Systems, devices, and methods for determining a unique identifier associated with a resource provider based on a received first pairing request from the resource provider identifying the resource provider as available to one or more resource requestors, sending the unique identifier to the resource provider, receiving a second pairing request from a resource requestor, wherein the request comprises the unique identifier associated with the resource provider, and initiating a communication channel between the resource provider and the resource requester, wherein the initiating is based on the unique identifier.

Method and system for indirectly establishing a unique communication channel between a plurality of devices

A method is provided for managing a social network of devices. The method provides a non-transitory memory, a network interface, and a social network application. Network-connected local devices create user accounts in the social network and populate a user profile listing device characteristics. Some examples of device characteristics include model and serial number. A central server is then able to access the user profiles in the social network, and cross-reference user profiles to a first device characteristic. The central server sends queries via the social network to selected local devices matching the first device characteristic and receives responses to the queries via the social network from the selected local devices. Further, the central server may maintain a database, stored in a central non-transitory memory, of queries and responses cross-referenced to the local devices. A system is also provided for managing devices using a social networking application.

Computing devices for providing a web service interface to a communication layer of the smartcard reader.

Remote card reader access

A method is provided for temporarily disabling printer job language (PJL) commands in a printer device. In a printer device, an electronically formatted print job is accepted with embedded PJL commands. The method parses the print job, and in doing so, differentiates a first PJL command and a PJL disable command. The print job is automatically processed (as is conventional), while temporarily ignoring the first PJL command in response to the PJL disable command. In one aspect, the printer differentiates the first PJL command enveloping the print job, and the PJL disable command enveloping the first PJL command envelope.

Printer job language suspension

Presented herein are systems, methods, devices for imaging device event notification administration and subscription.

Event notification subscription

Aspects of the present invention comprise systems, methods and devices for providing document management through the use of an imaging device. Some aspects relate to transmission and receipt of imaging device user interface menu content from a remote computing device to an imaging device and document management functions performed on documents received through the imaging device. In some embodiments, document management functions are provided through a remote computing device in communication with an imaging device.

Methods and systems for imaging device document management

A system and method are provided for securely accessing imaging job resources in a printing device. The method initially downloads a restricted software resource to a printing device. That is, the resource is restricted to use by a user group. As differentiated from factory installed software, or field upgrades, the restricted software resource is stored in a user-accessible memory, such as non-volatile storage (e.g., RAM). Subsequently, an imaging job is accepted for processing. The imaging job is verified to be associated with the user group. Subsequent to verification, access is permitted to the restricted software resource, and the imagining job is processed using the restricted software resource.

System and method for securely accessing downloaded print job resources

Aspects of the present invention relate to systems, methods and devices for imaging device event notification, administration and subscription. Some aspects relate to a subscription application executable on a remote computing device, wherein the subscription application may generate and send a subscription request. Some aspects may limit notification subscription to authorized credential holders. Some aspects relate to event notification message formats and destinations.

Methods and systems for imaging device event notification subscription

Embodiments of the present invention comprise systems, methods and devices for exposing imaging device functions to an application.

Methods and systems for imaging device control

Aspects of the present invention relate to systems, methods and devices for imaging device event notification administration and subscription. Some aspects relate to selective imaging device event notification based on user credentials and/or job execution timing. Some aspects may limit notification subscription to authorized credential holders. Some aspects relate to event notification message formats and destinations.

Methods and systems for obtaining imaging device event notification subscription

Aspects of the present invention relate to management and modification of documents stored on a remote computing device via a user interface on a local imaging device. Some aspects relate to the use of user input at an imaging device to modify document content. User input at the imaging device may include identification of a user characteristic and selection of a document stored on the remote computing device. After modification, the document may be sent to the imaging device or another destination.

Methods and systems for imaging device remote form management

Aspects of the present invention relate to systems, methods and devices for imaging device event notification administration and subscription. Some aspects relate to selective imaging device event notification based on user credentials and/or the occurrence of a specific event. Some aspects may limit notification subscription to authorized credential holders. Some aspects relate to conditional event notification based on the occurrence of a specific event identified in the notification request.

Methods and systems for imaging device notification access control

Methods and systems for obtaining imaging device notification access control

Aspects of the present invention relate to systems, methods and devices for interacting with a remote computing device from an imaging device. These aspects may comprise remote computing devices configured to communicate with imaging devices, imaging devices configured to communicate with remote computing devices and systems comprising various combinations of remote computing devices in communication with imaging devices.
