==IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING IMAGE FORMING PROCESS PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240211191 titled 'IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING IMAGE FORMING PROCESS PROGRAM

The abstract describes an image forming device that provides a terminal device with an operation image, acquires a file to be printed, generates identification information for approving printing, and stores print data associated with the file and identification information.

* The device notifies the terminal device of the identification information and executes printing when the input identification information matches the stored identification information.
* This innovation streamlines the printing process by linking files to be printed with specific identification information for approval.
* By storing print data and identification information together, the device ensures efficient and secure printing operations.
* The device enhances security by requiring matching identification information for printing to proceed.
* This technology improves workflow efficiency and document security in printing operations.

Potential Applications:
- Office environments
- Printing services
- Document management systems

Problems Solved:
- Streamlining printing processes
- Enhancing document security
- Improving workflow efficiency

Benefits:
- Secure printing operations
- Efficient workflow management
- Enhanced document control

Commercial Applications:
"Secure Printing Device for Office Environments: Enhancing Workflow Efficiency and Document Security"

Questions about the technology:
1. How does the device ensure the security of the printing process?
2. What are the potential implications of this technology for document management systems?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

an image forming device according to an aspect of the present disclosure provides a terminal device with an operation image, acquires a first file to be printed from the terminal device, generates the first identification information that is identification information for approving printing of the first file to be printed, and stores a first object to be printed that is first print data obtained by converting the first file to be printed or the first file to be printed and the first identification information in association with each other. the image forming device notifies the terminal device of the first identification information, receives input of the identification information, identifies the first object to be printed corresponding to the first identification information when the identification information whose input is received matches the first identification information, and executes printing of the first print data of the identified first object to be printed.
