Abstract: The present disclosure discloses methods and systems for scanning a document at a scan capable device. The method and systems comprise receiving user credentials from a graphical user interface, displaying scan capable devices on a network, creating a shared network folder accessible to a scan capable device, sending a user credential corresponding to the shared network folder to the scan capable device, creating a selectable data entry on the scan capable device corresponding to the network folder, and upon selection of the selectable data entry, digitizing a document and sending the digitized document to the shared network folder corresponding to the selectable data entry.

Abstract: A system for performing multifunction device session management includes a multifunction device and a computer-readable storage medium that includes one or more programming instructions. The one or more programming instructions cause the multifunction device to detect by one or more sensors of the multifunction device an indication that a session is to be initiated, in response to detecting the indication that the session is to be initiated, initiate the session, retrieve a device policy associated with the multifunction device from a data store associated with the multifunction device, identify a condition from the device policy, monitor for the occurrence of one or more triggers during the session, wherein each trigger is associated with the identified condition in the device policy, and in response to detecting that one or more of the triggers have occurred at the multifunction device, perform one or more actions pertaining to completion of the session.

Abstract: An app maintains different multi-modal output signatures. Each multi-modal output signature contains instructions for transducer output with speaker output and/or display output. Also, each multi-modal output signature is unique and different from all other multi-modal output signatures. Further, each different multi-modal output signature corresponds to only one of many possible alerts that may be generated by a printer. The app is adapted to control the printer user interface system and/or a portable device user interface system, to output these multi-modal output signatures in coordination.

Abstract: Described herein is a method of processing location and level changes for managed devices, which includes a child device sensing a move to a new location and level in a tree structure including levels having different permissions and policies, and the child device receiving permissions and policies for the new location and level via a master clone file. Also described is a method of updating policies in a device in a fleet of image forming devices that includes identifying a setting in the device that should not be updated automatically, setting a respective flag associated with the identified setting, thereby indicating that the setting is not to be updated automatically, receiving a file with updated policy values, and updating settings of the device according to the updated policy values except for the identified setting. Also described is a method for processing exemption requests in a fleet of image forming devices.

Abstract: A system displays hierarchical data via a graphical user interface in a concentric ring structure. Data elements of adjacent cells in any two rings will share a parent-child relationship. Data elements will be associated with metadata that the system uses to determine a visual representation, such as font type, color, or other features. As various filters are applied, the visual representation may change as the system applies the filter to the metadata.

Abstract: A system displays hierarchical data via a graphical user interface in two or more concentric ring structures. Each ring structure will display data from a unique data set. One of the data sets may be an earlier or later version of another one of the data set. Two or more ring structures will be presented so that when a user selects a cell of one ring, that cell will move to the center of both rings, and the displayed rings will be synchronized as the user navigates through the data.

Abstract: An automatic tab displaying and maximum tab storing UI assembly for use on a digital imaging machine includes a display device having (i) a selectable screens each having a different user interactive information sets and a screen selection tab having a visible outline, a first surface size, and tab identification markings; (ii) a first display area for displaying at least one screen of the selectable screens; and (iii) at least a second display area for containing all the selection tabs of the selectable screens.

Abstract: In a network-based input scanning system, wherein a sender scanning a hard-copy document at a scanner sends the resulting image data to an electronic mail address, the scanner appends an electronic mail address of the sender in the “From:” space of the electronic mail message. In this way, status messages or other responses to the electronic mail message bearing the image data are directed to the sender's computer, and not only to the scanner itself. The identity of the sender is determined by a network-login step the sender uses to access the scanner.
