  • Patent number: 12292996
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to provide transient access rights to entities for creating, accessing, and/or sharing digital health content (DHC). In an illustrative example, a health content distribution system (HCDS) may generate a time-limited access token (TLAT) for authenticated users to access DHC. The TLAT, for example, may be generated based on a predetermined association of a corresponding DHC with a patient, a predetermined association of a requestor with the patient, a predetermined role of the requestor with relation to the patient, and a predetermined association between the requestor and a creator of the content. The TLAT may be further generated based on a predetermined association between the requestor and an organization associated with the patient. The HCDS may, for example, upon receiving the TLAT, transmit the corresponding DHC to be displayed at the requestor's device. Various embodiments may advantageously provide a secure on-demand health content access system.

  • Patent number: 12284168
    Abstract: A multifunction peripheral (MFP) includes user selectable functions that call home applications on the device that direct it to work cooperatively with cloud service providers. To avoid requiring users to login to each cloud service each time they use it, they are registered with an authorization server to establish and grant identity and authorization tokens. When a user logs in to an MFP, they are redirected to login to the authorization server which then sends tokens to the MFP identifying the user and their permissions and licenses. Home applications associated by the tokens are displayed for selection. Each time a home application using a cloud service is selected, a background application sends the user's session tokens with a service request to an associated cloud service resource server. The resource servers processes authenticated requests and return the result to the MFP which completes the selected home application function.
