Aspects of the present invention may provide audio devices, which may be included in protective covers, suited for use with tablet computers and the like. Embodiments may include audio devices including a substantially tablet-shaped rigid housing. The housing may include a top surface, a bottom surface, and a recess in the top surface. A relatively flat audio speaker may be received in the recess of the housing, and may be pivotally mounted to the housing such that a free end of the speaker is movable between a closed position and an open position.

Combined device audio panel

A driver for a mobile-computing device. The driver comprises a communication interface for communicatively coupling the driver to an application executing on the mobile-computing device and a print service wirelessly coupled to the mobile-computing apparatus. The driver further comprises an interceptor and a graphics device formatter. The interceptor identifies graphics device commands and forwards graphics device commands issued by the application. The formatter, when enabled, renders information desired to be printed from the mobile-communication device to an intermediate format communicated to the print service.

Software installation for hardware devices is disclosed. Software for a device to be connected to a computer is installed on the computer. While the software is being installed, an automatic installation mode for the device may be suppressed. This mode is suppressed after being automatically initiated by the operating system of the computer upon the device being connected to the computer before the software is completely installed. Furthermore, once the software has been installed, the user may be instructed to connect the device to the computer, after which the automatic installation mode for the device may be initiated without rebooting the computer.

Software installation for hardware devices

A printing system and method are provided that facilitate the mobile printing of a document. The printing system comprises an automated print agent located in a device coupled to a network. The printing system also comprises a network alias associated with a printer coupled to the network, where the automated print agent acting as a network destination for a transmitted document addressed to the network alias. The automated print agent orchestrates the printing of the transmitted document on the printer upon receipt of the transmitted document from a transmitting device.

System and method for mobile printing

Disclosed are various systems and methods for printing documents. In one embodiment, a printing system is provided that comprises a host and a local printer coupled thereto, the local printer having a portable device communications port with which to establish a communications link a portable device. The local printer includes means for relaying a non-rendered document received via the portable device communications port to the host for rendering. The host includes means in the host for orchestrating a rendering of the non-rendered document into a rendered document with a printer format compatible with the local printer, the non-rendered document being rendered using one of a number of applications in the host, and, means in the host for transmitting a rendered document to the local printer to be printed.

System and method for walk-up printing

An image editing program includes a user interface for displaying a work area and receiving image edit inputs; and an engine for overlaying a grid on the work area, and using grid elements to generate commands in response to the image edit inputs.

Image editing via grid elements

A system and method are provided for generating an expression definition file from which a creative expression may be printed. Briefly described, in one embodiment, the system includes a processing server having a processor electrically coupled to a local interface and a memory electrically coupled to the local interface. The processing server is configured to communicate with an affiliate server via a communications network. The system further comprises operating logic stored on the memory and executable by the processor. The operating logic includes logic to receive a logical creative expression that defines the creative expression from the affiliate server. The logical creative expression has one or more content elements and a template type. The operating logic further includes logic to identify a template stored in the memory that is associated with the template type, the template specifying one or more pages with associated regions, and logic to associate the content elements with the regions. Finally, the operating logic includes logic to generate the expression definition file embodying the creative expression, the expression definition file specifying the pages with their associated regions for printing.

System and method for creating and printing a creative expression

A system and method are provided for updating a banner in a graphical display. In embodiment, the system comprises a processor circuit in a client device that includes a processor and a memory, both of which are electrically coupled to a local interface. The local interface may comprise, for example, a data bus and accompanying control bus. Also electrically coupled to the local interface is a network interface such as a network card that couples a network to the local interface. The system includes a display device electrically coupled to the local interface. The system further includes banner update logic stored on the memory and executable by the processor. The banner update logic particularly comprises logic to automatically initiate a download of a remote banner located at a predefined address on the network to the memory, and logic to display a local banner stored in the memory on the display device upon a failure to download the remote banner to the memory. The banner update logic may further comprise logic to display the remote banner on the display device upon a successful download of the remote banner to the memory.
