Patent number: 11875071Abstract: The present disclosure discloses methods and systems for transferring rights, to release a secure print job from one user to another user. The rights to release the secure print job can be transferred based on a request from a primary user i.e., the user who submits the secure print job or based on a request from a secondary user i.e., the user who wants to release the secure print job on behalf of the primary user. Based on the request from any user, a multi-function device transfers rights to release the secure print job from the primary user to the secondary user. Here, transferring rights includes changing ownership of the secure print job from the primary user to the secondary user. Upon successful changing the ownership, the secondary user releases the secure print job originally submitted by the primary user.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventor: Srinivasarao Bindana

Patent number: 11800039Abstract: The disclosure discloses methods and systems for securing documents submitted for scanning at a device such as a multi-function device. The method includes scanning a document received from a user. A user interface is provided to the user to define a document type and to further define an access level for accessing the scanned document. Then, scanned data is generated. The scanned data is encoded based on a unique identity of the device and based on the access level such that the scanned data is accessible by the user and/or by one or more other users according to the defined access level. Finally, the scanned document is generated. Later when the scanned document is accessed by any user, details of the user accessing the scanned document is matched with details added in the encoded scanned data. Based on matching, the user is allowed to access the scanned document.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: XEROX CORPORATIONInventors: Srinivasarao Bindana, Ashok Jason Vedaraj, Shalini Kondore

Patent number: 11797767Abstract: The present disclosure discloses methods and systems for generating multiple scanned files when scanning a document. The method includes receiving a document for scanning from a user. Once received, a user interface is displayed to the user to input one or more keywords based on which multiple scanned files are to be generated. A single scanned file is generated in a pre-defined format. One or more pages having the keywords as input by the user are identified from the scanned file. Based on the one or more identified pages having the keywords input by the user, separate multiple scanned files are automatically generated. As a result, a single scan activity performed by the user generates multiple scanned files.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: XEROX CORPORATIONInventors: Srinivasarao Bindana, Dara N Lubin, Madhu Talapaneni

Publication number: 20230259161Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and a system for securing a user interface (UI) panel of a multi-function device. The method includes activating a retraction assembly, based on one or more retraction triggering conditions. Once the retraction assembly is activated, multiple components of the retraction assembly start functioning. At first, the UI panel is moved to a first position. Next, the UI panel is moved from the first position to a second position. Then, the UI panel in the second position is retracted into the multi-function device to secure the UI panel inside the multi-function device. This way, the UI panel is secured inside the multi-function device. Later, the retracted UI panel may be moved out of the multi-function device. To move the UI panel outside the multi-function device, the retraction assembly is activated again based on the one or more protraction triggering conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2022Publication date: August 17, 2023Applicant: Xerox CorporationInventors: Srinivasarao Bindana, Prasanth Kalaiselvan
