Abstract: Techniques are provided for efficiently transferring documents (or files) between a client device and a WS-enabled device. A document is divided into a plurality of distinct chunks. Each chunk is packaged in a separate SOAP message. Each SOAP message includes a document identifier and a data transmission serial number (DTSN). The DTSN uniquely identifies a particular chunk of the document relative to the other chunks of the document. After one or more chunks of the document are transferred, the size of one or more subsequent chunks is adjusted based on changes in the client device, the WS-enabled device, and/or the network connection. Thereafter, each of the one or more subsequent chunks of the document is either larger or smaller than the one or more chunks that were already transferred.

Abstract translation: 提供了在客户端设备和启用WS的设备之间有效传输文档（或文件）的技术。 文档被分成多个不同的块。 每个块都封装在单独的SOAP消息中。 每个SOAP消息包括文档标识符和数据传输序列号（DTSN）。 DTSN唯一地标识文档相对于文档的其他块的特定块。 在传送文档的一个或多个块之后，基于客户端设备，启用WS的设备和/或网络连接的改变来调整一个或多个后续块的大小。 此后，文档的一个或多个后续块中的每一个都大于或小于已经传送的一个或多个块。

Abstract: A network device includes a content processing module that is configured to perform intelligent document content processing, such as confidential information processing, content optimization and workflow optimization. The network device authenticates a user and determines electronic document data that is to be processed. The electronic document data may be created at the network device, e.g., by a scanning module on the network device, or at a client device, e.g., by a word processing application executing on the client device. The content processing module retrieves particular user preference data based upon the user authentication. The particular user preference data may specify confidential information preferences, content optimization preferences and/or workflow preferences. The content processing module performs intelligent document content processing on the electronic document data based upon the particular user preference data and generates processed electronic document data.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing electronic documents is provided. A request, from a first user, to issue an alert to a second user that may have submitted a print request to the printing device is received at the printing device. The printing device may be attempting to process the print request submitted by the second user when the printing device receives the request from the first user. The first user may not know the identity of the second user. The printing device consults contact data that identifies how to contact the second user. The printing device thereafter issues the alert to the second user in accordance with the contact data. Upon receiving the alert, the second user is informed of the current condition of the printing device, e.g., the printing device may be experiencing a problem that prevents the second user's print request from being fully processed.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for managing multiple Web services on a single device. The device includes device metadata and a service manager. Each Web service registers with the service manager. Registration includes providing service metadata to the service manager. The service manager may generate (e.g., at least some) service relationship data based on the service metadata. The service relationship data indicates (either explicitly or implicitly) a relationship (e.g., a dependency) between a first Web service of the multiple Web services and a second Web service. In response to one or more criteria being satisfied with respect to the first Web service, the service manager uses the service relationship data and/or the device metadata to determine that one or more actions should be initiated with respective to the second Web service.

Abstract: The systems and method herein provide a design logic that extends Distributed Scan Management (DSM) by integrating the scan setting features of a network scanner with DSM and enhances DSM by providing a means for quickly locating Post Scan Processes (PSP) based on specified search criteria. In this regard, a network scanner is controllable via the PSPs of a DSM protocol. A user interface of the network scanner is operable to receive login information associated with a user that is used to grant access to one or more of the PSPs. The network scanner also includes a storage module operable to store scanner software instructions that direct a processor to determine whether the one or more accessed PSPs have settings that are overrideable and present the one or more accessed PSPs to the user for selection. The user may then override settings of a selected PSP via the user interface.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for implementing the WS-DeviceProfile standard as a multi-threaded process (“DFM”) executing on a multi-function peripheral (“MFP”). The DFM takes care of the discovery of devices and services on a network. The DFM also acts as a facility manager. The DFM implements various web services in a single component that applications can re-use. The DFM insulates these applications from some of the more complex details of the web services that the DFM implements. The MFP may comprise several different applications that each use web services provided by the DFM. The threads of the DFM can handle separate tasks concurrently. For example, one thread, of the multi-threaded DFM, may perform one or more functions specified by the WS-DeviceProfile protocol, while another thread may perform one or more functions specified by a WS-Discovery protocol.

Abstract translation: 提供了在多功能外设（MFP）上执行的多线程进程（DFM）实现WS-DeviceProfile标准的技术。 DFM负责在网络上发现设备和服务。 DFM也担任设施经理。 DFM在单个组件中实现各种Web服务，应用程序可以重用。 DFM将这些应用程序与DFM实现的Web服务的一些更复杂的细节进行了绝缘。 MFP可以包括几个不同的应用程序，每个应用程序都使用由DFM提供的Web服务。 DFM的线程可以同时处理单独的任务。 例如，多线程DFM的一个线程可以执行由WS-DeviceProfile协议指定的一个或多个功能，而另一个线程可以执行由WS-Discovery协议指定的一个或多个功能。

Abstract: Techniques and systems for controlling resources used by a device's web services applications are disclosed. In one technique, web services applications release their allocated resources and enter a “sleep mode” after being inactive for a specified period of time. In one technique, a device maintains a shared pool of memory resources. The pool contains data structures that web services applications are likely to re-use. Before allocating a new instance of a needed data structure from free memory, a web services application first determines whether the shared pool already contains a currently unused but allocated instance of a data structure of the needed type, and, if the shared pool does, then the web service application uses that instance, overwriting existing data in the instance as needed. Web services applications return such data structures to the shared pool when those web services applications are finished using those data structures.

Abstract translation: 公开了用于控制设备的web服务应用使用的资源的技术和系统。 在一种技术中，Web服务应用程序释放其分配的资源，并在指定的时间段内处于非活动状态后进入“睡眠模式”。 在一种技术中，设备维护共享的内存资源池。 该池包含Web服务应用程序可能重用的数据结构。 在从可用内存分配所需数据结构的新实例之前，Web服务应用程序首先确定共享池是否已经包含所需类型的数据结构的当前未使用但已分配的实例，如果共享池是，则 Web服务应用程序使用该实例，根据需要覆盖实例中的现有数据。 当这些Web服务应用程序使用这些数据结构完成时，Web服务应用程序将这些数据结构返回给共享池。
