Abstract:
Systems, methods, computer-readable medium, graphical user interfaces, print drivers, and other embodiments associated with processing print requests is provided. In one example system, the system comprises a print delay logic configured to delay processing of print requests until a selected print request is claimed. An input device can be configured to receive a claim request from a user desiring to claim one or more print requests, the claim request including charge account information. An identification logic can be configured to identify one or more print requests for which the user is an owner based, at least in part, on the claim request, and can be configured to cause the identified one or more print requests to be processed. A payment logic can be configured to charge an account using the charge account information from the claim request.
Abstract:
An amount of print substance in a printing device as well as an amount of print substance that should be in the printing device are identified. A difference between these amounts is determined and the difference compared to a threshold value. A determination that print substance has been removed from the printing device is made if the difference exceeds the threshold amount.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for enhancing the input fidelity of personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other handheld stylus-engagable computing devices are described. In some embodiments, this can be done by associating input commands with different user-input activities, including different combinations of user-input activities. By using different combinations of user-input activities to designate particular input commands, a more robust collection of commands can be provided to a user in a manner that is simple, straight-forward and easy to understand.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for accessing network-accessible devices are described. In various embodiments, individual network-accessible devices are configured to wirelessly transmit their network address and any other data that can be used to access the device. Wirelessly-enabled client devices that are unaware of the various devices can receive the transmitted network addresses and thus become knowledgeable of these devices. The network addresses can then permit the wirelessly-enabled client devices to access and use the network-accessible devices. Access to the network-accessible devices can take place via any suitable mechanism such as via a wireless network and/or Internet connection.
Abstract:
A method and/or a system for loading files on a server. An exemplary method communicates an information-containing file from a client to a server, generates an applet based on the information contained in the file, communicates the applet from the server to the client, executes the applet on the client to thereby cause a search for an additional file and communicates the additional file to the server.
Abstract:
Improved methods and apparatuses are provided that allow personal electronic devices to direct/control the selection/printing of data files from a remote server device using a local printing device in a secure manner.
Abstract:
A network request is routed though a network infrastructure to a network device. To make a determination of whether to accept or reject the network request, a network address from which the network request originated is identified by communicating with the network infrastructure. The network request is accepted only upon a determination that the identified network address is authorized.
Abstract:
Disclosed are systems and methods for configuring a client for remote use of a network-based service. In one embodiment, a system and a method include automatically discovering a network-based service supported on a local network to which the client is also connected, communicating with the service via the network, and automatically receiving security information from the service that enables use of the service by the client from a remote location.
