SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18486979 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system where a print service communicates with a document management service to authenticate users, acquire documents, and manage printing results for later charging. Here are some key points from the abstract:
- Print service relays authentication and document acquisition requests to document management service
- Document management service transmits authentication results, documents, and charge information back to print service
- Document management service stores and manages print result information in association with user accounts
- Document management service charges users for printing based on print result information
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries where document management and printing services are needed, such as offices, schools, libraries, and print shops.
Problems Solved
This technology streamlines the printing process by automating authentication, document acquisition, and charging, making it more efficient and convenient for users.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved document management, streamlined printing processes, accurate charging for printing services, and enhanced user experience.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include offering printing services to businesses, educational institutions, and other organizations that require efficient document management and printing solutions.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing document management systems that handle printing services, but may not have the same level of automation and integration with user accounts for charging purposes.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system ensure the security of authentication information and printing results during transmission between the print service and document management service?
The patent application does not provide specific details on the security measures in place to protect sensitive information during the communication process.
What types of documents can be acquired and printed using this system, and are there any limitations on document size or format?
The patent application does not specify the types of documents that can be acquired and printed, or if there are any restrictions on document size or format that the system can handle.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a print service relays an authentication request and a document acquisition request received from a multi-function printer to a document management service, and transmits authentication information and information of printing result acquired from the document acquisition request to the document management service. The document management service transmits a result of an authentication process, a document, and charge information to the print service based on a request received from the print service, stores and manages the information of print result received from the print service in association with a user account, and performs a process for charging a user for the printing later based on the information of print result.
