System and method for tracking application information in customizable multifunction peripherals

A method comprising:

• controlling, via a document processing device controller, operation of an associated multifunction peripheral, including operation of a scanner engine and a print engine of the multifunction peripheral, in accordance with at least one user selectable application selected from a library of available applications;
• storing, in a memory, a plurality of user selectable applications for the controller associated with user modification of control of document processing device operations via the controller;
• storing, in the memory, a plurality of identified electronic customization groups, each customization group including a plurality of electronic customization documents, and wherein each customization group corresponds to a unique business type;
• storing, in the memory, a plurality of device customization data sets, each data set corresponding to document processing in the multifunction peripheral;
• generating, via a processor, indicia on a display identifying each of the plurality of customization groups by business type;
• receiving user selection data corresponding to a selected identified customization group selected from the indicia;
• generating, on the display, a customizations menu listing available customizations from the selected identified customization group;
• generating, on the display, a document processing options menu including document processing options corresponding to a portion of the device customization data construction sets associated with the selected identified customization group;
• receiving user selection data corresponding to commencement of at least one of the document processing options including completing a print operation of a selected one of the available customization on a print engine of the multifunction peripheral;
• determining, by the document processing device controller, when one or more of the user selectable applications is launched;
• and
• outputting, by the document processing device controller status data relative to monitored application launches to an associated server via the network interface.
