摘要:
A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product are disclosed to manage access to device information. The system may include a plurality of devices configured to provide device information to a device management server. The system may also include a remote server including the device management server. The device management server may be configured to receive the device information, to determine a receiver for the device information based on one or more permission settings for the plurality of devices, to provide the device information to the determined receiver, and to provide a device management interface, the device management interface includes an interface for modifying the permission settings for one or more particular devices associated with a user account accessing the device management interface.

In a communication environment in which a plurality of virtual port drivers VPD1, VPD2 use a single communication port COM1, a communication control method enables a virtual port driver VPD1 other than the virtual port driver VPD2 that is occupying the communication port COM1 to communicate through the same communication port COM1. The communication control method includes a step of executing a communication process in which a first virtual port driver VPD1 emulates a specific communication port in communication with the device driver DD1 to which the first virtual port driver VPD1 corresponds. At least when a second virtual port driver VPD2 occupies the communication port COM1, the communication control method executes a step of executing a communication process in which the first virtual port driver VPD1 emulates in communication with the second virtual port driver VPD2 the specific device driver DD2 to which the second virtual port driver VPD2 corresponds.

Print plug-in isolation is described. In embodiment(s), a print system input can be received at a print system, and the print system input can be redirected from the print system to an isolation module that isolates one or more print plug-ins from the print system. The print system input can be processed at the isolation module with the one or more print plug-ins to generate print plug-in output, and the print plug-in output can then be communicated back to the print system from the isolation module.

A system and method for automatic configuration upon installation of a network printer are disclosed. The techniques of the invention avoid the burden of manual configuration by users and system administrators. The network printer is associated with printer description files, a driver, a spooler, and a port monitor. The system comprises bi-directional application program interfaces associated with the spooler for allowing the driver to generate a bi-directional request and receive a bi-directional response. The system additionally includes a syntax within the printer description files for representing and associating the bi-directional request and the bi-directional response with a print feature. The system also includes extension files stored in the driver for relating bi-directional values and printer values and a notification infrastructure controlled by the port monitor for providing a bi-directional notification of configuration changes to the driver and selected applications.
摘要:
Es wird ein System und ein Verfahren, eine Schnittstelle zu einem Hochleistungsscanner (302) zu bilden, offenbart. Ein Treiber ermöglicht Echtzeit-Kommunikation zwischen einer Scananwendung und den Scannern. Der Treiber umfasst eine Anwendungsprogrammschnittstelle, die mit mindestens einem Personalitätsmodul (312A, 312B) verbunden ist, wobei für jeden Scanner (302) ein Personalitätsmodul (312A, 312B) vorgesehen ist. Das Personalitätsmodul erleichtert die Erteilung von Befehlen und die Steuerung eines bestimmten Scanners (302). Die Anwendungsprogrammschnittstelle kann zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt mit mehr als einem Personalitätsmodul (312A, 312B) kommunizieren, um einen gleichzeitigen, parallelen Betrieb mehrerer Scanner (302) zu ermöglichen. Der Treiber liefert die durch die Scanvorgänge erzeugten Bilddaten an einen allgemein zugänglichen Zwischenspeicher, wo sie die Scananwendung asynchron abrufen kann.
摘要:
In response to a request from a host device using an initial protocol, capability information including information indicative of a plurality of communication protocols is returned to the host device, and a communication protocol, designated by the host device based on the capability information, is set, and print data is received from the host device by the set communication protocol. In a system using an interface connected to various types of devices, e.g., an IEEE 1394 serial bus, a communication protocol, which is used when a host device transfers print data to a printer, is not limited to that unique to the manufacturer of the device.
摘要:
A client PC has a virtual print server service (client) for searching a server on a network and issuing a print request to the searched server. The server has a virtual print server service (server) for searching a printer on the network on the basis of the print request from the client and registering a print job into the searched printer. Thus, when the client PC temporarily participates in the network and allows the printer connected to the network to print, the troublesome setting in the client PC is unnecessary.
