    Abstract: Methods and systems enable devices to discover each other when the devices are in a common location. Unique identifiers (UIDs) are associated with one or more location and each UID uniquely identifies a location. Devices that are located in a particular location that has a UID can register to create an association between the device and the UID. In turn, this creates an association between the device and a location. Subsequently, when another device (e.g. a laptop computer or PDA) enters the location, the device can discover the UID of the location and then ascertain which other devices are associated with that location.

    Abstract translation: 当设备处于公共位置时，方法和系统使设备能够相互发现。 唯一标识符（UID）与一个或多个位置相关联，并且每个UID唯一地标识位置。 位于具有UID的特定位置的设备可以注册以在设备和UID之间建立关联。 反过来，这将创建设备和位置之间的关联。 随后，当另一设备（例如，膝上型计算机或PDA）进入该位置时，设备可以发现该位置的UID，然后确定哪个其他设备与该位置相关联。

    Abstract: To control concurrent access problems, the job ticket service may employ branch locking features, that is, the capability to lock a job ticket at the branch level. The branch locking may be accomplished by one of several methods. The work flow controller may assign one or more specific processors to perform the tasks identified with the branch to be locked. Where more than one processor is authorized access to the same branch, the job ticket service may lock the branch when one of the authorized processors actually acquire the branch. The job ticket service may lock the branches by setting a lock/unlock flag for each branch. Processors accessing the job ticket may then review the lock/unlock flag status to determine if the branch may be accessed. In some circumstances, the job ticket service may allow access only to those branches that are unlocked. A processor that has completed a task defined by the branch may need to have the branch unlocked in order to modify the branch.

    Abstract translation: 为了控制并发访问问题，作业单服务可以采用分支锁定功能，即在分支级别锁定作业单的能力。 分支锁定可以通过几种方法之一来实现。 工作流程控制器可以分配一个或多个特定处理器来执行用分支识别的要被锁定的任务。 如果多个处理器被授权访问同一个分支，当其中一个授权处理器实际获取分支时，作业传票服务可以锁定分支。 作业单服务可以通过为每个分支设置锁定/解锁标志来锁定分支。 访问作业单的处理器可能会检查锁定/解锁标志状态，以确定是否可以访问该分支。 在某些情况下，作业单服务可能只允许访问那些已解锁的分支。 完成分支定义的任务的处理器可能需要使分支解锁才能修改分支。

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a toner cartridge for the printing of MICR characters that includes a memory device that is programmed with the requisite font for MICR characters. The font is accessible for the printing of MICR characters when the toner cartridge is installed in a printer. In a further embodiment, the memory device on the toner cartridge may also contain a data flag indicating that a print job must print at least one symbol in the MICR font. Corresponding printer firmware may then determine if this flag is present, and, if present, will prevent the printing of print jobs that do not include at least one character to be printed in the MICR font. This prevents MICR toner from being wasted on documents that do not require MICR toner, such as normal office correspondence.

    Abstract translation: 本发明的实施例包括用于打印MICR字符的调色剂盒，其包括用MICR字符所需的字体编程的存储器件。 当墨粉盒安装在打印机中时，字体可以打印MICR字符。 在另一个实施例中，调色剂盒上的存储装置还可以包含指示打印作业必须以MICR字体打印至少一个符号的数据标志。 相应的打印机固件然后可以确定该标志是否存在，并且如果存在，将阻止打印不包括要在MICR字体中打印的至少一个字符的打印作业。 这样可以防止MICR墨粉浪费在不需要MICR墨粉的文件上，例如正常的办公通讯。

    Abstract: A computer automatically selects a device, such as a printer, over a network for the computer to use without a user having to provide the network address of the device. The computer identifies a group of devices connected to a network that meet certain pre-determined criteria. The computer then selects the device from this group that has the lowest uptime. This device is assumed to be the device the user wishes to configure their computer to use. After the device is selected, the computer then can operate to configure itself to use the device.

    Abstract: A method for authorizing device interaction includes requesting, from a connected device, authorization data from a remote service. At the connected device, authorization data is received and then passed with an authorization prompt to a user interface device. From the connected device, a user interface device response to the prompt is passed to the remote service. At the connected device, authorization setting data is received and stored. The authorization setting data has a value determined according to the user interface device response and is useable by the connected device to determine authorization for subsequent connected device interaction with the remote service.
