Abstract
A device for supporting a cloud print service includes a control unit configured to control so that print data generated in a first area is acquired in a second area, a user interface unit configured to provide a user interface for performing user authentication according to the acquisition of the print data and receive authentication information from a user through the user interface, and a communication unit configured to transmit the acquired print data to a cloud print server if the user authentication succeeds by using the received authentication information.
Claims19
A device for supporting a print service, the device comprising:
- a control unit configured to implement first system area and a second application area for a user to control print data generated in a first system area to be acquired in the second application area;
- a user interface unit configured to provide a user interface to receive authentication information for performing user authentication according to the acquired print data;
- and
- a communication unit configured to transmit the acquired print data to at least one server concerning the print service, in response to a successful authentication of the user using the received authentication information.
A method of providing a print service for a device capable of being communicatively coupled to at least one server, the method comprising:
- performing, by the device:
- acquiring print data, which has been generated in a first system area, in a second application area for a user;
- providing a user interface for performing user authentication according to the acquired print data;
- and
- receiving authentication information from the user through the user interface;
- and
- transmitting the acquired print data to a server among the at least one server concerning the print service, in response to a successful authentication of the user using the received authentication information.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a computer-executable program for executing a method of providing a print service for a device capable of being communicatively coupled to at least one server, the print service method for the device comprising:
- providing a user interface for performing user authentication implemented in an application area of the device;
- receiving authentication information from a user through the user interface;
- storing the authentication information in a system area of the device, in response to a successful authentication of the user using the authentication information;
- receiving information for at least one print option setting from a server among the at least one server by using the authentication information stored in the system area of the device;
- and
- providing a user interface for setting the at least one print option by using the received information for the at least one print option setting.
