Abstract: A printing system receives a graphic document having a security area. The graphic document identifies a secure color to print in the security area. The graphic document is converted for printing by a printing engine of the printing system. This converting substitutes a secure patterned color in place of the secure color. The specific printing engine prints the printing bitmap to output a printed version of the graphic document with the secure patterned color in the security area. The security area of the printed version of the graphic document has a color appearance, and the secure color does not identify the type of security feature within the secure patterned color.

Abstract: Methods and systems for transparently extending a multi-function device onto a mobile communications device. The mobile communications device and the multi-function device can be securely connected utilizing a random code displayed on a user interface of the MFD. An extensibility application associated with the MFD can be transparently combined with an execution environment of the mobile communications device to offer a number of services. A hardware and software resource of the MFD and the mobile communications device can be combined to perform composite operations involving data from both devices. The connection can expire after a period of inactivity and require physical proximity to be established to prevent unwanted access to the MFD. Such an approach establishes a shared extensibility framework for the multifunction device and the mobile communications device as a single execution environment.

Abstract: A method and system for establishing secure communication between a MFD (Multi-Function Device) and a mobile communications device. A virtual private network (VPN) connection can be established between the mobile communications device and the MFD via a rendezvous server utilizing a random displayed code on a user interface of the MFD. An application with respect to the mobile communications device can be started by the user to connect to the MFD and the displayed code can be read by the mobile communications device utilizing an image capturing unit associated with the mobile communications device. The connection key presented by the mobile application can be validated by the rendezvous server. The rendezvous server can be polled for an incoming traffic and the traffic can be forwarded to a service hosted by the MFD utilizing an application running on the MFD.

Abstract: The present application relates to a method and system for storing higher resolution images during capture and storage of a movie comprising lower resolution images.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for an image processing system including a threaded scheduler providing compact and efficient dataflow as a pipeline management and data flow layer.

Abstract: Descriptions can describe or contain document contents and layout. Some contents can be images and, instead of being included as image data in the description, can be image references. An image reference can be used to obtain an image, in the form of image data, from an image server. A printer can print the document after obtaining needed images from image servers. The image data often contains an image whose resolution does not match the resolution that the printer can properly print in the document. The image server can prepare image data with the correct resolution or can stream image data through a data connection to the printer in a hierarchical image format. A printer can receive a stream of hierarchically formatted image data until a desired resolution is reached and then simply close the data connection to cut off the stream of image data.
