Abstract
A method, computer readable medium and device that enables emailing a label as a portable data file to destination information associated with a mobile computing device includes obtaining at a proxy server device a web page with a label from a web server device in response to a request from a mobile computing device. The proxy server device obtains destination information for the label associated with the requesting mobile computing device. The proxy server device converts the label into a portable data file and transmits the portable data file using the destination information for the label associated with the requesting mobile computing device.

A method for emailing a label as a portable data file, the method comprising:
- obtaining by a proxy server device a web page that includes a printable label from a web server device in response to a request for the web page received from a mobile computing device not connected to a printing device, the label having an electronic format and comprising digital content not viewable on a display of the mobile computing device;
- obtaining by the proxy server device destination information for the label, the destination information comprising an electronic mail address of a user of the mobile computing device from which the request for the web page that includes the label was obtained;
- extracting by the proxy server device the label from the web page and converting the label that is not viewable on a display of the mobile device into a portable data file;
- and
- transmitting by the proxy server device the portable data file using the destination information for the label.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for emailing a label as a portable data file comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one processor, causes the processor to perform steps comprising:
- obtaining a web page that includes a printable label from a web server device in response to a request for the web page received from a mobile computing device not connected to a printing device, the label having an electronic format and comprising digital content not viewable on a display of the mobile computing device;
- obtaining destination information for the label, the destination information comprising an electronic mail address of a user of the mobile computing device from which the request for the web page that includes the label was obtained;
- extracting the label from the web page and converting the label that is not viewable on a display of the mobile device into a portable data file;
- and
- transmitting the portable data file using the destination information for the label.
A proxy server device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the one or more processors which are configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory comprising:
- obtaining a web page that includes a printable label from a web server device in response to a request for the web page received from a mobile computing device not connected to a printing device, the label having an electronic format and comprising digital content not viewable on a display of the mobile computing device;
- obtaining destination information for the label, the destination information comprising an electronic mail address of a user of the mobile computing device from which the request for the web page that includes the label was obtained;
- extracting the label from the web page and converting the label that is not viewable on a display of the mobile device into a portable data file;
- and
- transmitting the portable data file using the destination information for the label.
