CLOUD SERVER, CLOUD SYSTEM, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18331001 titled 'CLOUD SERVER, CLOUD SYSTEM, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a cloud server that offers a cloud cooperation service for print jobs. The server receives a request from an image forming apparatus to acquire a print job. It then gathers information on a print job managed by its own cloud cooperation service, as well as information on print jobs managed by another cloud cooperation service and a print service that works with the second cloud cooperation service. Finally, the server transmits a print job list, including all the gathered information, back to the image forming apparatus.
- The cloud server receives a request from an image forming apparatus to acquire a print job.
- It collects information on a print job managed by its own cloud cooperation service.
- The server also gathers information on print jobs managed by another cloud cooperation service and a print service that cooperates with the second cloud cooperation service.
- It then sends a print job list, including all the acquired information, back to the image forming apparatus.
Potential Applications
- Streamlining print job management in cloud-based environments.
- Enhancing collaboration between different cloud cooperation services.
- Improving efficiency and convenience in print job handling.
Problems Solved
- Simplifies the process of acquiring and managing print jobs in a cloud environment.
- Facilitates the integration of multiple cloud cooperation services and print services.
- Reduces the complexity and time required for print job coordination.
Benefits
- Increased efficiency in print job acquisition and management.
- Improved collaboration between different cloud cooperation services and print services.
- Enhanced convenience for users in handling print jobs.
Original Abstract Submitted
A first cloud server, that provides a first cloud cooperation service, executes instructions to: receive, from an image forming apparatus, a first acquisition request to acquire a print job; acquire information on a first print job managed by the first cloud cooperation service; acquire, from a second cloud server, information on a second print job managed by a second cloud cooperation service and information on a third print job managed by a first print service cooperating with the second cloud cooperation service; and transmit a print job list including the information on the first print job, the information on the second print job, and the information on the third print job to the image forming apparatus.
