文档与创建者创建的文档相同。

    Abstract: Techniques and systems for maintaining a secure document replication environment based on information contained in CACs are disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, a device such as an MFP, a printer, a scanner, a copier, or a fax machine comprises or is connected to a card reader. The device prevents users from using the device until the users have been authenticated. In order to authenticate himself to the device, a user inserts his CAC into the card reader. The device reads the user's digital certificate off of the user's CAC. The device determines whether the digital certificate is valid. If the digital certificate is not valid, then, in one embodiment of the invention, the device prevents the user from using any of the device's functions (e.g., printing, scanning, copying, faxing, etc.).

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for selecting a paper source for image printing are provided. A user accesses a service available from a print server for printing an image. The print server may download the image from a storage server over a network. The print server automatically identifies a list of paper sizes corresponding with a list of available paper sources, and selects a scaling ratio for fitting the image into one of the paper sizes. The print server generates a scaled image based on the selected scaling ratio and sends the scaled image to a printer for the scaled to be printed from a selected paper source.

    Abstract: An approach is provided for retrieving electronic documents. The approach provides a Web-based graphical user interface that allows users to construct complex queries that include Boolean clauses, proximity clauses and/or keyword phrases, without requiring the users to have a working knowledge of query languages. The Web-based graphical user interface also allows users to specify a semantic meaning for one or more search terms. The approach also allows users to generate various reports for search results. Various filters may be applied to manage the amount of reporting data and semantic meanings may be applied to increase relevancy. A time cost estimator provides an estimated review time for search results. Also included are approaches for using the results of simple searches to perform advanced searches, for estimating the cost and/or time for reviewing search results and for performing tagging analysis and for using logical custodians.
