Abstract
A digital sending device peripheral to a computer network includes a user interface to accept a physical content, a digitizer coupled to the user interface to convert the physical content into an electronic content and a transmitter coupled to the user interface and to the digitizer and preconfigured to deliver the electronic content through a vendor-provided computer network resource to a computer network destination.
Claims22
A digital sending device (DSD) peripheral to a computer network, comprising:
- a user interface to accept a physical content;
- a digitizer coupled to the user interface to convert the physical content into an electronic content;
- and
- a transmitter coupled to the user interface and to the digitizer preconfigured to deliver the electronic content through a vendor-provided computer network resource (VPCNR) to a computer network destination.
A method of digitally sending a physical content provided by a user to a computer network destination in a computer network infrastructure, comprising:
- pre-configuring a digital sending device (DSD) for a vendor-provided computer network resource (VPCNR);
- accepting a physical content from a user at a user interface;
- digitizing the physical content into an electronic content;
- and
- sending the electronic content to the computer network destination using the VPCNR.
A system of vendor-provided computer network resources (VPCNR) for delivering digital sending services between multiple electronic destinations and a plurality of digital sending devices (DSD), comprising:
- a DSD coupled to a computer network having:
- a user interface to accept a physical content;
- a digitizer coupled to the user interface to convert the physical content into an electronic content;
- a transmitter coupled to the user interface and to the digitizer
- wherein the transmitter is preconfigured to use a VPCNR to deliver the electronic content to the multiple electronic destinations;
- and
- a computer network infrastructure capable of delivering the digital sending services between the multiple electronic destinations and the plurality of DSD.
