摘要:
A distributed system (1) allows marking devices (110) and the like to subscribe to and run device-centric services (140). A device model agent (120) allows the devices (110) to interact with service hosts (310, 410) of service providers (300) to automate supplies maintenance, user help, and services subscription and deployment (501-506, 510-516, 900-908). The device model agent (120) can be embedded in the devices (110), can be deployed in an add-on component (115) connected to the device (110), or can be run by a separate machine as a proxy (220). The device model agent (120) provides a run time environment (124) for services (140) available to the device (110), but with a common interface (via 130) and a common structure so that services can be written once and run in the device model agent (120) in virtually any deployment.

摘要:
A device independent color control server and control methods provide color consistency services and improve consistent color document appearance between any number of connected color image forming devices (140) and/or color display monitors (110) on a distributed network.
摘要:
A printing system accurately prints proprietary marks and selected colors. A dictionary of recognizable patterns and defined colors corresponding to the proprietary marks and selected colors is linked to a user interface wherein a user may designate a location within a document and at least one of the proprietary marks with defined colors from an accessible menu. A processor associates the defined colors with the image at the specified location and generates a printer signal representative thereof. Alternatively, the processor includes a pattern recognizer for identifying recognizable patterns within a document. The patterns have a likeness to defined patterns within a pattern dictionary and can be converted to the defined patterns for display or imaging.
