System and method for printing documents using print hardware and automatic print device identification based on context correlation
First Claim
1. A system for printing a document from a mobile device comprising:
- a non-transitory, computer readable memory;
one or more processors; and
a computer-readable medium containing programming instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to;
identify a document to be printed, andgenerate a notification comprising a selection of at least one candidate print device that may be selected for printing the document by;
analyzing, by one or more mobile applications of the mobile device, the document to be printed to identify a document context, wherein the identified document context comprises at least a security level of the identified document,using data sensed by one or more location sensors of the mobile device to identify a user context, wherein the user context comprises at least a current geographical location of a user,using the user context to detect a print device near the geographical location of the user,accessing a rule set to determine if the identified document can be printed on the detected print device based on the identified document context comprising the security level of the identified document by;
identifying, from the one or more mobile applications, a mobile application being used to print the identified document,identifying a format associated with the identified document based on the identified mobile application,identifying an intended use of the identified document based on the identified format, andusing the intended use to identify the security level of the identified document,generating the notification comprising the selection of at least one candidate print device that may be selected for printing the document, by including the detected print device in the selection of at least one candidate print device, andcausing a user interface to output the notification.

Abstract
A method for printing a document from a mobile device includes identifying a document to be printed and generating a notification comprising a selection of at least one candidate print device that may be selected for printing. The notification may be generated by analyzing, by one or more mobile device applications, the document to be printed to identify a document context including a security level of the identified document; using data sensed by one or more mobile device sensors to identify a user context including at least a current geographical location of the user; using the user context to detect a print device near the geographical location of the user; and accessing a rule set to determine if the identified document can be printed on the detected print device based on the security level of the identified document; and causing a user interface to output the notification.

9. A method for printing a document from a mobile device comprising:
-
by a processor of the mobile device, identifying a document to be printed; and by the processor, generating a notification comprising a selection of at least one candidate print device that may be selected for printing the document by; analyzing, by one or more mobile applications of the mobile device, the document to be printed to identify a document context, wherein the identified document context comprises at least a security level of the identified document, using data sensed by one or more location sensors of the mobile device to identify a user context, wherein the user context comprises at least a current geographical location of a user, using the user context to detect a print device near the geographical location of the user, accessing a rule set to determine if the identified document can be printed on the detected print device based on the identified document context comprising the security level of the identified document by; identifying, from the one or more mobile applications, a mobile application being used to print the identified document, identifying a format associated with the identified document based on the identified mobile application, identifying an intended use of the identified document based on the identified format, and using the intended use to identify the security level of the identified document, generating the notification comprising the selection of at least one candidate print device that may be selected for printing the document, by including the detected print device in the selection of at least one candidate print device, and causing a user interface of the mobile device to output the notification. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
