Embodiment Construction

[0016]The present invention is a system and method for copying books that overcomes the inefficiencies of conventional book copying systems and methods. An efficient copying system is achieved by adapting a peripheral device to access and utilize electronic versions of books to print copies of the books. To make a copy of a physical book, a user inputs an identification of the book into the peripheral, the peripheral accesses the electronic version of the book and prints the book as specified. Thus, a user is not required to manually place a page of the book on the copier surface, copy and repeat the process to copy each desired page. The system and method are generally implemented in a peripheral device. The peripheral device is any of a suitable plurality of devices, such as a copier, a printer, a multifunction peripheral, etc, and suitably is a stand-alone device, interconnected to other devices, or to a network.

Abstract

A system and method for efficiently copying books. According to the system and method, a user inputs a book identification into a peripheral device to cause the peripheral device to access an electronic version of the book. Upon so accessing, the peripheral is adapted to print the electronic version as specified. The book identification may be any suitable identification, such as a book ISBN number, a bar code, a title, etc.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 770,612, filed Feb. 2, 2004.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention is directed to a system and method for printing, and more particularly, the present invention is directed to a system and method for printing books by a book identification.[0003]Books and other monographic publications are frequently copied on copy machines. The current method of copying books is time intensive, laborious and inefficient. A user must first open the book to the desired page, flip the book upside down and place the page on the copier surface and then copy. If a copy of more than one page of the book is desired, this entire process must be repeated until all pages are copied. If copies of multiple pages are desired, the process can require a great deal of time to complete. Thus it is desirable to have a system and method for more efficiently and easily copying books and o...
