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: 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.

Abstract: Methods and devices for initiating, by a client, a set of one or more applications, wherein each initiated application is associated with an Uniform Resource Locator (URL), and wherein the initiating is based on a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request to a computer host having a server. The methods and devices further executing an application from the set of one or more applications, based on a rule set, in a processing environment limiting the functionality of the initiated application, and wherein the application is executed in the background of an operating system of the server based on the rule set.

Abstract: An image sensor includes a plurality of pixel cells organized into rows and columns of a pixel array. A bit line is coupled to each of the pixel cells within a line of the pixel array. Readout circuitry is coupled to the bit line to readout the image data from the pixel cells within the line. The readout circuitry includes a line amplifier coupled to the bit line to amplify the image data and first and second sample and convert circuits coupled in parallel to an output of the line amplifier to reciprocally and contemporaneously sample the image data and convert the image data from analog values to digital values.

Abstract: An imaging node hosts a web server execution environment that exports document imaging services using server-side scripting. The web server execution environment receives Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests from a web browser and runs server-side scripts that resolve HTTP requests to native imaging services. A native imaging execution environment then executes the resolved native imaging services. Moreover, the web server execution environment can run server-side scripts that resolve HTTP requests to non-native imaging services and invoke the resolved non-native imaging services remotely as required.
