Abstract:
A method, a non-transitory computer readable medium, and a hardware device for protecting sensitive data with controlled external access. The method including: connecting a hardware safe to an external system; transferring a third-party program with an authorization policy to the hardware safe from the external system, the authorization policy configured to provide the third-party program access to one or more files and/or data fields stored on the hardware safe; executing the third-party program on the hardware safe to obtain a result in a predetermined format; and transferring the result in the predetermined format to the external system.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for improving power savings by accelerating suspend and resume operations. The apparatus having a main integrated circuit, the integrated circuit having a context area, a context snooper, and a context cache, the context area configured to store context change information, the context snooper configured to monitor the context change information, and the context cache configured to store at least a portion of the context change information being monitored by the context snooper; and a memory, the memory configured to receive the at least a portion of the context change information from the context cache upon a suspend process signal to the main integrated circuit, to retain contents during the main integrated circuit suspend, and restore the at least a portion of the context change information to the context cache and/or the context area upon a resume process signal to the main integrated circuit.
Abstract:
A method implemented in a data processing system including an image forming apparatus for producing a print job, which includes the steps of: (a) receiving data representing a document to be printed in the print job; (b) receiving job information about the print job; (c) determining if the job information includes an instruction to print multiple copies of the document in a collated order; (d) forwarding the data representing the document to be printed in the print job to an external storage unit when multiple copies of the document in collated order have been requested; (e) retrieving the data from the external storage unit; and (f) printing the multiple copies of the document in collated order.
