Abstract: A web page is enhanced with “print tags.” These print tags indicate which portions of a web page's data belong to which content items. The print tags identify and distinguish between the content items. The web browser uses the tags to differentiate “real” content from advertisements on the web page, so that unimportant content is not printed. Additionally, if a content item is distributed over several pages, then the print tags convey information about which hyperlinks the web browser should automatically follow in order to obtain and print the entire content item. The print tags are embedded into the web document itself. In approaches discussed herein, the user does not need to cause his web browser to request any additional “printer-friendly” web page, because the browser automatically generates print data using the HTML print tags that are already contained in the web page that the user asked to be printed.

Abstract: A digital camera sends an XML document to a client application executing on a computer that is remote from the digital camera. The XML document describes a physical user interface of the digital camera. Based on the XML document received from the digital camera, the client application renders and displays a visual depiction of the digital camera's user interface. A user of the client application can remotely control the digital camera from the client application by interacting with the user interface elements shown in the visual depiction. User activation of controls shown in the visual depiction causes the digital camera to perform the same operations as the digital camera would perform if the user had actually activated the corresponding physical controls on the digital camera itself. The client application is capable of receiving different XML documents from different camera models, and rendering different interfaces based on those different XML documents.
