Method and system for secure delivery and printing of documents via a network device
First Claim
1. A method for remotely printing a document via a networked destination device comprising the steps of:
- storing said document in a data center;
determining a networked destination device for said document, said networked destination device having associated identifying information;
encrypting said document and storing said encrypted document in a location on said network;
sending an associated key to decrypt said encrypted document from said data center to a mobile device;
sending a pointer indicating said location of said stored encrypted document on said network to said networked destination device based on said identifying information;
sending said associated key from said mobile device to said networked destination device;
retrieving said stored encrypted document from said network using said pointer;
decrypting said document using said associated key at said networked destination device; and
printing said decrypted document.

Abstract
A system and method for providing secure, on-demand printing of documents delivered to a networked printing device is disclosed. A user logs onto a networked document delivery system using a mobile device and selects a document to be printed along with a networked destination printing device. The document server encrypts and stores the selected document and creates a key. The key is sent to the mobile device. The document server sends a pointer, indicating the location of the document, to the destination printing device. When the user is physically at the printing device, a connection is established between the mobile device and the printing device. The mobile device identifies to the printing device the document to be printed and sends the key to the printing device. The printing device, using the pointer, retrieves the document from the network, uses the key to decrypt the document, and then prints the document.

25. A method for printing a document using a networked printer comprising the steps of:
-
selecting a printer attached to said network;
selecting a document for printing by said selected printer, said document being stored on a server in a network;
encrypting said selected document and storing said encrypted document in a location on said network;
sending a key for decrypting said encrypted document from said data center to a mobile device;
sending a pointer indicating said location of said stored encrypted document on said network to said selected printer;
sending said key from said mobile device to said selected printer via a wireless communication when said mobile device is physically near said selected printer;
retrieving said stored encrypted document from said network using said pointer;
decrypting said document using said key at said printer; and
printing said decrypted document.

29. A system for remotely printing a document comprising:
-
a data center to store said document, said data center encrypting said document and storing said encrypted document in a location on a network;
a key to decrypt said encrypted document;
a mobile device to communicate wirelessly with said data center, said data center sending said key to said mobile device;
a printing device coupled to said network; and
a pointer to indicate said location of said encrypted document in said network, wherein said pointer is sent to said printing device, said printing device retrieves said encrypted document from said network using said pointer, said mobile device sends said key to said printing device, and said printing device decrypts said encrypted document using said key and prints said document.
