Patent number: 9710619Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided. Some embodiments include initiating a scan operation to generate an electronic document representing a scanned physical document, encrypting the electronic document, storing the encrypted electronic document, and outputting a message. The message may include location information for locating the encrypted electronic document, a key for decrypting the encrypted electronic document, and restriction information indicating a restriction associated with the encrypted electronic document. Some embodiments include receiving the message, using the location information to obtain the encrypted electronic document, decrypting the encrypted electronic document using the key to generate an unencrypted electronic document, presenting an image of the unencrypted electronic document on a display of a computing system, and restricting availability of at least one function or feature of the computing system in accordance with the restriction information.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignees: Canon Information and Imaging Solutions, Inc., Canon U.S.A., Inc.Inventor: Nigel Patrick Brady

Patent number: 9591157Abstract: An image processing device is provided that generates a graphical user interface including at least one image element that enables receipt of a data value of a particular type therein, the graphical user interface being generated in response to selecting a processing job to be performed by the image processing device. The generated graphical user interface is mirrored to a mobile computing device by transmitting data representative of the graphical user interface to a mobile computing device via a short distance communication protocol. A return data object is received, via the short distance communication protocol, that represents a modified graphical user interface including the at least one image element having the data value of the particular type, the data value having been provided using mobile computing device.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2015Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignees: CANON INFORMATION AND IMAGING SOLUTIONS, INC., CANON U.S.A., INC.Inventors: Konstantin Uroskin, Nigel Patrick Brady

Patent number: 9451128Abstract: A mobile data processing method, in which a request for performing a data processing job by a data processing device is initiated from a user of a mobile device. A device code of the mobile device in association with the user is transmitted to the data processing device. The user is authenticated by the data processing device. Whether the device code of the mobile device is identifiable by the data processing device is determined. An entry of the data processing job in association with the user and the device code of the mobile device is created in the data processing device if the device code of the mobile device is identified by the data processing device. The data processing job is executed if the entry of the data processing job is created and stored in association with the user and the device in the data processing device.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2014Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignees: CANON INFORMATION AND IMAGING SOLUTIONS, INC., CANON USA, INC.Inventors: Manuel Pearson Ferreira, Craig Mazzagatte, Royce E.

Publication number: 20150288855Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided. Some embodiments include performing a login process wherein access to one or more resources on an image processing device is granted based on a credential associated with a user. A scan and send process is requested and initiated. A log out command is received during execution of the scan and send process and it is determined that execution of the process is in progress. A log out process that enables execution of the scan and send process to continue is performed. Data associated with the scan and send process is stored when execution of the scan and send process has terminated. The credential and an access request is received at the image processing device. Information about the scan and send process is presented on a display of the image processing device based on the data associated with the scan and send process.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2015Publication date: October 8, 2015Inventors: Jiuyuan Ge, Nigel Patrick Brady, Song Sheng Cang, Lance Yiuchong Leung, Kosuke Nakashima, Konstantin Uroskin
