A mobile computing device hosts an operating system and mobile applications. A provisioning application communicates with a secure element and near field communication (NFC) subsystem. It causes display of an interface for users to enter personal attributes for storage in the secure element. Users discriminately select items from their personal attributes for transmission to a third party recipient so only attributes relative to the third party are sent. Software, interfaces, methods, and apparatus typify the embodiments.

Provisioning user attributes for use with mobile computing device

It is a first aspect of the present disclosure to provide a computer implemented method of enabling, by a mobile device, a peripheral device connected to a network that includes establishing a connection with the peripheral device when the peripheral device fails to communicate with the network; querying the peripheral device for a document; receiving a document from the peripheral device; processing the document; and sending the processed document to the peripheral device.

Process enablement in network downtime condition

Methods and systems for tracking locations of a plurality of devices includes initializing a server with a site floor plan, receiving ranging information transmitted by one or more devices of the plurality of devices at the server, creating a multi-dimensional map of locations of the plurality of devices based on ranging information using a location engine, and calibrating the multi-dimensional map of locations to the site floor plan calibrated with geospatial coordinates. Upon movement of a device from a first to a second location, ranging information changes between devices and maps, relative locations and absolute locations are updated.

Systems and methods for location-aware imaging devices

A method for encrypting print jobs that includes receiving output data, encrypting the output data with a randomly-generated symmetric session key, generating a session key header by encrypting the randomly-generated symmetric session key using an asymmetric user public key, and encrypting the session key header using a server public key.

Print release with end to end encryption and print tracking

It is a first aspect of the present disclosure to provide a computer implemented method of enabling a peripheral device connected to a network during an inactive communication with the network, that includes activating an ad-hoc network connection with a mobile device during the inactive communication of the peripheral device with the network; transmitting a document to the mobile device for processing; receiving the processed document from the mobile device; storing the processed document in a memory of the peripheral device; and sending the processed document to a remote storage location once the peripheral device is determined to be actively communicating with the network.

A device, method, system and article for controlling an image forming device including removable RFID functionality. A print job may be received and a determination may be made as to whether the print job includes RFID data. The RFID data may be sent to a removable RFID module when RFID data is included in the print job. Media may then be provided to a first paper path defined in the removable RFID module when RFID data is included in the print job and provided to a second paper path defined in the image forming device. An image may then be formed on the media.
