Abstract: An example print supply includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The non-transitory computer-readable medium includes data. The data includes an indication of a schema for the data. The data also includes an indication of an identifier. The data includes an indication of a digital signature. The digital signature is usable to authenticate a type of the data, the schema, and the identifier. The print supply also includes a communication interface. The communication interface is to output the data from the non-transitory computer-readable medium.

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.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to receiving a request from an entity to be granted a new permission, identifying, within a hierarchy of entities, a lowest level manager with approval authority for the new permission, determining whether the lowest level manager with approval authority for the new permission has approved the entity to be granted the new permission, and, in response to determining that the lowest level manager with approval authority for the new permission has approved the entity to be granted the new permission, applying a policy statement associated with the new permission to the entity.

Abstract: In one example of the disclosure, subject audio data, indicative of a subject audio captured via a transducer during an operation of a subject electromechanical device, is accessed. Baseline audio data, indicative of a baseline audio captured during an operation of a baseline electromechanical device, is accessed. An electronic file that includes differences between the subject audio data and the baseline audio data is created.

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.

Abstract: A roaming device obtains an identifier for a network-enabled resource as a result of interacting with the network-enabled resource. The roaming device uses the identifier to obtain a link for the network-enabled device through a cloud service. The address is used to access and use the network-enabled resource using the cloud service.

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.

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.

Abstract: In some examples, a device authenticates a first consumable product installed in the device, sends a first identifier of the authenticated first consumable product over a network to an engine, receives, over the network from the engine, a list of identifiers for consumable products classified as non-authentic, and in response to installation of a second consumable product in the device that stores an identifier in memory, determines whether the identifier of the second consumable product matches one of the identifiers in the received list of identifiers.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described to determine authenticity of a consumable product. The determining of authenticity may include communicating with a listing engine that contains a list of identifiers for consumable products classified as non-authentic, installing a consumable product in a host device where the consumable product stores an identifier in memory, and determining whether the consumable product matches one of the identifiers.

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.

Abstract: An event relating to at least one device is received. A type of service for which the at least one device is registered is identified. An action to take in response to the event and the identified type of service is determined, the determining based on application of at least one rule that specifies different actions to take in response to the event for respective different types of services.

Abstract: A system (100) for associating a data collector (FIG. 2, 340-2) with a network account comprises a first computing device (FIG. 1, 115) to collect data associated with the use of a number of object devices (110-1, 110-2, 110-n) on a network, in which the first computing device creates a network account associated with a second computing device (FIG. 1, 105), and in which the system (100) assigns a filename (FIG. 12, 1205) to a data collector data packet (FIG. 2, 340-2), the filename (FIG. 12, 1205) comprising information related to the network account associated with the second computing device (FIG. 1, 105).
