Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention comprise systems and methods for controlling an imaging device where the controlling application may be obtained by the imaging device from a storage system and provided to a hosted computing environment.
Claims20
A method for controlling an imaging device, said method comprising:
- a) initiating, from an imaging device, an examination of a storage system, wherein said storage system is communicatively coupled with said imaging device;
- b) detecting, from said imaging device, a controlling application residing on said storage system, wherein said controlling application controls at least one function of said imaging device;
- c) extracting said controlling application from said storage system;
- d) loading said controlling application on a hosted computing environment, wherein said hosted computing environment is communicatively coupled with said imaging device;
- and
- e) controlling said at least one function of said imaging device from said hosted computing environment using said controlling application.

A method for controlling an imaging device, said method comprising:
- a) initiating, from an imaging device, an examination of a storage system, wherein said storage system is communicatively coupled with said imaging device;
- b) detecting, at said storage system, from said imaging device, a location reference for a controlling application, wherein said location reference identifies the location at which said controlling application resides and wherein said controlling application controls at least one function of said imaging device;
- c) extracting said location reference from said storage system;
- d) retrieving said controlling application using said location reference;
- e) loading said controlling application on a hosted computing environment, wherein said hosted computing environment is communicatively coupled with said imaging device;
- and
- f) controlling said at least one function of said imaging device from said hosted computing environment using said controlling application.
4 more elements
A method for controlling an imaging device, said method comprising:
- a) receiving, at a hosted computing environment from an imaging device, an application for controlling at least one function of said imaging device;
- b) registering said application with said imaging device;
- c) receiving, at said hosted computing environment from said imaging device, an instruction to launch said application;
- d) launching said application;
- and
- e) controlling said at least one function of said imaging device from said hosted computing environment using said application.
