Abstract: Approaches are provided for processing scan data based on a scan process definition (SPD) that defines a set of instructions for acquiring image data based on one or more printed documents. An SPD may include extension data that is used to store additional data in association with the scan data. An SPD may include rights management data that is used to provide security to the scan data that is generated based on the SPD. An SPD may be used as a print process definition for dictating how print operations are to be performed. An SPD may be associated with data that identifies one or more scan devices that are prohibited from using the SPD. An SPD may be associated with access delegation data that indicates one or more users who have been delegated access to the SPD.

Abstract: Approaches are provided for managing scope of and access to network services. In one approach, a source device and a target device are each provisioned with a service connector that is configured to communicate with a service manager that executes on a device that is different than the source and target devices. Using its service connector, the source device is able to discover a network service hosted by the target device even though the source device and target device are in different subnets or networks. In another approach, a service manager limits which network services are visible to a source device even though the network services are hosted on target devices that are on the same subnet as the source device. In this approach, the source device uses a service connector to discover the service manager and receive a list of registered services hosted on one or more target devices.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for determining whether to allow certain operations to be performed with respect to a device based on a location of another device. One technique involves receiving a request from a first device over a network; in response to receiving the request: determining a location of the first device; based on the location of the first device relative to a second device that is different than the first device, determining whether to allow one or more operations to be performed on particular data with respect to the second device; in response to determining, based on the location of the first device relative to the second device, to allow the one or more operations to be performed on the particular data, allowing the one or more operations to be performed on the particular data.

Abstract: A compatibility evaluation apparatus for evaluating compatibility between a platform program and an application program that uses interfaces provided by the platform program, includes an application analyzing unit configured to analyze the application program and extract a list of the interfaces used by the application program; an incompatibility interface usage determination unit configured to extract, from the list of the interfaces used by the application program, an interface that corresponds to an incompatible interface that does not satisfy a specification, the interface being extracted with the use of a first storage unit storing information indicating contents of incompatibility for each of the incompatible interfaces among the interfaces provided by the platform; and a compatibility report creating unit configured to record, in a second storage unit, the information indicating contents of incompatibility for each interface that has been extracted by the incompatibility interface usage determination u

Abstract: A technique involves receiving a request for certain data to be processed by a device and determining, based on an attribute of the device, whether to allow an operation to be performed on the data; after allowing the operation to be performed on the data: sending, to the device, a request for one or more characteristics of the device; in response to the request, receiving the one or more characteristics from the device; storing, based on the one or more characteristics, a second attribute that is associated with the device; after storing the second attribute: receiving a second request for second data to be processed by the device; determining, based on the second attribute of the device, whether to allow an operation to be performed on the second data; determining to not allow the second operation to be performed, wherein the device is capable of processing the second data.
