  • Publication number: 20240036777
    Abstract: A user interface works with a conflicts engine and print driver to check and prevent conflicts between the attributes related to job settings of a print job. Constraints are defined by the printing device. These constraints put limits on what can be printed. Job settings are selected for the print job by the operator using a user interface. Attributes related to the job settings are determined. Constraints are adjusted by values for the attributes. Potential conflicts are determined using the adjusted constraints and a property of the print job.

  • Patent number: 11831636
    Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to a system and methods for enabling a transfer of access rights for an electronic device between users. In embodiments of the system, a first user (e.g., a transferor) may, upon determining that access rights should be granted to a second user (e.g., a transferee), generate a transaction record. The transaction record may then be provided to a registry network, which may verify a digital signature of the transaction record as well as a current ownership status. Upon verification, the transaction record may be written to an ownership registry and a mobile application server may be notified of the transaction. Once notified, the mobile application server may transmit a device key to a user device associated with the transferee. Once the device key has been received at the transferee user device, it may be used to issue commands to the electronic device.
