Abstract:
A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for analyzing operational sensor data of a device collected by a mobile endpoint device operating with the device are disclosed. For example, the method includes receiving the operational sensor data, a time stamp, a location of the device and a device identification (ID) from the mobile endpoint device, wherein the operational sensor data is collected by the mobile endpoint device from the device when the mobile endpoint device initiates a communication session with the device and transmitting the operational sensor data to a management service, wherein the operational sensor data is analyzed to determine a cause of a failure of the device when the device fails.
Abstract:
A method of encrypting information using a computational tag may include, by a mobile electronic device, detecting a computational tag within a near field communication range of the mobile electronic device, identifying a document to be encrypted by the mobile electronic device, transmitting the document to the computational tag by the mobile electronic device, receiving, from the computational tag, an encrypted document, wherein the encrypted document comprises an encrypted version of the document that was to be encrypted, and storing the encrypted document in a memory of the mobile electronic device.
Abstract:
In a system for detecting location of an object inside of a building, an image capture device of a mobile electronic device captures an image of a boundary of a room in which the portable electronic device is positioned. The system extracts features of a boundary (ceiling, wall or floor) in the image to determine whether the mobile device is in a known location. When the system identifies a known location, it will take an action that provides the portable electronic device with additional functionality at the identified known location. Such functionality may include connecting to a wireless network or communicating with a stationary device at the known location.
Abstract:
A method of printing a document from a mobile device coupling the mobile device to a print device. The method may also include launching a tap-to-print application software on the mobile device in response to the coupling, identifying a document to be printed via the tap-to-print application, and transmitting the document to be printed to the print device by the tap-to-print application. The tap-to-print application does not modify an operating system of the mobile device.
Abstract:
A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and apparatus for delivering a document obtained on a remote network that is disconnected from a protected network are disclosed. For example, the method receives the document at the remote network that is disconnected from the protected network, stores the document on the mobile endpoint device, detects a presence of the protected network, delivers the document to a repository on the protected network and deletes the document from the mobile endpoint device.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device of a first device detects a pattern of taps made with a wireless communication device of a second device. A processor of the first device automatically interprets the pattern of taps as a command from a plurality of tap pattern-based commands. Functional elements of the first device automatically perform an operation corresponding to the command to fully execute the command based only on the pattern of taps. Each of the taps comprises the distance between the first device and the second device changing from a first distance to a second distance and returning to at least the first distance within a predetermined period of time, and the first distance is at least twice as large as the second distance. Also, different patterns of taps represent different commands of the tap pattern-based commands.
Abstract:
Embodiments described herein are directed to a virtual repair of digital media using a virtual repair service. Digital media stored on a digital media device is read using a media player. A request is received by a virtual repair unit from the media player to perform a virtual repair of a segment of unreadable digital content of the digital media. The virtual repair unit retrieves a readable copy of the digital content corresponding to the segment of unreadable digital content identified in the request from a media repository using the virtual repair unit. The virtual repair unit transmits the readable copy of the digital content to the media player for insertion into a buffer of the media player.
Abstract:
A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and apparatus for incorporating additional content in a document at a time of processing are disclosed. For example, the method initiates a request to process a document, receives an option to include one or more additional content to the document, selects at least one additional content to add to the printed document from the endpoint device at the time of processing, defines at least one access control of the at least one additional content and sends the request to process the document, wherein the at least one additional content is incorporated into the document that is processed and the at least one additional content has the at least one access control.
