Patent 7215435 was granted and assigned to NEC Corporation on May, 2007 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
An in-net printing system includes a portable terminal, a printer system and a network server system. The portable terminal, the printer system and the network server are connected to a network. In the in-net printing system, the portable terminal obtains a read data from the network server system and outputs a print request to the printer system in order to print the read data. The printer system outputs a transfer request to the network server system in response to the print request. The network server system outputs the read data to the printer system, based on the transfer request. The printer system prints the read data, when receiving the read data.
