==IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18546974 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE

The abstract describes an image processing device with components such as an image processing unit, a UI unit, a VPN processing unit, and a housing. The image processing unit includes a printer and/or a scanner, while the UI unit is where user input actions are targeted. The VPN processing unit connects to a VPN using authentication information obtained through the UI unit. All these units are provided within the housing.

* Image processing device with printer and/or scanner
* UI unit for user input actions
* VPN processing unit for connecting to VPN
* All components housed together

Potential Applications:
- Document scanning and printing
- Secure VPN connectivity for data transfer

Problems Solved:
