  • Patent number: 10395148
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting print data, a server (120) and a mobile terminal (100). The invention further relates to a corresponding computer-readable storage medium. In the method, steps are carried out which include receiving the print job, conversion into the printer-specific format, saving the printer-specific format on another server (130), informing the mobile terminal (100) of the completed conversion, reporting the completed conversion to the user and, after confirmation from the user, transmitting the print data to the mobile terminal (100), in order to forward the print data in a last step to a printer (200) connected to the mobile terminal (100).

  • Patent number: 9575696
    Abstract: A printing method, an arrangement, a computer program, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided to increase a number of printing devices used by a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal communicates with a server via a wireless communication interface and sends via the server data to a printing device including information identifying the printing device and a key assigned to the printing device. The method includes establishing a communications link, determining printing devices, transmitting information about the usable printing devices, selecting a usable printing device, transmitting the data intended for printing or information that enable the server to retrieve the data intended for printing from a remote storage location in a data network, checking the validity of one or more of the keys transmitted from the mobile terminal transmitted, and transmitting, depending on the validity of the key(s), the data intended for printing to the selected printing device.

  • Patent number: 9378217
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for managing data and a corresponding computer program and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium, which can be used, in particular, to simplify the data management on a remote storage system when accessing the storage system from a terminal. For this purpose, a method for managing data is proposed, wherein the data on a remote storage device are managed from a terminal, and wherein by an application installed on the terminal, when the data stored at a storage location on the remote storage device are accessed by the terminal, at least an identifier of the data and information about the storage location of the data are stored by the application and made available to a user when storing the optionally modified data, particularly when writing back the optionally modified data on the remote storage.

  • Patent number: 9275362
    Abstract: A method and system for handling files with mobile terminals and a corresponding computer program and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium, which can be used in particular for handling e-mail attachments and the like on mobile terminals (PDAs, Smartphone, mobile phone) are described. According to the described method, an original file is stored on a data processing device different from the mobile terminal, and a file corresponding to the original file is generated and transmitted to the mobile terminal. The corresponding file includes information about the storage location of the original file. The original file is handled on the data processing device. An application installed on the mobile terminal processes at least part of the data in the corresponding file according to user input entered on the mobile terminal. First processing device is thereby prompted to execute handling of the original file according to the user input.

  • Patent number: 9122426
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to an arrangement for detecting printers that can be used by means of a wireless connection, a corresponding computer program, and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium that can be used in particular for printing in WLAN or Bluetooth environments. For this purpose, in order to detect printers that can be used from a data processing device by means of a wireless communication connection, it is proposed that the following steps be performed: performing a search for a printer (200) that provides an interface to a wireless network (1100), associating found printers (200) with registered printers and/or printer drivers, detecting installed printer drivers for associated printers, generating a list (800) of printers (210) that can be used by the terminal, wherein a found printer (200) for which an installed printer driver was detected is considered to be a usable printer (210).

  • Patent number: 8867061
    Abstract: A method and a system for printing from web applications, as well as a corresponding computer program and a corresponding computer-readable storage means, are described. The method and system are particularly useful for improving the print functionality of web applications; e.g., by enabling printout of additional formats. It is proposed to provide on web pages a print option that can be controlled via data input means of a terminal. Activation of the print option causes a server executing the web application to send the data to be printed to a designated print server to start a print process on the print server, and to send the data generated by the print process from the print server to a network printer or to the terminal.

  • Patent number: 8407295
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for managing data, and a corresponding computer program and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium, which can be used, in particular, to save, for example, e-mails in a folder structure on a server by using an e-mail push client, which are known, for example, as Blackberry devices. It is a method for managing data, the data are saved as e-mail or messages on a mail server and/or a server of a message signaling system. At least one application with at least one function for data processing is installed on a terminal. In addition, the terminal sends a request for managing data to the mail server and/or the server of a message signaling service by using the data managing function, and the data are transmitted to a file server according to the request from the mail server and/or the server of a message signaling service, where they are saved in a file system, wherein the stored data can be accessed from a file management program.
