INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18485488 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
An information processing apparatus includes an application that extends the function of a driver supporting a cloud print service. The application acquires capability information of a printer from the cloud print service, displays a setting screen based on the acquired information, acquires intermediate data from software different from the application based on the setting information, and converts the intermediate data into data to be transmitted to the cloud print service.
- First acquisition unit acquires capability information of a printer from the cloud print service.
- Display unit shows a setting screen based on the acquired capability information.
- Second acquisition unit obtains intermediate data from software based on the setting information.
- Conversion unit converts the intermediate data into data for the cloud print service.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various industries such as printing services, document management, and cloud computing.
Problems Solved
This technology streamlines the printing process by providing a seamless connection between the application, printer, and cloud print service.
Benefits
- Improved efficiency in printing tasks - Enhanced user experience with customized settings - Simplified integration of different software systems
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Printing Workflow with Cloud Print Service Integration"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the integration of cloud services with printing devices to enable remote printing capabilities.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does the application ensure data security when transmitting information to the cloud print service? 2. Are there any limitations to the types of printers that can be supported by this technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus includes an application which extends a function of a driver supporting a cloud print service. The application includes: a first acquisition unit which acquires capability information of a printer corresponding to the driver from the cloud print service if printing via the driver is performed; a display unit which displays a setting screen corresponding to the capability information based on the capability information acquired by the first acquisition unit; a second acquisition unit which acquires intermediate data generated by software different from the application based on setting information of the setting screen; and a conversion unit which converts the intermediate data acquired by the second acquisition unit into data to be transmitted to the cloud print service.
