Printing Device Searching and Management System and Method

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to a printing device searching and management system and method. The method involves receiving a search input comprising a plurality of characters. The method also involves determining a search condition based on a first portion of the plurality of characters. The method further involves determining a command based on a second portion of the plurality of characters. Additionally, the method involves determining whether at least one printing device of the plurality of printing devices meets a criterion specified by the search condition. If at least one printing device meets the criterion, the method involves identifying one or more printing devices that meet the criterion specified by the search condition. Further, the method involves executing the determined command in association with at least one particular printing device from among the identified one or more printing devices on a device specified by the determined command.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
causing a display device to display a search prompt into which a search input can be entered; receiving, at a computing device, a plurality of characters that collectively form the search input; determining a search condition based on a first portion of the plurality of characters, wherein a given search condition is indicative of a criterion for a characteristic of a given printing device; determining a command based on a second portion of the plurality of characters, wherein a given command is indicative of an executable action, wherein the given command specifies a given device on which to execute the action, and wherein the given command is executable in association with a printing device; determining whether at least one printing device of a plurality of printing devices meets the criterion specified by the search condition; based on determining that at least one printing device meets the criterion, identifying one or more printing devices that meet the criterion specified by the search condition; and executing the determined command in association with at least one particular printing device from among the identified one or more printing devices on a device specified by the determined command.
