    Abstract: A composite document comprises a publicly posted composite document including a plurality of parts, a map-file for each participant in a workflow associated with the composite document, and a set of encryption keys. The encryption keys are associated with at least one of the plurality of parts and distributed via the map file to the participants. At least one of the parts of the composite document, associated with the encryption keys, includes workflow processing instructions. The workflow processing instructions are enactable by the multifunction printer independent of a server and automate at east some steps of the workflow for participant at the multifunction printer via resident functions of the multifunction printer.

    Abstract translation: 复合文档包括公开发布的复合文档,其包括多个部分,与复合文档相关联的工作流程中的每个参与者的地图文件以及一组加密密钥。 加密密钥与多个部分中的至少一个相关联,并且经由地图文件分发给参与者。 与加密密钥相关联的复合文档的至少一个部分包括工作流程处理指令。 工作流程处理指令可由独立于服务器的多功能打印机实现,并在东方通过多功能打印机的驻留功能在东方自动化多功能打印机的参与者工作流程的一些步骤。

    Abstract: A method tor regulating production of an object, the method comprising allocating access rights and a production quota to a user, the production quota to be fulfilled on an authorised production device using an encrypted unique job token embedded or comprised within or derived from the object and associated with the user and production device, receiving a user request to produce the object at the authorised production device, authenticating the user, decrypting the encrypted unique job token using a private key of the user and a private key of the production device, determining whether the production quota for the user related to the object has been met and on the basis of the determination, authorising the user request to produce the object at the authorised production device.

    Abstract: A method for regulating document access, the method comprising providing a set of access keys for a user, respective ones of the keys providing different user access privileges for components of a composite document, selecting multiple nodes in a distributed storage system, distributing data representing N fragments of encrypted or unencrypted versions of the set of access keys and/or at least one of the individual keys and/or a symmetric key. K, associated with the user across N selected nodes of the distributed storage system, wherein the encrypted versions are encrypted using the symmetric encryption key. K, associated with the user, encrypting data relating to address information of the N selected nodes using a public encryption key of the user to generate a location object and storing the location object as a component of the composite document.

    Abstract: A controller for a fulfilment service operation is described in which the controller, before initiating fulfilment of the job, operates to determine if an authorised user is present at a fulfilment service device and to determine if the user intends to remain attendant at the fulfilment service device for the duration of fulfilment of the job. If the user moves away from the fulfilment service device, the controller operates to pause the job. If the user remains away from the fulfilment service device for a period of time, the controller operates to cancel the job.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method of performing a pull printing operation. In one example, the method comprises receiving at a source printer, from a client device, data defining a print job, wherein the source printer comprises a node of a decentralized distributed network of printers. The method then comprises storing the data in a plurality of printers, wherein the plurality of printers comprise nodes of the distributed network. The data is retrievable by a destination printer, wherein the destination printer comprises a node of the distributed network, to print the print job.
