Sending device, information output device, presence server, content transmission system, and output condition transmission method

Abstract

The invention provides a sending device, an information output device, a state server, a content transmission system and an output condition transmission method. A printing terminal 108 registers in advance printing conditions adopted for printing based on content data into a SIP server 106 functioning as a presence server. A posting server 104 obtains the registered printing conditions from the SIP server 106, prior to transmission of the content data to the printing terminal 108. This arrangement enables the printing terminal 108 as an information output device to transmit the printing conditions as a desired output condition to a sending device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to techniques for transmitting content data via a network. In addition, in this specification, the so-called "content" refers to information such as images and sounds, and the so-called "content data" refers to data indicating the above-mentioned contents. In addition, among the above-mentioned contents, printable items such as images may be referred to as "printed contents". Background technique [0002] In the past, when companies delivered advertisements to customers, they used mail and fax. In addition, in the field of communication education, etc., teaching material suppliers also use mailing and faxing when delivering teaching materials to the trainees. [0003] When using the mailing method, since the printed contents such as advertisements and teaching materials can provide high-quality printed contents, many manpower is required for delivery, so the problem of high cost and time required for delivery arises. ...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] In the above-mentioned system, there is a problem of how to transmit printing conditions such as desired paper size and print quality on the printing terminal side to the sending device before sending the printed content from the sending device to the printing terminal. middle

[0009] In addition, this kind of problem is not limited to the case of sending the data of the printing content from the sending terminal to the printing terminal. When sending the content data such as an image from the sending terminal to the display, etc., how to transmit the resolution from the display, etc. to the sending terminal before sending? Display conditions such as audio rate, etc., or how to transmit sound output conditions such as mute status from the audio device to the sending device before transmission when sending data such as sound from the sending terminal to the audio device, etc., are common issues.
