Abstract:
A secure document access method and apparatus is described. The method includes the steps of capturing contents of a document and generating a key from a cryptographic engine. The method may also include encrypting the contents of the document using the key. The encrypted document may be stored and the key may be encoded. The encoded key may be submitted to at least one authorized user for accessing the contents of the encrypted document. The encryption may be performed by a multi-function peripheral.
Abstract:
A method and system for automatically producing a page using frames of a video stream. A plurality of video frames from a video stream or clip are read, and multiple frames are extracted from the video stream, based on the content of each frame. Frames which neighbor the extracted frames in the video stream are also extracted, with the number of neighboring frames to be extracted being controlled by parameters provided to the page production system. The resolution of the images in the extracted video frames is enhanced, based on the information in each extracted frame and each respective extracted neighboring frame. The enhanced images are automatically cropped to enhance the important features in each image, and the cropped images are composed into one or more pages that are representative of the content of the video stream.
Abstract:
A method of automating a workflow includes transmitting, to a multifunction peripheral, information that identifies the name and a present state of the workflow at the multifunction peripheral. The method continues with accepting, by way of a user input to the multifunction peripheral, a modification to the workflow, and inserting the modification into the workflow at the multifunction peripheral.
