A system () for establishing a secure wireless peer-to-peer (P2P) connection using near-field communication (NFC) comprising a first device (), the first device () comprising near-field communication hardware () to communicate with a second device () and obtain a handover select record, in which the handover select record comprises data to establish a secure wireless peer-to-peer (P2P) connection with the second device (), and in which a context of the first device () and second device () defines an action to be initiated on the second device ().

Secure wireless peer-peer connection using near-field communication

One example of a communication architecture for direct printing and scanning includes a computing device for generating an electronic image and a page description language for producing a deterministic print file of the electronic image, the deterministic print file being natively viewable in a Portable Document File (PDF) viewer. The architecture also includes a printer for receiving the deterministic print file and for beginning printing the electronic image before the complete deterministic print file is received by the printer. A method for printing a document is also provided.

Communication architectures for direct printing and scanning

A cellular telephone protocol adaptive printing system includes a mobile device protocol logic configured to transmit a print job from a cellular telephone to an image forming device, pursuant to a print data transmission protocol; and a content transforming logic configured to process a print item into the print job pursuant to the print data transmission protocol supported by the mobile device protocol logic.

Cellular telephone protocol adaptive printing

In an embodiment, a method includes permitting a wireless client to wirelessly access an internal network of a Wi-Fi capable device. The method also includes presenting a reduced set of device functions to the client when the device operates in an open mode, and presenting an increased set of device functions to the client when the device operates in a secure mode.

Wireless access to device functions

A connecting device discovers a first connection path to a target device and configures a first connection with the target device. The connecting device receives information about additional available connection paths from the target device via the first connection path. The connecting device automatically configures at least a second connection with the target device via an additional available connection path.

Autoconfigured connection paths to a target device

A cellular telephone protocol adaptive printing method is provided. An example method may include identifying a cellular telephone print item to print, identifying a print data transmission protocol for transmitting from a cellular telephone to an image forming device via a wireless communication link, identifying print job elements to process according to the print data transmission protocol, selectively processing the print job elements according to the print data transmission protocol, and processing the print job elements into a print job. In one example, the method includes transmitting the print job to an image forming device. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the application. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be employed to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims 37 CFR 1.72(b).

In one embodiment, a print control system is provided for use in a cellular telephone. A printing logic is configured to generate printer-ready data from a selected data to be printed. A viewing logic is configured to interpret and display the printer-ready data to simulate a printed state of the printer-ready data.
