Abstract:
A method and system for managing documents, where the system includes a document manager server connected to image processing devices and to applications via a network. The document manager server receives identification information from the image processing devices and transmits information relating to network applications to the image processing devices. This information is then used to change the functionality of the image processing device.
Abstract:
A method and system for providing back-up server functionality in an image processing system. Upon detecting that a primary server is unavailable an image processing device switches processing operations to a back-up server configured to receive information from the image processing device. The back-up server is configured to have substantially similar configuration and operate similarly to the primary server.
Abstract:
A method and system for multi-factor user authentication on an image processing device. The system includes a server used to authenticate a user, and to retrieve user information corresponding to user identification data. The user information is transmitted from the server to an image processing device, and processed by the image processing device. The processed image data can also be encrypted by using encryption information input to the image processing device.
