  • 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: 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.

  • Patent number: 7903292
    Abstract: Bandwidth of a data line of a network is subdivided into at least two portions before or during transmission so that, while a recipient is receiving data being transmitted to the recipient from a sender over a first portion of the data line, the recipient can transmit data to the sender or another device over free bandwidth on the other portion(s) of the data line.

  • Patent number: 7613798
    Abstract: To create a method for processing print jobs in server-based networks as well as a relevant network, in which the disadvantages of the methods of print processing according to the current technical status can be avoided, it is suggested that a print job which has been generated from an application on the network's server in EMF format be furnished with an identification which lets the print job seem to be in RAW format; that the print job in pretended RAW format be sent to an end device in the network, where the identification is removed and finally the conversion of the EMF file into the print device-specific RAW format is executed with a local printer driver, or that the print job furnished with the identification is forwarded to a print server, where the identification is removed and finally the conversion of the EMF file into the print device-specific RAW format is executed with a local printer driver, and the RAW file is finally sent to the end device.
