SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, CLIENT TERMINAL, PRINTING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240118840 titled 'SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, CLIENT TERMINAL, PRINTING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
Some embodiments provide a mechanism for providing print services applicable to a printer to be used by a user at the time of printing in a metaverse. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a system includes a printing apparatus, a client terminal, and a server for providing a user with a metaverse via the client terminal. The system includes a plurality of memories and a plurality of processors that are configured to receive, from the user, an operation for using a print service for a content in the metaverse; upon reception of an operation for using the print service, acquire information about the printing apparatus from the printing apparatus; and provide a print service applicable to the printing apparatus in the metaverse based on the information about the printing apparatus.
- Printing services for a printer in a metaverse
- System includes printing apparatus, client terminal, and server
- Processors receive user operation for print service in metaverse
- Acquire information about printing apparatus
- Provide print service based on printing apparatus information
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in virtual reality environments where users may need to print out documents or images from within the metaverse.
Problems Solved
Users can seamlessly print documents or images from a virtual environment without the need to exit the metaverse and use physical printers.
Benefits
Convenience for users in virtual reality settings Integration of printing services within the metaverse environment
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be utilized in virtual reality gaming, virtual meetings, virtual classrooms, and other immersive experiences where printing from within the virtual environment is necessary.
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing technologies that allow for remote printing, but the specific integration of printing services within a metaverse environment may be a novel concept.
