A mobile data processing method, in which a request for performing a data processing job by a data processing device is initiated from a user of a mobile device. A device code of the mobile device in association with the user is transmitted to the data processing device. The user is authenticated by the data processing device. Whether the device code of the mobile device is identifiable by the data processing device is determined. An entry of the data processing job in association with the user and the device code of the mobile device is created in the data processing device if the device code of the mobile device is identified by the data processing device. The data processing job is executed if the entry of the data processing job is created and stored in association with the user and the device in the data processing device.

Mobile data processing having secured association with multifunction device

Systems, methods, and devices for associating an image forming device and a mobile device receive, at a first device, a request to establish a connection with a second device; generating an optically-readable code that encodes a first set of data, wherein the first set of data includes first key-derivation data; display the optically-readable code of the first set of data; establish a communication channel with the second device; receiving a second set of data from the second device via the established communication channel, wherein the second set of data includes second key-derivation data, and wherein the second key-derivation data is generated in response to receiving the first key-derivation data at the second device; and determine the common key from the first key-derivation data and the second key-derivation data.
