Method and system of using IPv6 packet extensions to allow or prevent execution of a job based on physical location

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having a computer readable code embodied therein, which uses Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) packet extensions for execution of a job request based on proximity, the process comprising:

• receiving a job to be processed by a multi-function peripheral in an IPv6 packet, the IPv6 packet having a mandatory fixed header and optional extension headers, the mandatory fixed header comprising a source address, a destination addresses, traffic classification options, and a hop counter, and the optional extension headers having an IPv6 Destination Options extension header containing a physical location of a mobile client device;
• examining the IPv6 Destination Options extension header containing the physical location of the mobile client device on the multi-function peripheral;
• monitoring the physical location of the mobile client device;
• and
• executing the job if the physical location of the mobile client device is within a defined proximity to the multi-function peripheral.

A multi-function peripheral, which uses Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) packet extensions for execution of a job request based on proximity, the multi-function peripheral comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• receive a job to be processed by the multi-function peripheral in an IPv6 packet, the IPv6 packet having a mandatory fixed header and optional extension headers, the mandatory fixed header comprising a source address, a destination addresses, traffic classification options, and a hop counter, and the optional extension headers having the IPv6 Destination Options extension header containing a physical location of a mobile client device;
• examine the IPv6 Destination Options extension header containing the physical location of the mobile client device on the multi-function peripheral;
• monitor the physical location of the mobile client device;
• and
• execute the job if the physical location of the mobile client device is within a defined proximity to the multi-function peripheral.
