Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, most portable devices lack storage due to compressibility and limited capacity
Such deficiencies inevitably limit the amount of information or data that users can store or retrieve
Therefore, users of these portable devices are limited in accessing documents

Embodiment Construction

[0017] figure 1 A computer system 100 is shown comprising a host computer 103 having a number of peripheral devices including, for example, a display device 106 , a keyboard 109 , a mouse 113 and a local printer 116 .

[0018] The host computer 103 includes processor circuitry having a host processor 123 and a host memory 126 (both coupled to a computer local interface 129). For example, computer local interface 129 may be a data bus with an accompanying address / control bus, as is commonly known to those of ordinary skill in the art. The display device 106 is coupled to the computer local interface 129 through the display interface 133 . Likewise a keyboard 109 and a mouse 113 are coupled to the computer local interface 129 via a different input interface 136, and a local printer 116 is coupled to the computer local interface 129 eg via a printer card 139 or other device of similar capacity. Display interface 133, input interface 136, and printer card 139 perform various pro...

Abstract

A method which allows a user through a portable device (166) to print documents which are remotely stored is disclosed. The user designates a first document among the documents to be printed as an instruction in a portable device (166). Such an instruction is sent from the portable device (166) to a local printer (116) via a portable device communication port in the local printer (116), where it is further passed to a host computer (103) connected to the local printer (116) and capable of accessing the documents. According to the instruction, the host computer (03) retrieves the first document and subsequently prints out the retrieved first document on the local printer (116).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of locally printing remotely stored information using a portable device. Background technique [0002] Traditionally, after editing and formatting the document using a computer application, the user prints the document on a printer coupled to the computer. However, when the user is traveling, the user has to carry the edited document in a portable medium or carry a notebook computer for accessing and processing the document. If the user wants a printed version of the document, the user has to connect the laptop to a printer and usually install a printer driver. These are not expected, especially for users who travel a lot. [0003] Recent years have seen a rapid increase in portable electronic devices, such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), cellular phones, and / or other portable electronic devices. Some such devices also include input / output ports to communicate with computer systems, printers, and othe...
