INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM FOR STORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18457104 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM FOR STORING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system where an information processing apparatus generates print data for a printer that can execute a cloud print service, taking into account cost information and limitation information from the cloud print service to determine whether to execute printing.

  • The information processing apparatus generates print data for a printer with cloud print capabilities.
  • Cost information for printing is obtained based on the generated print data.
  • Limitation information related to cost is obtained from the cloud print service.
  • The apparatus decides whether to execute printing based on the cost and limitation information.
  • Transmission of the print data to the cloud print service is controlled based on this decision.
      1. Potential Applications

- Cloud printing services - Cost-effective printing solutions

      1. Problems Solved

- Managing printing costs - Ensuring printing limitations are adhered to

      1. Benefits

- Cost-effective printing decisions - Efficient use of cloud print services


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus generates print data for causing a printer that can execute a cloud print service to execute printing. The information processing apparatus obtains cost information for when printing is executed based on the generated print data and obtains limitation information related to cost and held in the cloud print service. The information processing apparatus determines whether to execute printing according to the cloud print service based on the cost information and the limitation information and controls transmission of the generated print data to the cloud print service based on a result of that determining.
