Patent number: 9762548Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus are provided for controlling encrypted data stored on a remote device. In particular, a remote device includes a storage controller device that can receive a “secure hide” command from an administrator device via a cloud server. If the storage controller device determines the “secure hide” command is validly signed, then the storage controller device executes the secure command by erasing the end user's public decryption key from the storage controller device. At that point, end user access to the encrypted data on the remote device is highly improbable.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2015Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: WESTERN DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Thomas Cocotis, Zvonimir Bandic

Patent number: 8065357Abstract: A system and method for managing output such as printing, faxing, and e-mail over various types of computer networks. In one aspect, the system and method provides for accessing print and/or document resources located on private networks behind firewalls. A pass-through communication link is established between system components located on opposing sides of a firewall. A system-served user-interface enables users to select source data and an output device on which the source data are to be printed, either or both of which may reside behind the firewall. The source data are then retrieved and forwarded to a print service, which renders output image data corresponding to the source data and the selected output device. The output image data are then submitted to the output device to be physically rendered. Access to private resources is provided by the pass-through communication link. The system also enables documents to be printed by reference.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2006Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: Kyocera Mita CorporationInventors: Thomas A. Cocotis, Alan D. Curtis, David M. Emmett, Shengkuo Fan, Kristofer P. Henderson, Jack W. Luepke, Howard J. Nellor, Jay A. Treptow, Gregory H. Wong

Patent number: 8024398Abstract: A system and method for managing output such as printing, faxing, and e-mail over various types of computer networks. In one aspect, the method provides for printing via a wireless device. The system provides renderable data to the wireless device by which a user-interface (UI) may be rendered. The UI enables users to select source data and an output device on which the source data are to be printed. The source data are then retrieved from a local or remote store and forwarded to a print service, which renders output image data corresponding to the source data and the output device that was selected. The output image data are then submitted to the output device to be physically rendered. The user-interfaces enable wired and wireless devices to access the system. The system enables documents to be printed by reference, and enables access to resources behind firewalls.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2006Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Kyocera Mita CorporationInventors: Thomas A. Cocotis, Alan D. Curtis, David M. Emmett, Shengkuo Fan, Kristofer P. Henderson, Jack W. Luepke, Howard J. Nellor, Jay A. Treptow, Gregory H. Wong
