Abstract: An approach provides feature-based access to an application executing on a Multi-Function Peripheral (MFP) using an activation server. An activation server includes the capability to create, manage, and activate product keys that are specific to a particular MFP and a subset of features supported by the application executing on the MFP. The application allows user access to the subset of application features that corresponds to its respective product key, and the subset of application features may be changed over time, for example, to add or remove features. Features may include functionality implemented on and/or by an MFP, as well as functionality that is external to an MFP, for example, provided by third party services.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing an MFP device with access to external Web services. According to embodiments, an application registration application executed at a multi-function peripheral device receives a registration request to register a particular application with an activation server. The particular application uses at least one external Web service. In response to receiving the request, a device identification of the multi-function peripheral device is obtained; a verification request comprising the device identification number is generated, and the verification request is transmitted to the activation server to cause the activation server to generate and send a response to the application registration application. If the response indicates that the multi-function peripheral device has not been registered with the activation server, a message is displayed on a display of the multi-function peripheral device. The message may recommend purchasing a license for using the particular application.

Abstract: An approach is provided for creating and managing pricing models and subscriptions for packages of computer-implemented applications. As used herein, the term “package” refers to a logical entity that has one or more member computer-implemented applications, where each of the member computer-implemented applications provides one or more services. One or more pricing models may be assigned to a package and made available to subscribers and the pricing models assigned to a package may be changed. Users may subscribe to one or more packages of computer-implemented applications and incur charges based upon the pricing models assigned to the packages of computer-implemented applications to which the users subscribe. Embodiments include providing a graphical user interface for service providers to create and manage packages of computer-implemented applications, define pricing models and to manage pricing model assignments for packages of computer-implemented applications. Embodiments also include providing a graphical user interface for subscribers to view available applications and packages in a “marketplace” and to subscribe to packages of computer-implemented applications and manage their subscriptions.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for processing scheduled and secured print requests. In one embodiment, a printing device receives a notification form a network service that a request to print an electronic document has been received. The printing device determines whether the request indicates secure printing of the electronic document. In response to determining that the request indicates secure printing of the electronic document, the printing device prompts, through a user interface, a user for a release code. In response to receiving the release code, the printing device sends the release code to the network service. The printing device receives, from the network service, access data that allows for retrieval of the electronic document. The printing device downloads the electronic document based on the access data received from the network service and generates print data for the electronic document.

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.

Abstract: A remote MFP GUI application allows a user to use a GUI of mobile device to specify features and options to be used to perform one or more functions at an MFP, instead of, or in addition to, using the user interface of the MFP. The remote MFP GUI application generates selection data that specifies the features and options specified by the user and causes the selection data to be transmitted to the MFP. The user then completes performance of the one or more functions at the MFP. Features and options specified by a user via the GUI of mobile device may be stored as a “UI profile.” UI profiles may be specific to a particular MFP, designated as a default UI profile for multiple MFPs, and may also be specific to a user. UI profiles may be created, edited, stored, retrieved and deleted.

Abstract: Approaches are provided for processing scan data based on a scan process definition (SPD) that defines a set of instructions for acquiring image data based on one or more printed documents. An SPD may include extension data that is used to store additional data in association with the scan data. An SPD may include rights management data that is used to provide security to the scan data that is generated based on the SPD. An SPD may be used as a print process definition for dictating how print operations are to be performed. An SPD may be associated with data that identifies one or more scan devices that are prohibited from using the SPD. An SPD may be associated with access delegation data that indicates one or more users who have been delegated access to the SPD.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating and updating locked print data. An apparatus receives from a first device, document identification data that identifies an electronic document to be printed. In response to receiving the document identification data that identifies an electronic document to be printed, a print preview and a release code for the electronic document are generated. The apparatus sends the print preview and the release code to the first device. The apparatus receives, from a printing device, the release code and print criteria that indicate one or more portions of the electronic document to be printed. The one or more portions of the electronic document comprise less than the entire electronic document. In response to receiving the release code and the print criteria from the printing device, the apparatus provides, to the printing device, print data that includes the one or more portions of the electronic document.

Abstract: An approach is provided for tracking the processing of electronic document data by network services. One or more network services receive, from a network device, such as a multi-function peripheral (MFP), electronic document data that represents one or more electronic documents. A trace network service determines whether tracing has been specified for the electronic document data. In response to determining that tracing has been specified for the electronic document data, the trace network service tracks the processing of the electronic document data by the one or more network services. The trace network service generates trace report data that indicates results of the processing of the electronic document data by the one or more network services. The trace network service also transmits the trace report data to one or more specified recipients.
