Description

自动在打印装置上打印文件的文件传送系统
技术领域
本发明总体涉及打印领域。更具体来说，涉及一种用于自动在打印装置上打印文件的文件传送系统。
背景技术
在十五世纪中叶，古登堡(Johann Gutenberg)通过他的活字印刷发明使信息传播方式发生了革命。随着Mazarin圣经的出版，一度由享有独占权的少数人把持的文件当时广泛地能为大众所接触。近550年后，古登堡开创的大众媒体革命活跃着，发展着，达到了有诸如纽约时报(New York Times)和华盛顿邮报(Washington Post)的报纸、诸如新闻周刊(Newsweek)和体育画刊(SportsIllustrated)的杂志以及成千上万的其它刊物的地步。
尽管数以千计的这些刊物涉及广泛的兴趣范围-从新闻到体育到时尚到模特到火箭学，它们有一样是共同的：它们都是为了由大众市场阅读。与一份文件完全只被一个人或极少数人阅读的古登堡以前的时候不同，当今的刊物要是读者群这样小，经济上就行不通-至少是由于高额的市场营销、制作和分销成本。实际上，当今的刊物有许多在很大程度上是由刊物内含有的广告资助的。这些登广告者被能为他们的广告提供大量可靠的消费者读者的刊物所吸引。
尽管这种大众市场出版模式数百年来都不错，却并非没有问题。一种这样的问题是，刊物的普通读者有广泛的各种兴趣，没有一个大众市场刊物能满足所有这些兴趣。例如，一个对国际新闻、高尔夫球、钓鱼、系谱学和计算机感兴趣的读者，可能不得不预订几种不同的刊物才能满足其兴趣。当然，由于这些刊物是面向大众市场的，它们也将有相当数量的材料是我们的读者不感兴趣、因而不会阅读的。不用说，如果有相当数量的读者不读的材料，就有相当数量的读者不读的广告-以及相当数量浪费掉的纸张。登广告者知道这一点，他们按1000次看到它们广告的标准付给大众市场杂志或报纸的钱，远少于他们付给直邮报刊(direct-mail generator)的钱-因为后者能更确切保证看到他们广告的人，是更可能阅读他们的广告并对广告有兴趣的人口统计人群。
此外，对于大多数读者来说，预订和/或阅读大量刊物，成本-效用和时间-效用都是无益的。一般来说，普通读者只预订他们最感兴趣的一些刊物。我们的普通读者选择不预订-即使可能对刊物和内含的广告内容的至少有些感兴趣，使刊物的读者量减少，这意味着刊物收到的预订和广告收入降低，不然的话会更多。如果许多其它用户作出同样的决定，刊物的持续健康就会陷入险境，刊物会被迫停刊。事实上，许多刊物确实一两年就停刊，因为不能吸引得以维持刊物的数量的登广告者和读者-尽管有大量读者会对阅读他们的刊物感兴趣，有相应数量的登广告者盼望这些读者看到他们的广告。总之，不能吸引相当数量的大众市场的人们来愿意为它们付款和/或阅读它们的刊物会停刊。这是一种耻辱，因为这些刊物中许多会丰富所有读者所能获得的信息的多样性，并会为较不知名的作家和艺术家提供创作作品的舞台。
近年来，出现了一种新型的刊物：电子刊物。这些刊物的读者通常通过他们的计算机登录到因特网，在线阅读刊物。这些刊物中，有些(如CNN.com和pointcast.com)允许用户就他们要阅读什么类型的材料申明个人偏好。这些个性化的刊物经常包括广告-通常形式是旗帜广告，位于可视显示屏面的边缘(底部、顶部、旁边等等)。
尽管这些电子刊物已经是信息传播中的一种有意义的进展，它们仍然只代表在更传统的后古登堡模式下出版的信息一小部分。这些电子刊物的许多读者抱怨它们(在视频显示器上)难以阅读，尤其是长时间阅读。读者登录到因特网，在CNN.com网站查找最新发生的新闻的简要总结，这可能是方便的，尽管如此，读者很可能只在该网站花几分钟时间，可能还要预订更传统的印刷媒体，如新闻周刊或华盛顿邮报。他们也可能要花更多时间来阅读更传统的印刷刊物，而不是电子刊物，于是相应地花更多时间看到传统的印刷刊物中的广告。所以，传统刊物-在古登堡使它们得以可能的五个多世纪后-并在电子刊物发明的十余年后-现在继续繁荣。
