Secure print job through mobile device ID
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
- receive a print input from a user on the computing device to execute a print job;
receive a user selection of a secure print job option on the computing device;
in response to receiving the user selection, request a mobile device ID from a mobile device of the user;
receive the mobile device ID from the mobile device;
generate a secure key based on the mobile device ID;
attach the secure key to the print job to create a secure print job; and
send the secure print job to a near-field communication (NFC) enabled printer.

Abstract
In an example implementation, a processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to request a mobile device ID (identification) from a mobile device, generate a secure key from the mobile device ID, attach the secure key to a print job to create a secure print job, and send the secure print job to a printer.

7. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a printer, cause the printer to:
-
display a secure print job list on a printer control panel; receive a user input via the printer control panel, from a user of a mobile device, selecting a secure print job from the secure print job list; generate a decrypted mobile device ID by decrypting a secure key attached to the selected secure print job; receive, over a near-field communication (NFC) interface of the printer, a mobile device ID from the mobile device; compare the decrypted mobile device ID with the received mobile device ID; and print the secure print job when the decrypted mobile device ID and the retrieved mobile device ID match. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A printer comprising:
-
a printer control panel; a processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the printer to; display a secure print job list on the printer control panel; receive a user input via the printer control panel, from a user of a mobile device, selecting a secure print job from the secure print job list; determine a decrypted mobile device ID by decrypting a secure key attached to the selected secure print job; receive, over a near-field communication (NFC) interface of the printer, a mobile device ID from the mobile device; compare the decrypted mobile device ID with the received mobile device ID; and print the secure print job when the decrypted mobile device ID and the retrieved mobile device ID match. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
