Abstract: A cellular telephone protocol adaptive printing system includes a mobile device protocol logic configured to transmit a print job from a cellular telephone to an image forming device, pursuant to a print data transmission protocol; and a content transforming logic configured to process a print item into the print job pursuant to the print data transmission protocol supported by the mobile device protocol logic.

Abstract: A cellular telephone protocol adaptive printing system includes a mobile device protocol logic configured to transmit a print job from a cellular telephone to an image forming device, pursuant to a print data transmission protocol; and a content transforming logic configured to process a print item into the print job pursuant to the print data transmission protocol supported by the mobile device protocol logic.

Abstract: A cellular telephone protocol adaptive printing method is provided. An example method may include identifying a cellular telephone print item to print, identifying a print data transmission protocol for transmitting from a cellular telephone to an image forming device via a wireless communication link, identifying print job elements to process according to the print data transmission protocol, selectively processing the print job elements according to the print data transmission protocol, and processing the print job elements into a print job. In one example, the method includes transmitting the print job to an image forming device. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the application. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be employed to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims 37 CFR 1.72(b).

Abstract: In one embodiment, a print control system is provided for use in a cellular telephone. A printing logic is configured to generate printer-ready data from a selected data to be printed. A viewing logic is configured to interpret and display the printer-ready data to simulate a printed state of the printer-ready data.

Abstract: Techniques for extending access to biometric authentication systems to locations not necessarily equipped with a biometric scanner are disclosed. For example, an improved biometric authentication system may also accept a user-inputted pass code derived from, and serving as a proxy for, the user's biometric identifier. The pass code is constructed to be of a form that is meaningful to the user, so that it is readily memorizable. Exemplary forms of pass codes can include one or more words of text, color sequences, and more.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided for a wireless mobile device where data is received over a wireless data connection indicative of presence of compatible components and a selection of the compatible components are displayed. Data is continued to be received further identifying the compatible components. The displayed selection of compatible components is changed in accordance with a convention and based on the continued receipt of data where the method is performed automatically by a wireless mobile device.

Abstract: An adapter suitable for use with digital cameras (and other digital imaging devices) converts the digital camera to a biometric scanner. One exemplary adapter includes a receptacle for receiving a body part, a coupler for attachment to the digital camera, and one or more optical components for acquiring an image of a biometric characteristic of the body part. Optional features might include: (a) automatically detecting of the body part and transmitting a command to an input interface of the camera; (b) using auxiliary lighting to illuminate the biometric image; (b) digitally post-processing the image after acquisition but prior to authentication; and/or (d) acquiring a biometric utterance of the user providing the biometric image for dual-factor biometric authentication; and/or still other features described herein.

Abstract: A print controller for a cellular telephone is provided. The print controller includes a memory configured to store a state associated with processing print data. The print controller also includes a print control logic configured to control the cellular telephone in (re)processing print data.

Abstract: A cellular telephone printing system is provided. The print system includes a discovery logic configured to identify an image forming device with which the system may interact, a content transforming logic configured to prepare content for delivery to the image forming device in a form useable by the image forming device, and a print managing logic configured to manage providing the content to the image forming device.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes a search logic for a mobile device. The search logic is configured to perform a discovery process that causes a radio frequency transceiver to discover electronic devices having a compatible radio frequency transceiver. The search logic is configured to execute asynchronously with one or more different processes. A display logic is configured to display a device identifier for each of the electronic devices that are discovered.
