Abstract: The methods and systems for direct printing at kiosks. The method includes: at an application accessible at a computing device: receiving a document from a user for printing and one or more print attributes. At a server communicatively coupled to the application, the method includes: calculating and displaying a cost for the printing the document based on the print attributes; providing a user interface to the user to input payment details; validating the payment details; encrypting the document with the payment details; and allowing the user to download the encrypted document in the form of a print job to a portable storage device. At a print workflow running at a kiosk, the method includes: receiving the portable storage device including the encrypted job; reading and decrypting the encrypted print job; and printing the job directly at the kiosk without requiring any input from the user.

Abstract: A system may automatically scan a physical document and perform processing actions on the scanned document according to a workflow. The system may include a scanning device that can detect a trigger event when a portable memory device is connected to or paired with the device or when a document, including one or multiple pages, is placed on the document handler of the device. Upon detecting the trigger event, the scanning device may retrieve the workflow and associated instructions from one or more designated folders on the portable memory device, automatically scan the document on the document handler to a digital document file, and perform various processing actions on the digital document file according to the workflow, with little or no user interaction. The processing actions may include storing, faxing, and emailing the scanned document, and/or performing certain document conversion functions on the digital document file.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments illustrate method and system for establishing a communication channel between computing devices in a customer care environment. The method includes receiving a first input from a customer-computing device associated with the customer. The received first input is compared with one or more pre-stored datasets. Based on the comparison, a plurality of options corresponding to each of a plurality of levels of one or more workflows is rendered on a user interface displayed on a display screen of the customer-computing device. A second input is received for one of the rendered plurality of options. The second input is representative of at least a preference of the customer for a service associated with a workflow. Based on at least the received second input, a communication channel is established between the customer-computing device and an agent-computing device associated with the customer care agent.

Abstract: What is disclosed is a system and method for securely sending a digital document to an intended recipient via facsimile transmission. A fax device is used to obtain a digital document to be faxed. A sender of the fax enters an access code into the fax device which is associated with the digital document. The digital document is transmitted by the fax device to a second fax device. The access code is communicated to an intended recipient who enters the access code into the second fax device. The second fax device retrieves the digital document associated with this access code and communicates the digital document to a print engine which renders the digital document to a hardcopy print.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a method and system of providing a supplemental user interface (UI) operatively associated with a device, such as a multifunctional device (MFD) or multifunctional printer (MFP). According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, an accessibility UI is provided by a portable computer device, e.g., off-the-shelf tablet, where the table includes a container application including a collection of walk-up user applications to operate the MFD, a set of tablet user environment' configuration applications and a set of helper applications that operate in the background and/or provide transitory screens, such as authentication for operating the MFD.

Abstract: A portable computing device is connected to another device that has an optical scanner and a facsimile modem. An application on the portable computing device causes the optical scanner to scan an item and causes the separate device to transmit the electronic image of the scanned item to the portable computing device. The application receives facsimile information into a graphic user interface of the portable computing device. Then, the application creates a facsimile file by combining the electronic image and the facsimile information. The facsimile file is transmitted to the separate device, and the application causes the separate device to send the converted electronic image as a facsimile using the facsimile information contained within the facsimile file. The portable computing device receives the result of the attempt to send the facsimile from the separate device, and this result is displayed on the graphic user interface of the portable computing device.
