  • Publication number: 20190146722
    Abstract: According to examples, content management may include receiving, at an on-premise location and from a cloud environment, instructions to perform an operation on content. The instructions may be previously received at the cloud environment and further evaluated at the cloud environment to determine, based on a plurality of policies associated with the instructions, whether to perform the operation using a cloud-based resource or whether to perform the operation using an on-premise resource that is at the on-premise location. In response to a determination, at the cloud environment, that the operation is to be performed using the on-premise resource, the instructions are forwarded from the cloud environment to the on-premise location. Further, content management may include performing, at the on-premise location and based on the received instructions, the operation on the content using the on-premise resource.

  • Patent number: 9798578
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to enabling native application capabilities. Some implementations may determine a set of object capabilities related to a source object stored in a remote third party repository. In some examples, the set of object capabilities represent at least one capability associated with the source object available to a third party application handling the source object. Some implementations may also determine a native application capability associated with the source object based on the determined set of object capabilities. Some implementations may also enable, in a native application, the native application capability for the source object.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9152437
    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, and systems are provided for dynamically installing an image processing filter. One method for dynamically installing an image processing filter includes starting to obtain image information by infrastructure of an image processing device and processing the obtained image information with an application. After starting to obtain image information, receiving an operating system (OS) application programming interface (API) allowing just-in-time (JIT) bytecode to be executed as a filter during processing the obtained image information.

  • Publication number: 20140233065
    Abstract: A system for proofing a product over a network comprising a first computing device (110) that receives a product from a user, an operation module (191) that analyzes the product for print intent parameters, and a second computing device (185) that allows a user to finalize the product through a three-dimensional visualization, in which finalization by the user of the product causes a contract to be established between the user and a selected print shop provider (115).

  • Patent number: 8438259
    Abstract: An accessory device is directly connected in a non-networked manner to an electronic device. The accessory device is to be used by a web application running on a computing device connected to the electronic device over a network. The accessory device has a shared context or an owned context. The shared context specifies that usage of the accessory device is shared among the web application and one or more other web applications. The owned context specifies that the usage of the accessory device is exclusive to the web application and not to any other web application.
