Intelligent electronic document content processing
First Claim
1. An image forming device comprising:
- one or more processors; and
a memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, the memory storing instructions which, when processed by the one or more processors, causes;
authenticating user data received by the image forming device, wherein the user data corresponds to a particular user;
determining electronic document data to be processed,retrieving, from a plurality of user preference data, particular user preference data that is specific to the user data and which specifies one or more types of confidential information and one or more actions to be performed on each type of confidential information,processing the electronic document data to identify, in the electronic document data, confidential information of one or more types that match the one or more types of confidential information specified by the particular user preference data that is specific to the user data and which specifies the one or more types of confidential information and the one or more actions to be performed on each type of confidential information, andautomatically processing the electronic document data based upon the particular user preference data that is specific to the user data and which specifies the one or more types of confidential information and the one or more actions to be performed on each type of confidential information and generating processed electronic document data by removing, from the electronic document data, the confidential information having one or more types that match the one or more types of confidential information specified by the particular user preference data and additional information adjacent to the confidential information.

Abstract
A network device includes a content processing module that is configured to perform intelligent document content processing, such as confidential information processing, content optimization and workflow optimization. The network device authenticates a user and determines electronic document data that is to be processed. The electronic document data may be created at the network device, e.g., by a scanning module on the network device, or at a client device, e.g., by a word processing application executing on the client device. The content processing module retrieves particular user preference data based upon the user authentication. The particular user preference data may specify confidential information preferences, content optimization preferences and/or workflow preferences. The content processing module performs intelligent document content processing on the electronic document data based upon the particular user preference data and generates processed electronic document data.
