Abstract:
A method of writing a near field communication (NFC) tag using a mobile terminal includes establishing a wireless connection between the mobile terminal and an image forming apparatus, extracting a predetermined field value corresponding to a data structure of the NFC tag from information collected while establishing the wireless connection, generating tag information including the predetermined field value by arranging the predetermined field value according to the data structure, and writing the tag information to the NFC tag through NFC tagging.
Abstract:
A method of forming an image using a mobile terminal supporting near field communication (NFC) includes launching a mobile application corresponding to an application identifier of tag information of an NFC tag obtained through first NFC tagging, generating data of a job to be performed by an image forming apparatus through the mobile application when the NFC tag is detected again through second NFC tagging, the job being determined according to a state of the mobile application during the second NFC tagging, and transmitting the generated data to the image forming apparatus.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of controlling an operation of an image forming apparatus by using a wearable device, the method including operations of converting a task performance request related to a task, which is transmitted from the wearable device, into an execution instruction of a first application that controls the operation of the image forming apparatus; requesting, as the first application is executed based on the execution instruction, the image forming apparatus to perform the task; and receiving, as the task is performed by the image forming apparatus, information indicating a task performance result related to the task from the image forming apparatus.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method of forming an image, a terminal and a method of controlling printing, and a computer-readable recording medium are provided. The terminal includes a communication interface to communicate with an image forming apparatus, a searcher to search for files stored in a portable storage medium with the communication interface when the image forming apparatus is connected to the portable storage medium, a printing data generator to generate printing data about at least one of the searched files and a controller to control the communication interface to transmit the printing data to the image forming apparatus.

Abstract:
A method of mobile printing using near field communication (NFC) includes checking a version of firmware installed in an image forming apparatus; determining whether the checked version of the firmware supports Wi-Fi Direct connection via automatic transmission of a personal identification number (PIN); updating the firmware installed in the image forming apparatus when the checked version of the firmware does not support Wi-Fi Direct connection via automatic transmission of a PIN; encrypting and storing a PIN in an NFC tag attached to the image forming apparatus; setting a Wi-Fi Direct connection by receiving the stored PIN and automatically transmitting the PIN to the image forming apparatus by the mobile device when the mobile device is NFC-tagged to the image forming apparatus; and performing mobile printing via the Wi-Fi Direct connection.