尽管这些印刷刊物确实有益于现代社会，至今却还没有人显著地要努力解决这些刊物具有的上述潜在问题。本文就提供这样一种解决方案。
发明内容
根据本发明的一个方面，提供在一个具有能够有效连接到一个打印设备的文件的文件传送系统中用于在该打印设备上打印该文件的方法，包括步骤：
存储一个打印时间表，它带有一个表示文件将在用户需要的时间打印的标识；
存储一个用户简档(user profile)；
在没有用户干预的情况下根据该打印时间表自动请求该文件；
将该文件传送到该打印设备；
在没有用户干预的情况下使得在该打印设备上自动打印该文件；
在使得自动打印之后更新所存储的用户简档，该模式带有表示文件成功打印的标识。
根据本发明的一个方面，提供在一个打印设备上打印文件的装置，包括
有效连接到该打印设备的一个文件服务器；
存储在该文件服务器上的一个用户简档；
有效连接到该打印设备的一个打印调度器，其用于监视该文件何时应当被该打印设备打印；
响应来自该打印调度器的一个标识-指示在没有用户干预的情况下使该打印设备自动打印该文件，该文件服务器在没有用户干预的情况下自动将该文件传送到该打印设备。
一个文件或直接或通过一个诸如因特网的网络有效地连接到一个打印设备。所存储的打印时间表保存何时要在该打印设备上打印文件的线索。在该打印时间表指示该文件应该被打印时，将该文件自动传送到该打印设备而不需要用户的干预。该打印设备自动打印该文件，同样也不需要用户的干预。该文件可以存储在一个诸如连接到该打印设备的一个个人计算机的电子设备上，或者存储在通过因特网可以访问该打印设备的一个文件服务器上。
所存储在一个用户简档包含关于文件的接收者的信息，诸如名字，电子邮件地址，家庭收入和兴趣。在该打印设备上打印一个文件时，就更新该用户简档。该用户简档可以用于选择用户感兴趣的要包括在一个个性化文件中的特定信息。由于在该文件中也可以包括广告，该用户简档也可以用于选择要包括在该个性化文件中的用户有可能感兴趣的广告。
根据在用户简档中包含的信息，可以对用户进行产品补贴。比如，如果一个用户简档指示一个特定的用户已经打印了特定数量的“优先”文件，诸如包含广告的那些文件，或者在该文件传送系统控制下的文件。可以自动向用户发送一个产品，诸如打印消耗品，如喷墨打印机的墨盒或者激光打印机的墨粉盒。类似地，也可以自动地向用户发送诸如纸张等的可打印介质。或者是将诸如上述产品的用于免费购买或者优惠购买的优惠券邮寄给用户，或者以电子方式或者其他方式传送给用户。

具体实施方式
图1表示按照本发明一个实施例的一个文件传送系统的框图。文件传送系统10含有文件服务器100。在最佳实施例中，文件服务器100通过网络200有效地连接到各种计算机、打印装置和其它电子装置-它们统称为装置300。文件服务器100含有编辑模块120、传输模块150和知识模块170。编辑模块120从一个或多个内容提供者50和/或一个或多个广告提供者80接收输入。分配模块400有效地连接到文件服务器100。在一个最佳实施例中，文件服务器100是小型计算机/服务器，如惠普公司销售的HP 9000服务器，不过本领域的熟练人员明白，文件服务器100可以是任何类型的执行本文中所述功能的其它计算或电子装置，这仍然不超出本发明的精神和范围。网络200最好是因特网，尽管可以使用或者额外地使用其它类型的公共或专用网络，无论是有线的(例如电话、有线电视等等)还是无线的(例如卫星、无线电、移动电话等等)。
