Embodiment Construction

[0023] As mentioned above, the present invention mainly includes two parts: an interface device and a method implemented in a driver. Figure 3a It is a schematic diagram of the application environment of the first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the interface device 31 of the present invention is connected to any printer 41 supporting the PictBridge protocol by a USB cable (not numbered). PictBridge compliant printers generally have two ports, one is a parallel port or USB port for connecting with computer equipment, and the other is a USB port (referred to as PictBridge port in this manual) for connecting PictBridge compliant devices. The USB cable of the interface device 31 is inserted into the PictBridge port of the printer 41 .

[0024] In this embodiment, the interface device 31 has a wireless network interface that supports wireless communication protocols such as 802.11a / b / g, and does not have the function of an access point, so it is connecte...

Abstract

The provided interface device connects the PictBridge port of printer by an USB cable, and has a wire / wireless network interface to connect with LAN. Wherein, the opposite method comprises: running a drive program to install in a local computer, and letting the digital photo and document in the computer be printed by a PictBridge-compatible printer through the program and interface device in this invention.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a local area network device, in particular to an interface device and a related method between a printer supporting the PictBridge protocol and a local area network. Background technique [0002] Due to the popularity of digital cameras in recent years, the printer industry has also launched printers specially designed for printing digital photos in response to this wave of digital images. At the same time, in order to simplify the process of photo printing, these printers provide different Connection methods, such as interface functions that directly accept memory cards or print directly from digital cameras. But like any emerging product, each industry has its own connection methods and protocols, and even digital cameras and printers belonging to the same brand may be incompatible with each other. In order to solve this problem of interface differences, the Japanese CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) Association p...
