Patent number: 8572703Abstract: A system and method for authenticating a user of an image processing system. User credentials are received at an authentication device corresponding to an image processing device, and transmitted to a first server remote from the authentication device. The validity of the user credentials are judged by comparing the received user credentials to authentication information stored at the first server, and a result of the judging is transmitted to the image processing device. The image processing device then requests access to a second server remote from the image processing device, and the second server transmits a request for the user credentials to the first server. After receiving the user credentials from the first server, the second server performs user authentication.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2007Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Ricoh Americas CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Kitada, Lana Wong, Helen Wang, Weiyun Tang, Andrew Jennings, Revathi Vellanki

Publication number: 20090199133Abstract: Computer-readable media, computerized methods, and computer systems for generating a destination list from usage data captured at a data store and for rending destinations within a submenu area upon detecting a request from a user. Generating the destination list may involve selecting items from a listing of frequently used items, a listing of recently used items, or any other listing of items compiled internal to an operating system or provided by a target application. Typically, the items are selected according to configuration settings of the destination list. Rendering destinations within the submenu area may involve accessing the destination list by selecting a split button proximate to a presentation of an application launcher. Typically, the destination list references items managed by an application invoked by the application launcher. Destinations retrieved from the destination list are populated into the submenu area based on size characteristics thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2008Publication date: August 6, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: REBECCA J. DEUTSCH, RANDALL K. WINJUM, PATRICE L. MINER, Benjamin Betz, ANDREW JENNINGS
