The reusable shipper container also has a tablet display screen detachably coupled to the container body that wirelessly communicates with the sensors in the payload chamber and that displays one or more of an electronic shipping label, packing instructions, return instructions and maintenance status.

Abstract: Generating personalized user interfaces includes receiving an indication of a user device in a proximity of an image forming device. Based on the user device, a system can determine a prediction of intent to use the image forming device by a user account associated with the user device and in response to determining the prediction is greater than a threshold, instructing the image forming device to provide an indicator corresponding to the user account.

Abstract: In some examples, an imaging device can include a processing resource and a memory resource storing instructions to cause the processing resource to receive an operating parameter corresponding to a business model, configure the imaging device based on the received operating parameter corresponding to the business model, and operate the imaging device according to the received operating parameter.

Abstract: A method comprises receiving, at a server from a communications-enabled device that includes processing circuitry, a request for providing a user session correlated with a user identifier (ID) and a target appliance. The method further includes in response to the request for the requested user session: retrieving a user attribute from a user-ID database that stores user ID information for a plurality of user accounts, and retrieving an appliance attribute from an appliance-ID database that stores appliance ID information; and correlating the retrieved user attribute and appliance attribute with the requested user session for a user account from among the plurality of user accounts. The method further includes transferring the requested user session to the target appliance as a new user session that is spatial-temporal limited and that is without the target appliance using user login information.

Abstract: To apply a security policy, described systems and methods receive an indication that a user account intends to interact with an image forming device. Based at least in part on attributes of the user account a risk level associated with enabling user account access to the image forming device is determined and a security policy to enable user account access is applied.

Abstract: An example imaging device includes a communication engine to transmit a broadcast message including a broadcast ID corresponding to the imaging device. The communication engine further is to receive a session token from a central server in response to a request for accessing the imaging device received from a user device in receipt of the broadcast ID. The session token is to connect the imaging device to a user session corresponding to a user of the user device. The imaging device further comprises a user authorization engine to obtain preliminary user details from the central server using the session token. The preliminary user details include a login ID and a user-selected authentication mode. The user authorization engine is to set-up a user login session using the preliminary user details for receiving user authentication approval from the central server to allow the user to access the imaging device.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a computing system, computer-implemented method, and computer readable storage media for predicting, for a consumer in a group of consumers assigned to a subset of consumers in a plurality of subsets at the present time, which subset the consumer will be assigned to at a predetermined time in the future. Further aspects of the disclosure relate to a computer-implemented method for determining the likelihood that consumers in a group of consumers will migrate between subsets in a plurality of subsets of consumers. Further aspects of the disclosure related to a computer-implemented method for determining an expected revenue for a group of consumers at a predetermined time in the future.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable storage media for training a model to estimate an unknown consumer behavior while preserving consumer privacy by combining a first training data set of a first organization with a second training data set of a second organization on a third-party computer system, wherein the second training data set contains an attribute value the first organization wishes to estimate, and wherein the first organization cannot access the third-party computing system, providing a trainable model definition to the third-party computer, training the model, and returning the trained computer model.

Abstract: A device hub system includes: a control unit configured to: generate a workroom for providing access to a workroom accessible resource, including an enterprise multifunctional printer, protected by a network firewall; provide authentication for a participant device to access the workroom; receive a workroom request through the workroom; generate a workroom sharable information from the workroom request; and a communication unit, coupled to the control unit, configured to distribute the workroom sharable information within the workroom.

Abstract: A display device includes a flat-panel screen, an image capturing module, an eye tracking module, a screen rotating and tilting module, a flat-to-curve emulation module, and a flat-to-curve mechanical module. The display device employs the flat-to-curve emulation module to transform a rectangular flat image displayed by the flat-panel screen to a pincushion-like flat image according to a user's eye position; therefore, it may automatically provide the “emulated” curved image according to the user's eye position so that a user may perceive a visual effect like seeing a curved image. The display device further employs the flat-to-curve mechanical module to bend the flat-panel screen into a curved screen according to the user's eye position to bend the flat image displayed by the flat-panel screen into a curved image; therefore, it may automatically provide the “real” curved image according to the user's eye position to enhance the visual effect.