装置300在图1中被表示成能以广泛的各种方式进行配置。例如，图中显示个人电脑310连接到打印装置320，后者为用户20320打印文件10320。个人计算机310有效地连接到网络200。相比之下，为用户20330打印文件10330的打印装置330有效地连接到网络200，之间没有个人电脑或其它电子装置。为用户20350打印文件10350的打印装置350被表示成与电子装置340相连，后者可以是一个与网络200有效地相连的机顶盒、电视机、掌上个人数字助理(PDA)或其它类型的电子装置。最后，为用户20370打印文件10370的打印装置370，连接到电子装置360，后者有效地连接到网络200。图1中所示的打印装置可以是打印机(如HP DeskJet 890型打印机，HP LaserJet V型打印机或HP或其它公司制造的其它型号的打印机)，所谓的“mopiers”或其它能打印、传真、扫描和/或复印的多功能打印装置，或者任何其它能将信息传输给可打印介质(如普通纸、专用纸、透明胶片、或其它能有形地接受这种信息的能被用户容易携带的其它介质)的装置。
图2-4表示按照本发明一个实施例的传输模块150和打印模块380的操作细节的流程图。图2-4中，在左列中表示的流程图由文件服务器100的传输模块150执行；在右列中表示的流程图由打印模块380执行。如图1所示，打印模块380可位于装置300的任何一个通过网络200有效地连接到文件服务器100的装置(如个人电脑310、打印装置330或电子装置340)中，或者可位于文件服务器100本身内，如位于知识模块170中。传输模块150和打印模块380最好代表在装置300和/或文件服务器100内的经过适当编程的微处理器上执行的软件功能，尽管本领域的普通技术人员明白，可以采用专用硬件和其它机构来执行图2-4中所描述的流程图。
现在参看图2，传输模块150的流程图始于功能框1000，打印模块380的流程图始于功能框2000。由于在这两个流程图之间有许多互动-正如由连接这两个列的虚线所示的那样，将同时地说明这两个流程图的操作。
在功能框2100中，将用户简档数据发送到文件服务器，以便在用户简档中存储。用户简档数据可以采取从简单到非常详细的许多形式。图5表示例如在HP公司的Instant Delivery Program(速递程序)所使用的一种非常简单的获取用户简档数据的方法(该程序的第一版是在本发明的申请日前不到一年的时间全部公布的)。该程序中，只将三种信息存储在用户简档中：打印机类型、电子邮件地址、HP是否能联系用户。图6表示当前在HP公司的Instant DeliveryProgram中使用的一个更复杂的用户简档，它包括用户名、电子邮件地址、公司名、城市、州、国家、邮政编码、电话号码、打印机信息和感兴趣的领域。本领域的熟练人员明白，在功能框2100中可以将比图5和图6中所示的更多或更少的用户简档数据发送给传输模块150，这仍然不偏离本发明的精神和范围，并且这种信息至少有些可以来自除用户以外的来源。例如，用户简档数据也可以包括用户的家庭收入、年龄、性别等等。不管怎样，功能框1100接收由功能框2100发送的用户简档数据。功能框1200将用户简档数据存储起来-最好存储在知识模块170中。或者，也可以将用户简档数据存储在装置300中或者其它某个本地或远程位置。
功能框2200查看是否应当从文件服务器100接收一个文件。这是通过检查打印时间表390而完成的-打印时间表最好存储在装置300或文件服务器100上，但是也可以存储在其它某个本地或远程位置。打印时间表390含有的信息，最好能被用来确定文件何时应当由打印装置打印，例如在文件创建时，在用户所请求的时间，在规定的时间过去时，和/或发生一个或多个外部事件(例如，股票价格或指数达到特定值、体育赛事的最后得分，等等)时。可以将打印时间表390与个别用户、装置或一组用户和/或一组装置相关联。此外，打印时间表390的每个表目都可以导致打印一个或多个文件。
图7表示一例打印时间表390-其类型是能在HP公司增强版Instant Delivery Program(速递程序)中使用的。本例中，表示了传送的名称、传送时间表、下一次传送日期和时间和上一次传送状态。用户最好能选择文件应当在什么时间打印-应当在特定的星期几、该月中的某日、工作日还是在周末打印，以及打印时间表应当在规定的时间后失效还是无限地继续有效。
