Remote printing system for ordering and printing images at retail store
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11956389B1) discloses a computer-implemented method for processing an order for image prints for retail store pick-up. The method involves connecting to a user's client device, selecting a retail store, sending store information to the client device, receiving a print order including image identification and print details, and printing the image at the selected store. The method allows for seamless processing of print orders without the need for user login information on the client device.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims for a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and a system for executing the image print order processing method. The storage medium contains instructions for connecting to the client device, selecting a store, receiving print orders with image identification, and printing the images. The system comprises a communication module, memory, and processor to facilitate the processing of print orders. The system can retrieve images from remote servers using uniform resource identifiers (URIs) and display them on the client device, enhancing user experience and convenience in ordering image prints for retail store pick-up.
