Abstract

A client system of a network resource service, the network resource service administering a plurality of distributed network resources, the client system comprising: a computer processor for executing stored instructions to: receive over a proximity based wireless communication a network resource identifier of a network resource of the plurality of network resources and a service identifier of the network resource service, the service identifier defining a network address of the network resource service on a communications network configured for non-proximity based communication; and transmit application data to the network resource addressed to the network address on the communications network for subsequent processing by the network resource.

Claims

1. A client system of a network resource service, the network resource service administering a plurality of distributed network resources, the client system comprising;

a computer processor for executing stored instructions to;

receive over a proximity based wireless communication a network resource identifier of a network resource of the plurality of network resources and a service identifier of the network resource service, the service identifier defining a network address of the network resource service on a communications network configured for non-proximity based communication; and

transmit application data to the network resource addressed to the network address on the communications network for subsequent processing by the network resource.

2. The client system of claim 1, wherein the network resource identifier and the service identifier are contained within a message associated with a physical geographical location of the network resource.

3. The client system of claim 2, wherein the network resource is a printer.

4. The client system of claim 1, wherein the network resource identifier and the service identifier are communicated in one or more messages having a data size limitation for a size of the message as defined by a communication protocol for the proximity based wireless communication and the application data, such that the network resource identifier and the service identifier are of a data size less than the data size limitation and the application data is of a data size greater than the data size limitation.

5. The client system of claim 1, wherein the network resource identifier and the service identifier are contained within the same message associated with a physical geographical location of the network resource, said same message size constrained by the data size limitation, such that said same message size is of a data size less than the data size limitation and the application data is of a data size greater than the data size limitation.

6. The client system of claim 4, wherein the one or more messages also contain authorization data for the network resource to be authorized to process the application data.

7. The client system of claim 5, wherein said same messages also contains authorization data for the network resource to be authorized to process the application data.

8. The client system of claim 1 further comprising the computer processor for executing stored instructions to contact a resource registry using the network resource identifier and the service identifier in order to determine one or more operating parameters of the network resource.

9. The client system of claim 6 further comprising the computer processor for executing stored instructions to contact a resource registry using the network resource identifier and the service identifier in order to determine one or more operating parameters of the network resource and to conduct an authentication of a user of the client system for the network resource.

10. The client system of claim 1, wherein the proximity based wireless communication is Bluetooth based communication.

20. The client system of claim 1, wherein the proximity based wireless communication performed in conjunction with communication capabilities of the network resource when a client device of the network resource service and the network resource are within a proximity range as defined by a protocol of the proximity based wireless communication.

11. A method for providing connection of a client system with a network resource service, the network resource service administering a plurality of distributed network resources, the method for execution by a computer processor of stored instructions, the comprising the steps of:

receiving over a proximity based wireless communication a network resource identifier of a network resource of the plurality of network resources and a service identifier of the network resource service, the service identifier defining a network address of the network resource service on a communications network configured for non-proximity based communication; and

transmitting application data to the network resource addressed to the network address on the communications network for subsequent processing by the network resource.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the network resource identifier and the service identifier are contained within a message associated with a physical geographical location of the network resource.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the network resource is a printer.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the network resource identifier and the service identifier are communicated in one or more messages having a data size limitation for a size of the message as defined by a communication protocol for the proximity based wireless communication and the application data, such that the network resource identifier and the service identifier are of a data size less than the data size limitation and the application data is of a data size greater than the data size limitation.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein the network resource identifier and the service identifier are contained within the same message associated with a physical geographical location of the network resource, said same message size constrained by the data size limitation, such that said same message size is of a data size less than the data size limitation and the application data is of a data size greater than the data size limitation.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein the one or more messages also contain authorization data for the network resource to be authorized to process the application data.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein said same messages also contains authorization data for the network resource to be authorized to process the application data.

18. The method of claim 11 further comprising the step of contacting a resource registry using the network resource identifier and the service identifier in order to determine one or more operating parameters of the network resource.

19. The method of claim 16 further comprising the step of contacting a resource registry using the network resource identifier and the service identifier in order to determine one or more operating parameters of the network resource and to conduct an authentication of a user of the client system for the network resource.
