Abstract

See full text

Apparatus and methods for accessing a scanner from a mobile device. A document processing device may include a scanner to perform a scan function on a physical document to generate an electronic document and a controller. The controller may receive a request for a scan session from a first user via a first mobile device and determine, upon receipt of the request, whether or not the scanner is available for use by the first user. Upon a determination that the scanner is available for use by the first user, the controller may establish a locked scan session for the first user. During the duration of the locked scan session, the controller may accept an instruction from the first mobile device to perform a scan and may not accept an instruction to perform a scan from any device other than the first mobile device.