现在参看图2，打印模块380监视打印时间表390，查看是否应当从文件服务器100或者从另一个源请求一个文件。如果功能框2200确定应当从文件服务器100或者从另一个源请求一个文件时，功能框2200得到肯定回答，于是功能框2300无需用户干预就自动地从服务器100或者从另一个源请求该文件-如下文更详细说明的那样。注意，如果打印模块380位于装置300上，则功能框2200是以“拉”(pull)方式操作的-文件被从文件服务器100或另一个源“拉”到装置300。然而，如果打印模块380的位置远离装置300，例如位于文件服务器100中，则功能框2200是以“推”(push)方式操作的-文件被从文件服务器100或另一个源“推”到装置300。如果功能框2300判定文件位于文件服务器100上或者位于可通过网络200访问的另一个源，并且如果装置300当前处于不与网络200有效连接的断开状态，则功能框2300将登录到网络200或以其它方式进入与网络200连接的状态，使得装置300有效地与网络200相连。与此同时，功能框1300查看功能框2300中是否已经从打印模块380请求过一个文件。一旦它确定已经有这样一个文件被请求过时，功能框1400就为打印模块380生成文件。功能框1500然后将文件发送到打印模块380。功能框2400查看是否已经通过功能框1500从文件服务器100接收到一个文件。一旦收到这样一个文件后，功能框2500无需用户干预就自动地在一个打印装置上打印文件。“无需用户干预”这个说法意思是用户不直接介入打印操作；文件被自动地发送到装置300，由打印装置打印出来。按照这个操作方式，用户不按“任何”打印按钮或以其它方式直接介入打印过程；实际上，在打印操作的过程中，用户甚至可能与装置300不在同一个房间、城市、州或国家。打印操作是在无人值守的状态下自动发生的-不管用户是否在场。此外，如果打印时间表390是以独立于装置的方式存储的，例如存储在文件服务器100上，旅行的用户可以“登录”文件服务器100，然后使他或她的定制文件被发送到一个对于用户的当前位置来说方便的装置300。
现在参看图3，功能框2600查看文件是否成功地打印。如果不是，功能框2800就进行故障处理，如尝试再次打印文件，通知用户打印装置缺纸或有其它某种故障状态，或者就决定不打印该文件。如果文件打印成功，功能框2900就通知文件服务器100文件打印成功。功能框1600等待来自打印模块380的表示文件打印成功的标志。如果接收到这样一个标志，功能框1700就用该信息更新用户简档。
在这一申请的申请日最新发行的HP速递程序(HP’s InstantDelivery Program)(1.2.1)不执行图3示出的有些功能块。具体来说，速递程序的这一版本或者在其以前发行的任一版本不执行功能块2900和1600-1900。而是在这一实施例中，控制流从功能框2600转移到以后将作讨论的图4的功能框4100，并从功能框1500转移回图2的功能框1300。
考虑过另一种形式的实施例，其中在功能框2900中将其它信息传输回文件服务器100，以更新最好存储在知识模块170中的用户简档。这种其它信息可能是油墨用量(总用量和按油墨颜色分开的用量)、可打印介质用量(打印的页数、所用介质的类型等等)、或者其它类型的信息。此外，考虑过另一种形式的实施例，其中，存储在知识模块170中的用户简档中所含有的信息有些或全部通过打印模块380原本来自除用户以外的源。例如，可以从各种各样的不同来源获取能公开或秘密获得的关于用户的和/或用户使用的装置300的信息，插入最好存储在知识模块170中的用户简档中。
