INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, PRINTING APPARATUS, PRINTING SYSTEM, MEDIUM, AND PRINTING CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18304495 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, PRINTING APPARATUS, PRINTING SYSTEM, MEDIUM, AND PRINTING CONTROL METHOD

Simplified Explanation

An information processing apparatus is described in this patent application. The apparatus is designed to handle print jobs and communicate with a printing apparatus. Here are the key points:

  • The apparatus can transmit attribute information about a specific print job to a printing apparatus when requested.
  • The attribute information is associated with multiple print jobs that are registered together.
  • When a printing apparatus requests attribute information for a designated print job, the apparatus responds by transmitting the requested information.
  • The apparatus can also receive a job fetch request from the printing apparatus, along with password information entered into the printing apparatus.
  • The received password information is then verified against the password attribute included in the attribute information for the designated print job.
  • If the verification is successful, the apparatus transmits both the designated print job and its attribute information to the printing apparatus.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be used in office environments where multiple print jobs are managed and sent to a printing apparatus.
  • It can be particularly useful in situations where certain print jobs require password protection or authorization before being printed.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • This technology solves the problem of securely transmitting print jobs and their associated attribute information to a printing apparatus.
  • It also addresses the need for password protection and verification for specific print jobs.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The apparatus provides a secure and efficient way to transmit print jobs and their attribute information to a printing apparatus.
  • It ensures that only authorized print jobs are fetched and printed, enhancing security and preventing unauthorized access to sensitive documents.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus is provided. The apparatus transmits, to a printing apparatus, attribute information regarding a designated print job, out of at least one print job registered together with attribute information, in response to a request, from the printing apparatus, for the attribute information regarding the designated print job, receives a job fetch request from the printing apparatus together with password information input to the printing apparatus in accordance with a password attribute included in the attribute information, verifies the received password information with a value of the password attribute included in the attribute information regarding the designated print job, and transmits the designated print job and the attribute information regarding the designated print job to the printing apparatus if the verification is successful.
