  • Patent number: 9946532
    Abstract: An image processing device and control method that includes a processor and a memory storing a set of instructions that, when executed by the processor, controls the image processing device to receive a first data object representing a software update to be applied to the at least one peripheral device coupled to the image processing device. A communication mode switch message is generated to change a mode of communicating data between the at least one peripheral device and the image processing device and communicate the communication mode switch message to the at least one peripheral device. Currently active communication mode is disabled and a previously disabled communication pathway of the at least one peripheral device is activated as an update mode. The data representing the software update is transmitted via the update mode to apply the software update to the at least one peripheral device.

  • Patent number: 9924062
    Abstract: A system and method of authorizing one or more features of an application is provided. A first application having a first set of features that control one or more functionality of an image processing device and are always available and a second set of features controlling functionality different from that controlled by the first set of features and which require authorization to be operable. A second application executing on the image processing device includes data representing authorization parameters to selectively authorize one or more of the features in the second set of features. In response to detecting, by the second application, that a feature activation service is registered in an operating system of the image processing device by the first application, the second application communicates the authorization parameter data to the first application to authorize and make operable the one or more features of the second set of features.

  • Patent number: 9451128
    Abstract: A mobile data processing method, in which a request for performing a data processing job by a data processing device is initiated from a user of a mobile device. A device code of the mobile device in association with the user is transmitted to the data processing device. The user is authenticated by the data processing device. Whether the device code of the mobile device is identifiable by the data processing device is determined. An entry of the data processing job in association with the user and the device code of the mobile device is created in the data processing device if the device code of the mobile device is identified by the data processing device. The data processing job is executed if the entry of the data processing job is created and stored in association with the user and the device in the data processing device.
