Latest Patents
One of Kurumida's latest patents is a method of managing downloads in a network system. This invention streamlines the process of downloading print resource data to multiple printing devices connected to a server. The system identifies which print resource data needs to be downloaded and determines the appropriate printing apparatuses based on the type of storage device attached to each printer. If the data processing apparatus already holds the required print resource data, it is downloaded directly. If not, the data is acquired from the server. Additionally, the invention includes a mechanism for determining whether the downloaded data should be transferred back to the server based on a server flag.
Another notable patent involves an application charging system and information processing apparatus. This system charges users for application usage based on whether a file created by the application undergoes an output process. This innovative approach allows users to prepare files without incurring fees unless they proceed to output the file.
