Disclosed is a network peripheral access method. A device on a network registers with a server that peripheral access requests of a specific type be directed to a specific peripheral. When the device creates a request of the specified type, rather than sending the request directly to the peripheral, the device sends the request to the server. The server receives the request, associates the request with the peripheral registered for that type of request, and sends the request to the registered peripheral. In an alternate embodiment, the device sends an abbreviated request to the server, the server responds with an access identifier (e.g., a network address) of the registered peripheral, and the device sends the request directly to the registered peripheral. The presence of the server decreases the amount of peripheral-specific configuration information kept on the requesting device.
A method for enabling a user to select and use a peripheral connected to a network upon which a server operates for the purpose of having the selected peripheral execute data output requests emitted by a terminal of the user connected to the network, the peripheral being selected by the user from a plurality of peripherals connected to the same network,
A system for enabling a user to select and use a peripheral connected to a network upon which a server operates for the purpose of having the selected peripheral execute data output requests emitted by a terminal of the user connected to the network, the peripheral being selected by the user from a plurality of peripherals connected to the same network, the system comprising:
A method for enabling a user to select and use a peripheral connected to a network upon which a server operates for the purpose of having the selected peripheral execute data output requests emitted by a terminal of the user connected to the network, the peripheral being selected by the user from a plurality of peripherals connected to the network, the selection updating a table comprised in memory means of the server, the table containing the associations of the terminal and the peripherals wherein when receiving an output request from the network, the server scans said table to determine the peripheral associated with the terminal having generated the output request, the server thereafter rerouting the output request, received from the terminal, to the selected peripheral.
A system for facilitating a user selecting and using a peripheral connected to a network upon which a server operates for the purpose of having the selected peripheral execute data output requests emitted by a terminal of the user connected to the network, the peripheral being selected by the user from a plurality of peripherals connected to the network, the selection updating a table comprised in memory means of the server, the table containing the associations of the terminal and the peripherals wherein when receiving an output request from the network, the server scans said table to determine the peripheral associated with the terminal having generated the output request, the server thereafter rerouting the output request, received from the terminal, to the selected peripheral.
A method for enabling a user to select and use a peripheral connected to a network upon which a server operates for the purpose of having the selected peripheral execute data output requests emitted by a terminal of the user connected to the network, the peripheral being selected by the user from a plurality of peripherals connected to the network, the selection updating a table comprised in memory means of the server, the table containing the associations of the terminal and the peripherals wherein the user's terminal does not allow the direct sending of a full output request to the server when the user enters on his terminal a command to output data on the selected peripheral.
