Printing through physical proximity between printer and print client device

摘要

Systems and methods of operating a computing system may involve utilizing an interactive physical event between a client device and a target printer to unambiguously select the target printer. In one example, upon such an interactive event, a mutual identification method may be implemented between the client device and the target printer, followed by creation of a secure point-to-point communication link over which a print request may be executed.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
detecting an interactive event between a print client and a target printer; transmitting a security protocol communication to the print client, the security protocol communication including an authentication element; conducting a verification process based on the authentication element; transmitting a response communication including the verification of the authentication element; and transmitting a file to the target printer for printing.
