  • Policy-based printing system using graphical codes at printing devices for split-printing methods
    Patent number: 11144262
    Abstract: A policy-based printing system is implemented to allow access to a private domain to print using a public domain. The private domain includes private servers that store documents. The public domain includes servers and a printing device. A public policy server uses a domain list and a protocol connection with a private authentication server to validate a user and identify which private domain to access. The public policy server receives requests from the printing device to process a print job of a document in the private domain. The public server may associate a public personal identification number (PIN) with a corporate PIN for the printing operations and a graphical code, such as a QR code, at a printing device. In the event of split printing, the public server generates another public PIN for use with another printing device having another graphical code.

  • POLICY-BASED PRINTING SYSTEM AND METHODS USING A PROXY DEVICE
    Publication number: 20210311679
    Abstract: A policy-based printing system is implemented to allow access to a private domain to print using a public domain. The private domain includes private servers that store documents. The public domain includes servers and a printing device. A public policy server uses a domain list and a protocol connection with a private authentication server to validate a user and identify which private domain to access. The public policy server receives requests from the printing device to process a print job of a document in the private domain. A proxy printing device is created to manage a plurality of printing devices and communicate with the public policy server. The proxy printing device corresponds to a condition within the printing devices.

  • System and method for implementing policy-based printing operations using identification numbers
    Patent number: 11137954
    Abstract: A policy-based printing system is implemented to allow access to a private domain to print using a public domain using a corporate personal identification number (PIN) and a public PIN. The private domain includes private servers that store documents. The public domain includes servers and a printing device. A public policy server uses a domain list and a protocol connection with a private authentication server to validate a user and identify which private domain to access. The public policy server retrieves a policy from a private policy server that configures the parameters for printing using the public domain. The print job data is provided to a public file server until the public policy server confirms that the print job can be sent to the printing device.

  • AUTHENTICATION OF USER AT A DEVICE USING A MOBILE APPLICATION
    Publication number: 20210191675
    Abstract: An authentication system uses authentication tokens to allow access by third party applications to a printing device. A mobile device includes a mobile application that scans a graphical code to obtain identification information for the printing device. The mobile application requests that the third party application generate an authentication token. The mobile application stores the authentication token for the third party application and the identification information at a document processing platform, which is separate from the printing device or application. The printing device provides its identification information to the document processing platform to receive the authentication token. The printing device provides the authentication token to the third party application to establish a connection to process print jobs through the mobile device.

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACTIVATING AND EXECUTING HIDDEN FUNCTION ON A DEVICE
    Publication number: 20210044721
    Abstract: A printing device is implemented to activate a hidden function by inputting tap sequences on a tap screen. The hidden function includes displaying an icon of a title of a secret document on a display screen without showing the content of the secret document. A method for activating the hidden function using tap sequences is also disclosed. The method compares the input tap sequences with a plurality sets of predetermined codes, each of which corresponds to a hidden function. When the input tap sequences match one set of predetermined codes, the method activates and executes the hidden function. By executing the hidden function, the secret document is printed. The tap sequences are tapping actions that do not generate tangible symbols that are reviewable on the tap screen. By doing so, the confidential document is further protected.
