Embodiment Construction

[0011] The present invention is directed to systems and methods for configuring devices including scanners or imaging elements on a network. A scanner or imaging device may be an integral part of the device, or may be added to a device that does not normally have a scanner or imaging element for the purpose of providing simplified network configuration to the device as described herein. For example, the devices may be document scanners, all-in-one printers, copiers, and devices with 2D imagers such as cameras.

[0012] The system includes a computing component configured to execute a software application on a local processor or as a WEB application hosted by a device manufacturer. The application collects the desired network configuration information of the device as computer readable text, such as ASCII text, Unicode text or other text format (such as XML, HTML or any format that can be decoded by a computer). To obtain network configuration information, the application may ...

Abstract

The present invention is directed to systems and methods for configuring network devices that include native scanning or image-reading elements. Network configuration information is provided in a scannable image. A network device reads the scannable image and extracts configuration data from the image. The device then uses the extracted configuration data to configure the device to operate on a desired network.

Description

[0001] Related Application Cross Reference [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Non-Provisional Application No. 14 / 855,913, filed September 16, 2015, and said non-provisional application is hereby incorporated by disclosure in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention is directed to configuring embedded hardware controllers of devices containing native scanning or image reading elements, and in particular to configuring devices containing scanning or image reading elements using encrypted barcodes over a network , the encrypted barcode, scanned by the device, contains all the information necessary to complete the network configuration. Background technique [0004] Configuring embedded devices, such as office equipment, to work on a local or wide area network can be complex and may require manual installation or assistance from IT personnel. The need to deploy new devices on the network often drives enhanced Operator Control Panels (OCPs) a...
