The method and system allow a user to launch a client application on an web-enabled device and subsequently to navigate to an image source screen within the client application. After receiving an image source selection from the user, the client application retrieves images from the selected image source. The client application displays the retrieved images available for printing to a user, and in response to receiving a selection of an image, the client application transmits the image to a proprietary server. Moreover, upon receiving print order information, the client application additionally executes a location awareness application that determines a current location of the web-enabled device and subsequently, determines a proximal retail store to the current location of the web-enabled device. Thereafter, the remote printing system creates and transmits a print order that includes the selected image to the retail store for pickup.

System and method for remotely printing digital images for pickup at a retail store

The system and methods allow a user to request and receive an electronic coupon using a client application on an internet-enabled device such as a mobile phone and use the electronic coupon when making a purchase at a store. Specifically, the mobile device requests and receives the mobile coupon from a server or a network of servers. The server or network of servers determines which if any electronic coupon(s) to send to the client application and sends an electronic coupon to the client application. The client application displays the electronic coupon with a coupon identifier on the display of the mobile device. The user then uses the mobile device to enter the coupon identifier into a point-of-sale terminal to trigger the discount or other special deal offered on the electronic coupon when making a purchase at the point-of-sale terminal.

The method and system allow a user to launch, on an web-enabled device, a client application that retrieves images from a social networking database. The client application displays the retrieved images available for printing to a user, and in response to receiving a selection of an image, the client application retrieves social networking attributes associated with the selected image from the social networking database. In response to receiving one or more social networking attributes from the user, the client application transmits the selected image and associated social network attributes to a proprietary server. Moreover, upon receiving print order information, the client application additionally executes a location awareness application that determines a current location of the web-enabled device and subsequently, determines a proximal retail store to the current location of the web-enabled device. Thereafter, the remote printing system creates and transmits a print order that includes the selected image to the retail store for pickup.