功能框1800检查最好存储在知识模块170中的用户简档，判定是否应当向用户提供产品补贴。例如，如果用户简档中的信息表明该用户已经打印完他的第1000个文件-诸如含有广告提供者80的广告的或者以其它方式由编辑模块120控制的“优先”文件，则可以说有理由向用户提供产品补贴。就本发明来说，“产品补贴”可以是打印消耗品或其它产品。“打印消耗品”是喷墨打印机的喷墨盒，用于这种喷墨盒的墨水，激光打印机的墨粉盒，用于这种墨粉盒的墨粉，或者在打印文件时被消耗的任何产品或物质，包括打印机色带，等等。注意，以上提及的“墨水”一般是永久性类型的，但是可擦式的墨水(诸如Eink公司所销售的)也能使用。
注意，本文中所提及的产品补贴最好是至少部分地由从广告提供者80(图1)收到的广告收入资助，但是设想过这样的实施例，其中，产品补贴至少部分地由从内容提供者50(图1)接受的发行收入资助。无论哪种情况，最好把有关谁打印过什么的信息(诸如统计信息)提供给内容提供者50和/或广告提供者80-按照本发明的精神，最好以文件的形式自动地将该信息发送到一个或多个打印装置。
本发明所考虑到的要被补贴的其它形式的产品包括可打印介质，诸如普通纸、专用纸、透明胶片之类，也可以包括诸如打印装置、电子装置和个人电脑的装置300。实际上，其它形式的实施例已考虑过补贴其它产品(如文件的预订价格)、甚至与本文中所示的文件传送系统没有直接关系的产品(如肥皂或狗食)。如果功能框1800确定这样一个补贴是有理由的，功能框1900就请求分配模块400向用户提供这样一个补贴。在一个实施例中，分配模块400只要将诸如打印消耗品的产品或者诸如上述类型的其它产品按用户简档中所确定的地址邮寄出去即可。在另一个实施例中，分配模块400邮寄或以电子方式生成一个优惠券，用户能用它收到免费或打折的上述类型的产品。无论功能框1800得到肯定的还是否定的回答，控制流都返回到功能框1300(图2)，查看是否已经从打印模块380请求过另一个文件。
再次参看图3，在功能框2900通知文件服务器100文件打印成功之后，控制流转移到功能框4100(图4)，它与文件服务器100一起检查打印模块380的当前版本是什么。功能框3100查看是否收到过这样一个请求，如果是，功能框3200就向打印模块380发送关于打印模块的当前版本的信息。功能框4200将来自文件服务器100的该信息与其自己的版本比较，判断是否能得到打印模块的更新版本。例如，如果打印模块380运行4.0版，而文件服务器100指出4.1版是打印模块380的当前版本，功能框4200就判定能得到打印模块380的更新版本，控制流就转移到功能框4300。功能框4300查看是否应当请求下载打印模块380的该更新版本。尽管用户通常要被询问是否要请求这样一个下载，并且通常要在方便的时间进行该下载，这样一个步骤无需用户干预也能自动地进行。如果请求了这样一个下载，功能框4400得到肯定回答，功能框3500就下载该更新的打印模块，然后在功能框4500中安装它。无论功能框4200和4300得到的回答如何，控制流都转移到功能框4600，查看是否应当进入断开状态。如果功能框2300(图2)确定装置300在文件被请求时处于断开状态-如上文所讨论的那样(即没有与网络200有效地连接)，功能框4600得到肯定回答，功能框4700就重新进入断开状态。无论如何，控制流都返回到图2的功能框2200。
再次参看图7中所示的打印时间表390，可以看到，可以请求打印许多不同类型的文件。例如文件11000的名称确定一个网络地址-如因特网统一资源定位器(URL)，它含有要被打印的文件的网络位置。注意，该URL可能是部分地或完全地对用户隐藏的，文件15000的URL( http：www.beloitdailynews.com)就是这样。在这种情况下，文件服务器100的编辑模块120只是外出到因特网上所指明的URL的位置(它在图1中会被显示成其中一个内容提供者50)，捕获所指明的文件，该文件然后被通过传输模块150和打印模块380传输到某打印装置-正如已经讨论过的那样。或者，装置300无需得到文件服务器100的帮助而直接外出到URL本身；在这种情况下，功能框2300(图2)从另一个源-通过网络200直接从(位于所指明的URL的)内容提供者50-请求文件11000。这一可替代的实施例由HP速递程序的当前版本使用。
