Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention comprise systems, methods and devices for translating documents through the use of an imaging device.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for processing digital documents using a print application manager. The method comprises: receiving a digital document in a raw file format from a network client at an MFP; determining the file format; recognizing a print application corresponding to the determined file format; accessing a registry of network-connected service providers cross-referenced to print applications; sending the digital document to a service provider with the recognized print application; receiving a print application-rendered digital document from the service provider; and processing the rendered digital document at the MFP. Typically, selecting a service provider from the registry includes: identifying a plurality of service providers cross-referenced to a particular print application; and selecting the service provider using a random or round-robin algorithm.

Abstract: An MFP text overlaying system and method are provided. The method comprises: accepting a document, either in paper media or electronic format; accepting a text overlay message; merging the overlay message with the document; and, creating a merged document. Typically, the product is a paper media merged document. Alternately, the merged document may be transmitted to another node for additional processing. More specifically, accepting a document may include: accepting a paper media document; converting the document to rasterized data; and, generating a first image. Accepting an overlay message may include: accepting an electronically formatted overlay message; converting the overlay message to a Page Description Language (PDL) file; processing the PDL file as a print job; and, generating a second image as rasterized data. Then, the overlay merger process includes: adding the first image to the second image; and, generating a third image.

Abstract: A stored resource overlay system and method are presented. The method comprises: at a MFP, accepting a document, either in tangible form to be copied, or as an electronically formatted scan job; accessing a resource file stored in permanent storage; converting the resource file into an image; merging the image with the document; and, creating a merged document in an electronic format. The saved resource file may represent an image type such as a logo, background, signature, border, graphic, picture, or overlay for example. After accepting the document, it is converted to a rasterized data first image. Likewise, the image, converted from resource file in permanent storage, is supplied as a rasterized data second image. Then, merging the image with the document includes: adding the first image to the second image; and, generating a rasterized data third image. The resource file in permanent storage may be saved in a PDL format for example.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for securing network-connected resources. The method comprises: receiving an electronically formatted job at a first network-connected node; receiving CK, a symmetrical encryption key (K) encrypted using an asymmetrical encryption public key (pubK); and, receiving CH, a hash (H) of the job, further encrypted using K. Then, the method: decrypts CK using an asymmetrical encryption private key (privK), corresponding to pubK, to recover K; hashes the job, generating H?; uses K to validate CH; in response to validating CH, decrypts an encrypted resource using K; and, uses the decrypted resource to process the job. In one aspect of the method, using K to validate CH includes: encrypting H? using K, obtaining CH?; and, matching CH to CH?. Alternately, K is used to validate CH by: decrypting CH using K, generating H; and, comparing H to H?.

Abstract: A printer device control system and method are provided that is responsive to a document's print content. The method comprises: establishing a library of vocabulary terms; establishing a library of executable programs; accepting a document for printer processing; classifying print content in the document, by matching print content in the document to vocabulary terms in the library; mapping between the library of vocabulary terms and the library of executable programs; and, executing a program in response to the print content classification. The library of vocabulary terms may include terms such as key words, symbols, word patterns, or data patterns. The library of executable programs may include executable programs such as sending reports of the document to a recipient, blocking the document print process, logging the document print process, updating a database, archiving the document, or executing a file to initiate additional document processing, to name a few possible examples.

Abstract: An embedded system configured to reduce volatile memory usage by loading individual software components is disclosed. The embedded system includes a processor, volatile memory in electronic communication with the processor and non-volatile memory in electronic communication with the processor. The non-volatile memory includes an operating system, a loader application, a loading table and multiple individual software components. The non-volatile memory also includes loading instructions that load and start the operating system. The loading instructions also load and start the loader application. The loading table is then examined to determine which of the individual software components are to be loaded into the volatile memory. Next, each of the individual software components that are to be loaded as indicated in the loading table are loaded into the volatile memory.
