System and method for keyed operation of devices using near field communication

摘要

In implementations, a computer-implemented method for operating a multifunctional device (MFD) is disclosed. The computer-implemented method can include receiving a identification information from a tag that is associated with a MFD; identifying, by a processor, one or more operations based on the identification information that was received; and transmitting the one or more operations to the MFD.

1. A computer-implemented method for operating a
multifunctional device (MFD), the computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a first identification information from a first tag that is associated with a MFD and receiving a second identification information from a second tag that is associated with the MFD, wherein the first tag is visually identifiably different than the second tag by appearance to a user; associating a first set of operations to be performed by the MFD with the first identification information and associating a second set of operations to be performed by the MFD with the second identification information; comparing the first and the second identification information that was received with other identifying information associated with other tags, other MFDs, or both; identifying, by a processor, one or more operations in the first set of operations or in the second set of operations based on the first and second identification information that was compared; selecting one or more operations in the first set of operations or the second set of operations to be performed by the MFD; and transmitting the one or more operations to the MFD.
