Abstract
A system and method provides features for accessing an image processing device by an authorized user and assigning a temporary identifier to the image processing device. The image processing device creates mapping information that associates the authorized user, the temporary identifier and a network address of the image processing device, and stores the mapping information on a server. The user provides voice input commands to a personal assistant application, the voice input commands including the temporary identifier of the image processing device and a requested job functions of the image processing device. The server receives and interprets the voice input commands from the personal assistant application and determines, by recalling the mapping information stored, verifying whether the image processing device having the temporary identifier is available to perform the requested job functions. The image processing device receives instructions to perform the requested job functions and executes the requested job functions.
