Abstract: Techniques for managing access to a physical area are provided. In one technique, first data is extracted from a digital file. Based on identification data within the first data, a database is searched. A data item in the database is identified that matches the identification data. The first data is associated with the data item. After associating the first data with the data item, code data is generated. Encoded data that encodes the code data is then generated. The encoded data is sent over a computer network to a mobile device, or an account, of a user that is associated with the data item.

Abstract: An approach provides sending captured Superbill image data and output data generated based on results of parsing the captured Superbill image data to an external system which manages Superbill data via a cloud system and a storage service. The cloud system creates parsing rule data for parsing a captured Superbill image in accordance with user operation at a client device. The cloud system obtains captured Superbill image data from the storage service, in response to receiving a notification indicating that the captured Superbill image data has been stored in the storage service. The cloud system parses the obtained image data based on the created parsing rule and generates output data based on results of parsing. The cloud system sends the generated output data and the obtained image data to the external system via the one or more computer networks.

Abstract: Techniques for obtaining health data from a health kiosk information system and notifying users according to pre-registered notification rules are provided. In one technique, a computing system (1) receives, over one or more computer networks, from a health kiosk information system, healthcare data including at least a healthcare value that is obtained by one or more health kiosks that are managed by the health kiosk information system, the health kiosk information system being distinct from the computing system; (2) reads, from a memory, notification rule data including a condition to be notified and a notification destination, the condition corresponding to the healthcare value; (3) determines whether the healthcare value that is included in the healthcare data is applicable to the condition included in the notification rule data; and (4) in response to determining that the healthcare value is applicable, sends a notification to the notification destination.

Abstract: Techniques for managing access to physical assets based on captured digital data and a database are provided. In one technique, one or more functions in an application that executes on a client device are locked. A smart badge that is associated with healthcare information is then received from a remote server system. In response to receiving the smart badge, the one or more functions are unlocked. After unlocking the one or more functions and in response to user input that selects a particular function of the one or more functions, a request and identification data that pertain to the particular function are transmitted over a computer network.

Abstract: An approach provides access to cloud services that are impractical or difficult to implement on end-user devices without a high level of programming skill and customization. The approach uses a first set of cloud services, referred to herein as Integrated Cloud Environment (ICE) cloud services, to access to a second set of cloud services, referred to herein as Smart Integration (SI) cloud services, on end-user devices. The ICE cloud services provide a user-friendly user interface for accessing the SI cloud services via an end-user device, implement the Application Program Interfaces (APIs) of the SI cloud services, and also manage results generated by the SI cloud services. The ICE cloud services also manage user information, authorization credentials and tokens needed to access third-party services. According to another embodiment, the SI cloud and the ICE cloud are integrated using direct linking, i.e., directly linking an end-user device to the SI cloud.

Abstract: A mobile device generates and transmits to a print cloud server application via email, a print cloud request that specifies information to be printed. The print cloud server application generates and assigns a print job to a printing device group that corresponds to the destination email address of the print cloud request. A user is authenticated at a printing device and the printing device generates and transmits, to the print cloud server application, a request for print jobs. The request for print jobs includes user information that identifies the user and data that identifies the printing device group for the printing device. The print cloud server application provides, to the printing device, data that identifies print jobs that correspond to both the user information and the printing device group. The user selects one or more of the print jobs and the selected print jobs are released to the printing device.

Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) is presented, which visually aggregates information from various information source systems to facilitate management of health-based safety practices in the workplace. Specifically, the methods and systems described herein visually aggregate information from at least a location information system and a health kiosk information system in a GUI. Specifically, a visual aggregation application includes, in a GUI, a map of a monitored physical area that displays health-interaction values for respective humans, associated with displayed location indicators, occupying the monitored physical area. According to an embodiment, the application includes, in the GUI, alerts of enhanced-risk distancing criteria violations in the monitored physical area. An enhanced-risk distancing criteria violation is an instance of distancing criteria violation between two or more humans in the monitored physical area, where one or more of the humans is also associated with a health warning.

Abstract: An image and metadata for the image are received. The metadata includes image identification data. A first graphical user interface is generated and displayed for a user. The image is displayed in a first portion of the first graphical user interface. The metadata is displayed in a second portion of the first graphical user interface. One or more first interactive elements for processing the image and the metadata are displayed in a third portion of the first graphical user interface. Verification of whether the image is to be associated with the metadata is performed by: determining whether first input indicating a first request to associate the image with the metadata is received via one or more first interactive elements; and in response to determining that the first input is received: associating the image with the metadata; and transmitting the image in association with the metadata to a storage device.

Abstract: A mobile device generates and transmits to a print cloud server application via email, a print cloud request that specifies information to be printed. The print cloud server application generates and assigns a print job to a printing device group that corresponds to the destination email address of the print cloud request and generates and returns a release code to the mobile device. A user enters the release code at a printing device and the printing device generates and transmits, to the print cloud server application, a request for a print job. The request for a print job includes the release code and data that identifies the printing device group to which the printing device belongs. The print cloud server application releases the print job to the printing device if the printing device and the print job correspond to the same printing device group.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for printing a scheduled print job by a printing device connected to a client device over a network. The method includes transmitting, by the client device, a request to print the scheduled print job to the printing device. The scheduled print job include print data and schedule data corresponding to a scheduled time the print data is to be printed. The printing device obtains the print job from cloud storage or from local storage depending on a storage selection indicator, and executes the scheduled print job at the scheduled time. A determination is made as to whether the scheduled print job was printed successfully at the scheduled time. Further, a message indicating whether the scheduled print job was printed successfully, based on the determination, is sent to a predetermined device.
