Patent number: 8156424Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to systems, methods and devices for imaging device dynamic document creation and organization. Some aspects relate to imaging device dynamic document creation and organization, wherein a document format, a dynamic field structure and document static content are selected on an imaging device user interface and combined to form a dynamic document on the imaging device. Some aspects of the present invention relate to imaging device dynamic document creation and organization, wherein dynamic document menu options are sent to an imaging device from a remote computing device.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2005Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc.Inventors: Roy K. Chrisop, Tanna Marie Richardson

Patent number: 8120802Abstract: A system and method are provided for securely accessing imaging job resources in a printing device. The method initially downloads a restricted software resource to a printing device. That is, the resource is restricted to use by a user group. As differentiated from factory installed software, or field upgrades, the restricted software resource is stored in a user-accessible memory, such as non-volatile storage (e.g., RAM). Subsequently, an imaging job is accepted for processing. The imaging job is verified to be associated with the user group. Subsequent to verification, access is permitted to the restricted software resource, and the imagining job is processed using the restricted software resource.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2006Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc.Inventors: Roy K. Chrisop, Lena Sojian, Andrew Rodney Ferlitsch

Patent number: 7936472Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention provide for a direct submit application module adapted to process image-only portable document format (PDF) documents, encrypted PDF documents, and image documents. The DSA, based on an output device's features or capabilities, adaptively performs host-based emulation so as to provide users with an expanded set of features, which may not be supported by an output device. In some embodiments, the DSA may perform an image-bypass PDF processing, perform processing on an image document so as to provide an expanded set of image formats, and/or perform decryption, if appropriate, on encrypted PDF documents.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2006Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Rodney Ferlitsch, Roy K. Chrisop

Patent number: 7770022Abstract: A method for securing an imaging job is disclosed. An access control function relating to a document is performed. An auditing function relating to the document is also performed. An imaging job from the document is then generated. Content of the imaging job is encrypted such that a downstream non-content dependent process will still properly process the imaging job. After encryption, a recipient decrypts the encrypted content. Non-destructible information is encoded into the imaging output. Residual data that relates to the imaging job is erased.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2004Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc.Inventors: Andrew R. Ferlitsch, Roy K. Chrisop

Patent number: 7719708Abstract: An effective method for securing the release of the transmission, rendering, and outputting of an imaging/print job at an imaging device, for imaging/print jobs that originate in traditional print/spooling subsystems include the following steps. A print job header is associated with an imaging/print job to form a headed imaging/print job. A secured release input (that may be input at a secured release input apparatus of the client host device) is associated with the print job header by including a secured release indicative command/code in the print job header. The headed imaging/print job is divided into data packets. Initial data packet(s) are transmitted to the imaging device. It is determined whether the secured release indicative command/code is present in the initial data packet(s). Acceptance of subsequent data packets of the headed imaging/print job are prevented if the secured release indicative command/code is present in the initial data packet(s).Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2005Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Rodney Ferlitsch, Roy K.

Publication number: 20090326728Abstract: A method for controlling power usage on a device is described. A job is received at a device. The job is classified as an on-demand job or as a non-on-demand job. The job is placed on an on-demand job queue if the job is an on-demand job. The job is placed on a non-on-demand job queue if the job is a non-on-demand job. The on-demand job queue is processed. The non-on-demand job queue is processed only during an off-peak period.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2008Publication date: December 31, 2009Applicant: Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc.Inventors: Roy K. Chrisop, Andrew Rodney Ferlitsch

Patent number: 7590979Abstract: An embedded system configured to reduce volatile memory usage by loading individual software components includes a processor, volatile memory in electronic communication with the processor and non-volatile memory in electronic communication with the processor. The non-volatile memory includes an operating system, a loader application, a loading table and multiple individual software components. The non-volatile memory also includes loading instructions that load and start the operating system. The loading instructions also load and start the loader application. The loading table is then examined to determine which of the individual software components are to be loaded into the volatile memory. Next, each of the individual software components that are to be loaded as indicated in the loading table are loaded into the volatile memory.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2002Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc.Inventors: Daniel L. Klave, Roy K. Chrisop, Lena Sojian

Patent number: 7133166Abstract: A document printing system and methodology wherein plural, potentially useable printers are reviewed in a preliminary discovery process to assess (1) which ones are currently available for use, and (2) of these, which have the best-suited operational characteristics relative to a particular printing job. The latter “collection” of printers is then treated as a cluster to which a scanned document is appropriately sent for implementation of that job.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2002Date of Patent: November 7, 2006Assignee: Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc.Inventors: Andrew R.
