Assignee:

Ricoh Company, Ltd. - Tokyo

International Classification:

H04N 1/40

US Classification:

358 115, 358468

Abstract:

A method of managing a print job from a computer includes the steps of transmitting print job information to a printer, storing the print job information in a storage device separate from the printer, prompting a user to enter identification information at the computer, which is separate from the printer, and comparing the identification information with information stored in the storage device. The method can also include the steps of validating the identification information, displaying the print job information at the computer, editing the print job information at the computer, updating the storage device with edited print job information, and transmitting to the printer the edited print job information. The method can be implemented using a remote manager residing on a computer connected to the printer via a network. A computer program product, and a graphical user interface for managing a document server print job are also disclosed.

Inventors:

Alan Nathan Lin - Arcadia CA, US

International Classification:

H04M 1/60
H04M 1/04

Abstract:

A protective case discloses an electronic device protective casing, comprising an outer wall of back cover of outer protective layer and an inner wall of the back cover of the outer protective layer. The protective case further comprises an inner flexible layer corresponds to the inner wall of the back cover of the outer protective layer. The back cover comprises an amplifying chamber. Furthermore, the outer layer of the protective case can be made with hard material such as polycarbonate (PC) and the inner flexible layer can be made with soft material such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), so that the protective case is able to protect the electronic device from drops and shocks. Finally, the sound emitted from the speaker of the electronic device comes through the amplifying chamber on the back cover of the protective case with an enhanced, amplified, better quality and wider range sound.

Inventors:

Alan Nathan Lin - Arcadia CA, US

International Classification:

A45C 11/00

US Classification:

206 37

Abstract:

A protective case discloses an electronic device protective casing, comprising the main protective shell body and the universal decorative pattern layer, the said main protective shell body layer has a pattern opening corresponding to the pattern of the universal decorative pattern layer to snugly fit in, and the said decorative pattern layer disposed on the said protective shell body layer via fixed plate. And the said fixed plate area is greater than the said decorative pattern layer. Since the said universal decorative pattern layer and the said protective shell body are manufactured separately, the universal decorative plate will be able to use for different electronic devices, therefore it will reduce the cost to make such case in term of reproduction of molding, and thereby the cost of the electronic device protective case will be as well reduced.
