International Classification:

G06K 710

US Classification:

23546201, 235494

Abstract:

In a bar code encoding process, two or more images and two or more data items may be encoded together to form a bar code image. A bar code image encoding two or more images and two or more data items may also be decoded to regenerate the encoded images and data items. In addition, the bar code image is preferably a visually significant image that resembles one of the images encoded in the bar code.

G10L021/00
B42D015/00

US Classification:

382112, 382100, 704275, 283 72

Abstract:

A method and system in which an electronic document corresponding to a hardcopy of the document is processed. A mark is placed on the hardcopy, the mark containing identification information of the electronic document. The hardcopy document is viewed by an image capture device that captures an image of the hardcopy document. The mark on the image captured by the image capture device is decoded to determine the identification information of the electronic document. The electronic document identified based on the identification information is then processed.

US Classification:

358 115, 358402, 358407, 358440, 709217, 709219

Abstract:

A method for providing automatic communication addressing comprising the steps of: locating a communication mark, if one is present, on a medium containing information; obtaining at least one address directly or indirectly from the communication mark; inputting the address into an address function of a communication device; and initiating a communication of the information to the address through the communication device.

Assignee:

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709248, 709220, 709221, 709222

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for determining an appropriate recalibration duty cycle. The method instructs a network connected computer peripheral to access one or more servers to retrieve a timestamp. Retrieved timestamps are used to calculate the elapsed time since the last trigger-event (e. g. , last calibration, printing activity, time of power-off, or the like). If the calculated elapsed time is less than a predetermined or dynamically determined threshold, the method instructs the peripheral to omit otherwise implemented calibration activities, e. g. , a power surge reboot.

Abstract:

A method for determining a warranty start date for a product has steps of determining a warranty start event and generating a warranty start date after occurrence of the warranty start event. The timestamp may be generated through a query to a time server on a network connected to the product. Preferred examples of warranty start events comprise first use by the user, and production of a specified cumulative quantity of product output. The warranty start event as well as the generated warranty start date are preferably stored on a memory internal to the product.

US Classification:

345762, 345866, 345744, 345746

Abstract:

A system and method define a user interface for a device. The user interface is any form of communication that provides information to the user. The user interface is input to the device. The user interface is stored in a location accessible by the device. The user interface is associated with a device event. When the device event occurs, the user interface is provided to the user.