相比之下，文件12000不是一个经因特网来自内容提供者50的文件，而是直接存储在装置300(如打印装置、个人电脑或其它电子装置)上的。这样的文件例如可以是诸如Microsoft Outlook的程序中的一个记事日历-用户已经请求每个工作日(weekday)早晨7点无需用户干预地将其自动打印到其打印机上。在这样一个实施例中，打印模块380不需要从文件服务器100请求文件，因为它不经网络200就能访问文件。在该实施例中，图2的功能框2300从另一个源-装置300-请求文件。尽管功能框2900最好还是指出文件被打印，尽管功能框1700最好还是更新知识模块170中的用户简档，打印这样一个文件最好不生成任何类型的有益于产品补贴的奖分，因为这样一个文件不会被视为“优先”文件，例如不是一个受编辑模块120控制的文件。
再次参看图7，图中表示了文件13000的一个打印时间表。文件13000被称为“个性化文件”。“个性化文件”是由文件服务器100的编辑模块120根据知识模块170中存储的用户简档中含有的信息而从各种内容提供者50和广告提供者80汇编成的。例如，文件13000就是一个“个性化文件”。我们的用户已经请求将文件13000-他的个性化报纸-在每天早上6点打印。编辑模块120检查该用户的如知识模块170中存储的用户简档所确定的兴趣，根据用户已经指出感兴趣的选定的各内容提供者50而汇编该文件。编辑模块120也插入来自选定的各广告提供者80的广告-还是根据知识模块170中存储的用户简档。
图8表示图7的打印时间表390如何能被用户进行编辑。用户能用出版者推荐的时间表，用用户设置好的预置时间表，或者用定制时间表(custom schedule)来传送。如果选择定制时间表，用户可以选择每日、每周、每月传送，或选择每隔规定的天数传送一次，或规定每个工作日。此外，也可以规定钟点时间：在指定时间一次性地，一天多次地，或者间隔规定钟点数多次地。尽管这里没有予以表示，用户却也能编辑打印时间表390，以请求在创建时或发生某外部事件时发送文件。
图9A-9B表示按照本发明一个实施例由打印装置打印的文件11000。注意，该文件(经文件服务器100或直接地)通过网络200来自一个内容提供者50，不含广告。尽管文件11000最好被内容提供者50格式化，以便对文件中含有的信息作准备打印的优化，这种格式化并不是必要的。
图10表示按照本发明一个实施例由打印装置打印的文件12000。注意该文件是用户的记事日历，它直接来自装置300，而不是经网络200来自文件服务器100。
图11A-D表示按照本发明一个实施例由打印装置打印的文件1300。注意该文件是用户的个性化报纸，它含有用户(正如在知识模块170中的用户简档中所存储的那样)已经表示对其有特别兴趣的信息。也注意该文件含有编辑模块120-还是根据知识模块170中存储的用户简档中含有的信息-确定用户也会感兴趣的广告。已经讨论过，当用户打印足够数量的这种“优先”文件时，用户可以收到作为产品补贴的打印消耗品或其它产品。
图12表示按照本发明一个实施例由打印装置打印的文件14000。注意文件14000是HP Instant Delivery Times(HP速递时报)-一个位于文件服务器100上的文件。尽管该文件实质上不含有广告，它仍然被视为“优先文件”，因为它是受编辑模块120控制的。文件14000向Instant Delivery的用户通知关于Instant DeliveryProgram的新版本或新信息。
