Abstract: A method and system for distributing electronic documents to at least one storage location of an electronic document transfer application and to at least one electronic mailbox residing on at least one printing apparatus.

Abstract: Printing over a network, such as the Internet, by uploading, via the network, to a printing service provider, print data information and location information, determining identification information based on the uploaded location information, correlating, at the printing service provider, the determined identification information with the uploaded print data information, inputting the identification information at a printing device connected to the network, transmitting the print data information having the correlated identification information to the printing device, and printing the print data information on the printing device. The location information may be a network address from which the uploading step is initiated, where the network address is dynamically determined by a hotel server when a user connects a computing device to a network connection in the hotel.

Abstract: A method and system for providing an application that uses real-time communication to order products and/or services. The method and system comprise launching a real-time chat application on a client device, logging into the real-time chat application, initiating a discovery operation of the client device upon logging in, displaying peripheral devices connected to the client device detected by the discovery operation, selecting a peripheral device from the detected peripheral devices, displaying products and/or services for the selected peripheral device, and obtaining products and service for the selected peripheral device.

Abstract: A method and system for generating a job profile set, the method and system comprising receiving identification information, receiving device information, retrieving at least one job profile based on the received identification information and the received device information, and generating a job profile set, wherein the generated job profile set includes the at least one job profile.

Abstract: A system and method for allowing non-real time communication protocol enabled devices to participate in real-time communication protocol scenarios, comprising: discovering at least one non-real time communication protocol enabled device; logging on to at least one real-time communication server; assigning a unique real-time communication protocol identity to the at least one non-real time communication protocol enabled device; assigning a service proxy for the at least one non-real time communication protocol enabled device; and adding the unique real-time communication protocol identity to the at least one real-time communication server.

Abstract: Printing over a network by inputting print data to be printed and associated credit card information at a host terminal, uploading a print job comprising the print data to be printed and the associated credit card information to a print data storage server, inputting credit card information at an input device that communicates with the print data storage server, transmitting print data stored in the print data storage server having associated credit card information that corresponds to the credit card information input at the input device, and printing the print data on a printing device. The uploaded print job may be marked as ready for printing such that the print data transmitted to the printing device is that which has been marked as ready for printing. In addition, a display of pending print jobs may be provided for a user to select a print job to print prior to the print data being transmitted to the input device.
