Abstract

A system and method for printing relevant content via a cloud print service upon completion of an entertainment event in media from an associated one of one or more entertainment devices are disclosed. In one example, the relevant content is obtained from an associated one of one or more entertainment device cloud services by the cloud print service upon completion of the entertainment event in the media. Further, the obtained relevant content is printed on a web connected printer by the cloud print service.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

checking, by a processor of a cloud print service, a status of media delivered from an entertainment device cloud service to an entertainment device;

obtaining relevant content from the entertainment device cloud service by the processor of the cloud print service upon completion of an entertainment event in the media delivered to the entertainment device from the entertainment device cloud service, wherein the relevant content is relevant to the delivered media; and

instructing, by the processor of the cloud print service, a web connected printer to print the obtained relevant content.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

instructing, by the processor of the cloud print service, the web connected printer to print one or more user specific documents stored in the entertainment device cloud service.

3. The method of claim 1:

wherein the entertainment device and the web connected printer are registered with the entertainment device cloud service and the cloud print service, respectively.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

providing, by the processor of the cloud print service, options to define at least one of a number of pages to print, a level of content to print, and filters for prints in a web portal.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein obtaining the relevant content from the entertainment device cloud service by the processor of the cloud print service upon the completion of the entertainment event in the media further comprises:

identifying, by the processor of the cloud print service, the completion of the entertainment event by periodically checking the status of the media delivered from the entertainment device cloud service; and

obtaining the relevant content from the entertainment device cloud service upon identifying the completion of the entertainment event.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the entertainment event comprises at least one of a level, a stage, and a goal in the media and wherein the relevant content comprises at least one of a certificate for the completion of the entertainment event, entertainment device control instructions, tips to improve media playing skills, and coloring pages associated with the entertainment event.

7. A cloud print service apparatus comprising:

a memory storing a cloud print service module (CPSM); and

a processor connected to the memory to execute the CPSM, wherein execution of the CPSM causes the processor to;

check a status of media delivered from an entertainment device cloud service to an entertainment device;

obtain relevant content from the entertainment device cloud service upon completion of the entertainment event in the media delivered to the entertainment device from the entertainment device cloud service, wherein the relevant content is relevant to the delivered media; and

instruct a web connected printer to print the obtained relevant content.

8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the processor is further to instruct the web connected printer to print one or more user specific documents stored in the entertainment device cloud services.

9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the processor is further to identify the completion of the entertainment event by periodically checking the status of the media delivered from the entertainment device cloud service and obtain the relevant content from the entertainment device cloud service upon identifying the completion of the entertainment event.

10. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the entertainment event comprises at least one of a level, a stage or a goal in the media and wherein the relevant content comprise a certificate for the completion of the entertainment event, entertainment device control instructions, tips to improve media playing skills, and coloring pages associated with the entertainment event.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:

check a status of media delivered from an entertainment device cloud service to an entertainment device;

determine that an entertainment event in the media has completed;

obtain relevant content from the entertainment device cloud services in response to the determination that the entertainment event in the media delivered to the entertainment device from the entertainment device cloud service has been completed, wherein the relevant content is relevant to the delivered media; and

instruct a printer to print the obtained relevant content.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein the instructions further cause the computing device to:

instruct the printer to print one or more user specific documents stored in the entertainment device cloud services.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein the printer comprises a web connected printer and wherein the entertainment device

and the web connected printer are registered with the entertainment device cloud service and a cloud print service, respectively.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13, wherein the instructions further cause the computing device to:

provide options to define at least one of a number of pages to print, a level of content to print, and filters for prints in a web portal.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein the entertainment event comprises at least one of a level, a stage or a goal in the media and wherein the relevant content comprise a certificate for the completion of the entertainment event, entertainment device control instructions, tips to improve media playing skills, and coloring pages associated with the entertainment event.
