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: - Streamlining image processing tasks - Enhancing data security through VPN connection
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in handling images - Enhanced security for data transmission
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Image Processing Device for Secure Data Handling" This technology can be used in offices, libraries, and other institutions where document scanning and secure data transfer are essential. It can also be valuable in industries where data security is a top priority.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the VPN processing unit ensure secure authentication for VPN connections? 2. What are the potential limitations of the image processing device in terms of scalability and compatibility with different systems?
