Patent number: 9998629Abstract: Approaches are provided for processing scan data based on a scan process definition (SPD) that defines a set of instructions for acquiring image data based on one or more printed documents. An SPD may include extension data that is used to store additional data in association with the scan data. An SPD may include rights management data that is used to provide security to the scan data that is generated based on the SPD. An SPD may be used as a print process definition for dictating how print operations are to be performed. An SPD may be associated with data that identifies one or more scan devices that are prohibited from using the SPD. An SPD may be associated with access delegation data that indicates one or more users who have been delegated access to the SPD.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2016Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Senthil K.

Patent number: 8749809Abstract: An approach is provided for managing printer driver settings. According to the approach, printer driver settings specified by a user for electronic data are maintained as a “print tag”. Print tags may be stored, either local to a client device or remotely to a client device, and later retrieved when electronic data is to be printed again. This allows printer driver settings to be maintained on a per electronic data, e.g., electronic document, basis and re-used any number of times. It also allows printer driver settings to be persistently maintained when the execution of application programs and print drivers is terminated or in the event of failures. Print tags may be shared among different users to allow multiple users to easily and conveniently use the same printer driver settings to print the same electronic data, without each user having to manually enter the printer driver settings.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2013Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventor: Senthil K.

Patent number: 8526020Abstract: Techniques are provided for allowing a print driver to recognize a paper size that is not supported by the print driver. A printing device informs the print driver (executing on a client device) that an input tray of the printing device supports a particular paper size. Alternatively, the printing device informs the print driver that a feature and/or option supported by the printing device has changed. The print driver requests the new paper size (or the set of features and options) from the printing device. The print driver receives the new paper size data from the printing device and updates its user interface to allow a user to select the new paper size as a supportable option.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2009Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Zhenning Xiao, Senthil K.

Patent number: 8520225Abstract: According to an approach for printing, a print driver is configured to retrieve printing device capabilities data from a Web service-enabled printing device. The printing device capabilities data specifies for a particular feature and a particular option supported by the Web service-enabled printing device, a plurality of languages in which the particular feature and the particular option may be displayed. The print driver generates, based at least upon the capabilities data, printer description data that specifies display data that indicates how the particular feature and the particular option are to be displayed, on a GUI, in the plurality of languages. In response to user input, the print driver generates, based at least upon the display data and language data that specifies a particular language, GUI data which, when processed, causes the particular feature and the particular option to be displayed on a GUI in the particular language.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2009Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Senthil K.
