Problems solved by technology

Although the processing of multimedia files from external devices often involves the same repetitive tasks, these tasks are not performed automatically
Also, since multimedia files from external devices are generally not printed as paper documents, they are difficult to incorporate into existing paper-based workflows through most office functions

Embodiment Construction

[0021] system structure

[0022] figure 1 is a high-level diagram of one embodiment of a system for printing time-based data that includes a multimedia processing printer 100 communicatively coupled to an external service 160 and a network device 170 through at least one network 155 . An example of network 155 is the Internet or an intranet of a company, institution or enterprise. In this embodiment, printer 100 includes media interface 105, user interface 110, print output system 115, electronic output system 120, and media processing system 125 built into or physically attached to housing 102 (eg, dock). A media interface 105 capable of receiving and sending time-based media 151 can take a variety of forms and include one or more devices capable of receiving and / or sending media data or creating media data by observing media events. In one embodiment, user interface 110 includes a display system, one or more user input devices such as a pointing device, a keyboard, or a ...

Abstract

A time-based data printing system capable of printing time-based media by sharing processing resources on a printer and on an external media processing system such as, for example, a web service. Media processing may similarly be shared between an external media processing system and the printer coupled to the printer through a communication interface or through a network, as defined by the resource allocation module. Examples of such external media processing systems are external devices such as personal computers or external services such as web services. A printer with a standalone version of time-based data embedded in various media forms has a display and a user interface so that a user can use the printer and perform multimedia processing on the printer. The stand-alone version has a network connection or other communication interface so that an external service or device can directly connect with the printer performing media processing, or a user can directly connect with the external service or device through the printer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to printing systems with built-in functionality for printing time-based media. Background technique [0002] Conventional printers are capable of receiving documents or other data in many formats and then printing the contents of those documents or data according to the appropriate format. Although conventional printers are capable of printing documents in a very large number of formats, the capabilities of these printers are limited to rendering different types of media. For example, it is a standard technique for printers to produce images of static text, frames, or a combination of the two. But because these printers print on paper or another similar fixed medium, they cannot record the nuances of time-based media very well. [0003] Accordingly, there is a need for printers equipped to print time-based media without the limitations of traditional printers. It is further desirable for a printer to be able t...
