METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROVIDING ACCESS TO REMOTELY STORED DATA

摘要

A computer network or server (14) provides or enables a data output or printing service for a user of a subscriber device (12). The user stores a document in a user account at a memory source (309) of the server (14) via a computer (20) that has a network connection to a network (18) and thus server. The user later accesses the user account via the subscriber device (12) and requests that the data be sent to a retrieval zone corresponding to the subscriber device. The server with the subscriber unit determines a particular output device of a plurality of output devices (16). The server (14) forwards the data to the particular output device where the data is provided to the user in, for example, a printed document.
