A business method includes imaging documents with an imaging device placed at a location. Media usage is monitored over a cellular network. Upon the media reaching a predetermined level, workers provide additional media. Workers exist in the “gig” economy and have preplaced media. No longer do users change or swap media in media trays. Packaging materials bundle the media. For use, only a portion of the packaging materials is opened thereby revealing an end of the media. Both the packaging materials and the exposed media are inserted into a reusable media shell in a manner making the media available for picking by the imaging device. Other embodiments are envisioned.

An image processing apparatus may include a processor including a processing unit, a creating unit, and an output unit. The processing unit stores image data created by executing a job in a storage unit. The creating unit creates an information code representing information indicating a storage area of the storage unit in which the image data is stored. The output unit displays the information code created by the creating unit on a display unit.

A mobile terminal improved in operability concerning fax transmission. A CPU of the mobile terminal sets information indicative of a fax transmission destination, sets reading and transmission information concerning fax transmission and original reading, and sends a request for fax transmission, to an image forming apparatus. When a response notifying capability of fax transmission is received from the apparatus, the CPU causes a message for prompting a user to set an original, to be displayed on a display section. When the original has been set and an instruction for fax transmission from the user is received, the CPU sends an instruction for reading the original and executing fax transmission, together with the transmission destination information, and the reading and transmission information, to the apparatus. The CPU causes a result of fax transmission by the apparatus to be displayed on the display section.

A method includes: receiving or capturing an image comprising an identity document (ID) using a mobile device; classifying the ID; analyzing the ID based at least in part on the ID classification; determining at least some identifying information from the ID; at least one of building an ID profile and updating the ID profile, based at least in part on the analysis; providing at least one of the ID and the ID classification to a loan application workflow and/or a new financial account workflow; and driving at least a portion of the workflow based at least in part on the ID and the ID classification. Corresponding systems and computer program products are also disclosed.

A document processing device, a document processing system, and a data processing method for the same are introduced. The document processing device utilizes an exclusive user identification information and an exclusive phone number information. After obtaining a document image, all the document image, the exclusive user identification information and the exclusive phone number information are used to generate document image file information. The document image file information is transmitted to a remote storage through a mobile network. Since the document image file information is directly sent by the document processing device to the remote storage according to the unique user identification and unique phone number information through the mobile network, not only can the cumbersome and complicated configuration process be avoided, but also the risk of information theft can be reduced, thereby improving information storage specificity, confidentiality, and security.

A system for transmitting images. The system comprises a first camera having a first camera module having a first sensor configured to capture a first image, the first image including a timestamp, an SD card configured to store the first image, a plurality of light-emitting diodes, a first display configured to display the first image, a first plurality of buttons associated with the first display, and a first communication module programmed to transmit the first image through a low-power communication network. The system further includes a home node configured to be powered by a second plurality of batteries. The home node includes a second communication module programmed to receive the first image from the first communication module over the low-power communication network, a second display configured to display the first image, and a second plurality of buttons associated with the second display.
