Abstract
A method and apparatus for applying information stored remotely to an appliance via a mobile device are provided. The mobile device initiates the process by transmitting instructions to a computer system via a communication network. The instructions designate the information to be processed as well as the appliance to which the information is to be applied. According to the instructions, the computer system retrieves the information and converts the information to a document suitable for the appliance. The computer system then applies the document to the designated appliance.
