  • Publication number: 20220391149
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which may be stored instructions that when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to access first identification information associated with the apparatus and send a portion of the first identification information to a server. A list of second identification information may be received from the server having portions that match the sent portion of the first identification information. In some examples, the processor may determine that the apparatus is authorized to communicate apparatus data of the apparatus to a services provider server based on a determination that the first identification information matches a second identification information among the received list of second identification information. Based on a determination that the apparatus is authorized to communicate the apparatus data, the processor may communicate the apparatus data over a network to the services provider server.

  • Patent number: 10430127
    Abstract: In one example of the disclosure, for each of a plurality of printers of a printer fleet, identification data indicative of marking agent cartridges installed is obtained via a network. The identification data is caused to be stored in association with a fleet identifier for the printer fleet. A request for fleet installation information with respect to a first marking agent cartridge is received from a computing device. It is determined, based upon the identification data, whether a first marking agent cartridge was previously installed at a printer of the printer fleet. Determination data indicative of the determination is sent to the computing device.

  • Patent number: 10205596
    Abstract: Authenticating a consumable product based on a remaining life value includes determining whether an identifier stored in memory of a consumable product is listed in a device history and concluding that the consumable product is not authentic if the device is determined to have used the consumable product previously based on the device history and a current remaining life value associated with the consumable product indicates less use than a recorded remaining life value for the consumable product associated with the identifier in the device history.

  • Patent number: 10165133
    Abstract: In one example, a method for registering a printing device with a network-based service is described. The method may include a printing device receiving a print request, where the print request comprises an image, determining that the image includes a command to connect to a server of a network-based service to register the printing device with the network-based service. The method may further include the printing device connecting to the server in response to the command and receiving a verification from the server that the printing device is registered with the network-based service.

  • Publication number: 20180082310
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to identify regions including unauthorized products are disclosed. A processor is to access a request for verification of authenticity of a product transmitted from a remote computing device. The request includes verification data and location data. The location data is based on global positioning satellite information generated by the remote computing device at a time when the remote computing device generates the verification data based on a verification code printed on the product. The processor is to determine whether a particular region including the physical location has at least a threshold likelihood of being a region in which unauthorized products are available. The processor is to construct boundaries of the particular region to 1) have less than a first area and 2) include at least a threshold number of invalid requests for verification within the boundaries.

  • Patent number: 9825825
    Abstract: A system for associating a data collector with a network account includes a first computing device to collect data associated with the use of a number of object devices on a network. The first computing device creates a network account associated with a second computing device, and the first computing device assigns a filename to a data collector data packet. The filename includes information related to the network account associated with the second computing device. The information related to the network account is embedded within binary code of the data collector data packet.
