Kyocera has filed a patent for a document management system that utilizes a facsimile device or a multi-peripheral (MFP) device. The system includes a cloud-based server that stores a policy for managing received documents. The policy is used to determine actions to be taken, such as forwarding the document to the cloud server or sending it as an email attachment. The received documents are categorized based on attributes defined in the policy, making them available within a document management service.

A method for managing facsimile documents in a document management service
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230319213A1) describes a method for managing facsimile documents using a multi-functional peripheral (MFP) device and a cloud-based server. The method involves receiving a facsimile document from a sender at the MFP device, which includes a parameter. The MFP device then queries a cloud-based server of a document management service for a policy related to the sender. Based on the parameter of the facsimile document and the policy, the MFP device determines whether an action needs to be taken. The policy defines criteria for the parameter.
If the parameter meets the criteria, the MFP device forwards the facsimile document to the cloud-based server. However, if the parameter does not meet the criteria, the MFP device attaches the facsimile document to an email. Additionally, if no criteria are defined for the parameter in the policy, the MFP device can print the facsimile document.
The patent also describes a document management system that is configured to receive facsimile documents from a sender at an MFP device. The system includes a cloud-based server of a document management service and performs similar actions as described in the method.
Furthermore, the patent includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores processor-executable instructions for managing facsimile documents. These instructions enable the MFP device to receive facsimile documents, query the cloud-based server for a policy, determine the action to be taken based on the parameter and policy, and perform the action accordingly.
Overall, this patent presents a method, system, and computer-readable medium for managing facsimile documents using an MFP device and a cloud-based server. By defining criteria in a policy and analyzing the parameter of the facsimile document, the system can efficiently handle incoming facsimile documents by forwarding them to the cloud-based server or attaching them to emails, depending on the criteria.
