Abstract: Method and systems maintain historical printing device information from a plurality of printing devices, maintain historical actions performed on the printing devices, and maintain historical print image quality produced by the printing devices within a storage medium of a computerized device. These methods and systems determine which of the historical actions increase the print image quality and which of the historical actions decrease the print image quality, using the computerized device. The methods and systems output an action effectiveness report from the computerized device. The action effectiveness report indicates which of the historical actions increase/decrease the print image quality.

Abstract: An approach is provided for cloud administrative management of spatial uniformity correction useful in printing. The approach involves determining, by a cloud administration system, an achievable gamut achievable by an imaging system for at least one of: all spatial locations of an output image, all print engines of a plurality of print engines, and at least one printer within a cluster of printers. The approach also involves determining, a mean gamut. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, a gamut mapping from the mean gamut to the achievable gamut. The approach additionally involves determining a set of transformations for each of a set of input colors to a set of target colors, the set of target colors selected from colors in the achievable gamut. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, an output image to be generated based, at least in part, on the transformed values.

Abstract: A locking system and method automatically lock a mobile phone in a manner that significantly reduces or eliminates unauthorized use of a mobile phone. The system includes a key lock which must have a key connected to the lock in order to move the lock from a locked condition to an unlocked condition and a power source switch that automatically de-activates the mobile phone whenever a power source of the phone is removed from the phone. The key lock must be moved into an unlocked condition in order to manually activate the phone after it has been de-activated, and the key must also be connected to the lock in order to manually de-activate the phone after the phone has been activated.
