SERVER, CONTROL METHOD, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND PRINTING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18509155 titled 'SERVER, CONTROL METHOD, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND PRINTING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a server providing a cloud print service that acquires attribute information about printing capabilities, registers output destination printer information, and transmits attribute information to a client terminal upon request.
- The server includes at least one processor executing instructions for performing operations related to cloud print services.
- Attribute information about printing capabilities is acquired when a printing apparatus is registered as an output destination printer.
- Output destination printer information is registered by associating the acquired attribute information with the output destination.
- Attribute information about the registered output destination printer is transmitted to a client terminal in response to a request for capability information.
- Even if the acquired attribute information includes unsupported attributes, it is still registered as output destination printer information without discarding it.
Potential Applications
- Cloud printing services - Printer management systems - Remote printing solutions
Problems Solved
- Simplifying the process of registering and managing output destination printers - Providing accurate printing capability information to client terminals - Ensuring that all attribute information is retained and utilized effectively
Benefits
- Improved efficiency in managing printing apparatus - Enhanced user experience with accurate printing capability information - Seamless integration of cloud print services with client terminals
Original Abstract Submitted
A server providing a cloud print service includes at least one processor that executes a set of instructions, when executed, causing the server to perform operations including acquiring attribute information indicating printing capabilities of a printing apparatus when the printing apparatus is registered as an output destination printer, registering output destination printer information by associating the acquired attribute information with information indicating an output destination, and transmitting, in a case where a request for acquiring capability information about the registered output destination printer is received, the attribute information about the registered output destination printer to a client terminal as a response to the request, wherein in the registering, even in a case where the acquired attribute information about the printing apparatus includes an attribute that is not supported by the cloud print service, the attribute information is registered as the output destination printer information without discarding the attribute information.
