Patent number: 8194275Abstract: A class of add-on system components providing functionality of devices, management of self-help, customization and enhancement of services for devices, and remote monitoring at significantly reduced cost. It reduces the cost of UI and greatly enhances ease-of-use by realizing that the networked system can be headless and use a browser-based UI for its platform. It embeds a Device Model Agent (DMA) and connects to the Device-Centric Services platform to offer services. Additionally, it offers customized diagnostic access for customer representatives to enable self-help service actions to be performed, unifies and manages multiple access needs to several disparate data access mechanisms, and uses largely COTS PC hardware rather than customized PWBs.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2011Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Michael R. Furst, Loranzo Whitfield, Naveen Sharma, Ronald M. Rockwell, Tracy E. Thieret, Claude S. Fillion, Weixia Huang, Michael P. Kehoe, Arturo M. Lorenzo, Mary C. McCorkindale, Robert J.

Patent number: 7899950Abstract: Systems and methods for transmitting information from a multifunctional device to a centralized management server are disclosed. A method for transmitting information between a multifunctional device and a centralized management server includes collecting information from a multifunctional device using a wireless device; rendering the information secure using a secure functionality; and transmitting the secure information over a network to a centralized management server.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2007Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Arturo M. Lorenzo, Michael F. Cavanaugh, Jeffrey M. Novak, J. Roger Cortez, Charles M. Surowiec, Jr.

Patent number: 7734749Abstract: The Device Model Agent (DMA), the device side technology module in Device Centric Services (DCS) system, is the main focus of this invention. DMA is a thin, efficient applications/services execution environment. DMA provides an embedded services platform for enabling system management applications and services. This allows a flexible, extensible, dynamic services management module allowing networked services to be designed, added, and managed within the system without modifications to devices, DCS system, or DMA itself. While this invention specifically describes the integration of benefits from DMA into document system devices, the concepts are equally applicable in other domains. The DMA runtime environment is a thin software interface layer that resides on a document system device between the Java runtime environment and embedded web server.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2003Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Naveen Sharma, Michael R. Furst, Claude S. Fillion, Weixia Huang, Michael P. Kehoe, Arturo M. Lorenzo, Mary C. McCorkindale, Robert J. St. Jacques, Tracy E. Thieret, John C. Austin, Marc D. Daniels, Michael F. Cavanaugh
