Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for event management, allowing authorized users or authorities to distribute and display communications on digital displays. In one aspect, an event management communications system receives event data sent from a detection system comprised of a network of sensors. The event management communications system processes the event data to determine an event perimeter, and then selects one or more digital displays based upon the event data or the determined event perimeter. Next, the event management communications system authors one or more contextual communications corresponding to the one or more digital displays and sends said one or more authored communications to said one or more digital displays, thereby allowing the one or more digital displays to display the corresponding one or more communications to a relevant, identified audience.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed include systems and methods for computer automated print services control comprising authenticating a user credential input via a user device. The system and method includes generating, by a printer driver comprised in the user device, a user interface comprising features supported by a plurality of printing devices. Further, it includes receiving via the user device over the network, a print instruction comprising the features supported by the plurality of printing devices connected to the computer system over the network. And based on the print instruction, generating a print job in an embodiment. Further, based on the user authentication at one of the plurality of printing devices, converting via a gateway, the received print instruction into a format compatible with that printing device and releasing the generated print job for printing at that printing device, according to an embodiment.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed include a computer-automated system including a processing unit coupled to a memory element and having instructions encoded thereon, the instructions cause the system to: via a network, receive a document in a first format, and via an assessment engine, determine the first format of the received document. The assessment engine is also configured to determine if the determined first format can be converted to a second desired format for printing or display, and if the determined first format can be converted to the second desired format, a conversion engine is caused to convert the received document to the second desired format. If the determined first format cannot be converted to the second desired format, a network routing engine routes the document over the network to a cloud-based conversion engine.

Abstract: A computer automated system and method comprising configuring a single or plurality of mobile devices over a network, validating the configured devices, and communicating contextual information to the configured devices. The devices are authenticated and the authentication is sent to a server over the network, when a contextual service, controlled/offered by the server through a contextual service point in communication with the server, is invoked by the configured mobile device in the vicinity of the contextual service point. The mobile device is then enabled to consume a contextual service, offered by and delivered at the contextual service point, either from within the mobile device or over the network.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed include a platform for collecting, normalizing, aggregating, and presenting/processing data over a wide range of devices, machines and applications in real-time, in a wired or wireless networked framework. An embodiment includes a computer automated system and method for aggregating data from a plurality of devices and applications. Embodiments disclosed further include a system and method for normalizing data from a plurality of devices and applications, for canonical-izing all normalized and aggregated data, and via a graphical user interface, combining the aggregated and normalized data, and displaying the combined data in a display compatible format. The computer system is further configured to abstract a plurality of classes of devices via a data modeling language comprised in the configuration of the computer system.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed include computer automated systems and methods for aggregating data from a plurality of data sources, such as proxy devices, legacy protocols, devices, applications, machines, sensors, things across locations and user types, or device clouds among devices and applications. The aggregated data is then normalized and the normalized data is analyzed. The analyzing is based on a correlated event or events, a correlated condition or conditions, and a correlated trend or trends across the plurality of data sources. And based on the analyzed data, relevant aggregated and normalized data is combined and displayed in a display compatible format. Additionally, user needs are determined based on the analyzed aggregated, normalized data. The user need comprises a need for an item or items comprising at least one of a service, a product, and an upgrade of hardware or software components.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for event management, allowing authorized users or authorities to distribute and display emergency communications on digital displays. In one aspect, an emergency management communications system receives event data sent by an emergency detections system comprised of a network of sensors. The emergency management communications system processes the event data to determine an event perimeter, and then selects one or more digital displays based upon the event data or the determined event perimeter. Next, the emergency management communications system authors one or more emergency communications corresponding to the one or more digital displays and sends said one or more emergency communications to said one or more digital display, thereby allowing the one or more digital displays to display the corresponding one or more emergency communications to the affected populations.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems for dynamic configuration and control of multi-function peripherals. A method comprises exposing a unified application programming interface (API) for operating a plurality of MFPs, receiving a first set of instructions from an application according to the API, the instructions directed to a first MFP; receiving a second set of instructions from the application according to the API, the instructions directed to a second MFP; translating the first set of instructions according to the native set of instruction of the first MFP, and sending the translated instructions to the first MFP; translating the second set of instructions according to the native set of instructions of the second MFP, and sending the translated instruction to the second MFP; thereby allowing the application to communicate with the first and second MFPs according to a unified API.
