摘要:
The subject application is directed to a system and method for automated document processing device login and accounting. Identification data corresponding to an identity of an associated user and accounting data corresponding to each of a plurality of billing accounts is communicated with an associated portable data storage. Data corresponding to each of the plurality of billing accounts is displayed, and selection data is received corresponding to at least one billing account corresponding to the plurality of billing accounts associated with the display of data. An associated document processing device is enabled in accordance with selection data and identification data received from the portable data storage. Usage of the document processing device is monitored relative to received selection data, and usage data corresponding to monitored usage of the document processing device with associated billing account data is communicated to an associated administrator.

The subject application is directed to a system and method for extensible document processing. The startup of a plurality of document processing services on an associated document processing device is controlled via a service startup manager. Each of the document processing services is then interfaced with a control system via a device level interface. Data is communicated between the device level interface and an external data processing device via an agent layer interface. The agent layer interface is registered with the service startup manager. A startup of the document processing device is then commenced in accordance with the control of the service startup manager. A document processing control display is generated on a user interface associated with the document processing device, with the display including indicia corresponding to one of the functions of the external data processing device according to the agent layer interface.

The subject application is directed to a system and method for generating formatted device reports from stored hierarchical device data. Electronic template data including a text data portion and a plurality of placeholder tags is received, wherein each placeholder tag includes data corresponding to a path in an associated, hierarchical data source corresponding to device characteristics of an associated multifunction peripheral device. Updated device data for the associated multifunction peripheral device is received into the hierarchical data source. Device data corresponding to each placeholder tag is retrieved and merged data into positions of the electronic template data in accordance with each corresponding placeholder tag so as to generate a formatted device report therefrom. A formatted device report is communicated to an associated administrator of the multifunction peripheral device.

The subject application is directed to a system and method for accessing a remote desktop via a document processing device interface. A thin client interface is generated on a graphical display associated with a document processing device, and data communication is established between the thin client interface and an associated remote frame buffer server disposed on a workstation via a document processing device network interface associated with a document processing device. A user interface associated with the workstation is generated on the graphical display via the thin client in accordance with an established data communication, user input is received via the thin client, and remote operation of the workstation is enabled via received user input.
摘要:
A system and method for selectively outsourcing document processing operations from a document processing device. The document processing device analyzes a submitted document processing job from a user and determines whether external devices are available and capable of performing some or all of the requested document processing operations. When external devices are available and capable, the document processing device performs any necessary local preprocessing and forwards information related to the document processing job to one of the external devices. The external device then processes the data and returns the processed data to the document processing device. The document processing device then performs any remaining document processing operations and the job is thereupon output according to the selected document processing operation.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a system and method for applying a unique output characteristic to each document in a document set. The system and method is for use with a document processing system wherein multiple copies of a document are generated and each copy of the document has a unique output characteristic which distinguishes that copy from the other copies of the document set. In one embodiment, each copy has at least one of a unique watermark inserted or applied to the copy or is generated on a unique output medium so as to distinguish such copy from the other copies in the document set.

The present invention is directed to system and method for providing a user with ease of document processing operation selection and ready assistance in retrieving information regarding the document processing operations and options available on a document processing device. The system provides a one-touch document processing operation selection screen, enabling a user to quickly and efficiently select a document processing operation. The system further includes an assistance request screen, allowing a user to request information regarding document processing operations and options. The document processing device receives from an associated user identification data. The user identification data is used to access an associated storage repository and retrieve a personalized display. The personalized display includes at least one icon. The icon represents a document processing operation that the user has previously executed. The user then is prompted, via a user interface, to select an icon corresponding to the type of document processing operation desired. The document processing device then performs the document processing operation immediately following the selection of the icon on the personalized display screen.
