Examples disclosed herein relate to identifying a pool of printing devices, wherein each of the printing devices is associated with one of a plurality of owner entities, receiving a print job from a user, selecting a printing device from the pool of printing devices for the print job, causing the print job to be printed by the selected printing device, and crediting an account of the owner entity associated with the selected printing device.

A server is to obtain, from a mobile device, information indicating a content, sender information about a sender for a printing of the content and delivery of the printed content, and receiver information about a receiver of the printed content. The server is to convert the content into printable data of the content and perform a process to print and deliver a printed content to the receiver according to a printing of the printable data of the content to the printed content and a delivery of the printed content to the receiver.

Examples disclosed herein relate to identifying a pool of printing devices, wherein each of the printing devices is associated with one of a plurality of owner entities, receiving a print job from a user, selecting a printing device from the pool of printing devices for the print job, causing the print job to be printed by the selected printing device, and crediting an account of the owner entity associated with the selected printing device.

A method of transmitting contents stored in a mobile device may include displaying a list of the contents on a display screen, receiving a user input for selecting content to be printed, on the display screen, displaying a list of printers capable of printing the selected content, and a send to delivery server item on the display screen, transmitting the content to a cloud server based on a user input for selecting the send to delivery server item on the display screen, displaying a printing cost of the content on the display screen while the content is being converted into print data by the cloud server, receiving payment information of the printing cost and receiver information of a printout of the content, and transmitting the payment information and the receiver information to the cloud server.

As three-dimensional (3D) printing and additive manufacturing becomes a way for individuals and companies to distribute physical goods, there is a growing need for creators of physical goods to enable customers to customize 3D printed objects while protecting core electronic assets in the form of the files used to define and print the objects. Server-side rendering of 3D object images provides an opportunity to protect 3D object files while offering performance advantages. A scripting language may be central to delivering a seamless user experience interacting with 3D object models on client devices. Object creators and vendors may rely on the scripting language to create user interfaces for selling customizable objects. And once the user interface is developed, it may provide the basis for users accessing, viewing, manipulating, selecting materials, rendering, pricing, and printing a range of 3D objects.

A method for billing device usage through a data storage system and aggregation includes: receiving, in a device controller, user credentials for one of a plurality of users; detecting, by the device controller, usage parameters of a hardware device; submitting, by the device controller, a new usage transaction for usage of the hardware device to a data storage system including the user credentials and a usage fee based on the usage parameters; receiving, by an aggregator node, a plurality of usage transactions from the data storage system including the new usage transaction where each usage transaction includes user data and a fee amount; generating, by the aggregator node, an aggregated bill for each of the users including based on the fee amount included in each usage transaction associated with the respective user; and transmitting, by the aggregator node, each aggregated bill to a computing device associated with the respective user.

A recording system includes: an information processing device including an input interface and a display unit; and a recording device including a recording unit that executes a recording operation on a recording medium, the recording device being configured to control the recording unit to execute the recording operation within a range of a recording permission amount for permitting the recording operation by the recording unit, wherein the recording system is configured to execute a tutorial process such that, in the tutorial process, a tutorial operation screen for notifying a guidance to a user about a charge operation is displayed on the display unit, the charge operation being an operation on the input interface for purchasing the recording permission amount.

Tattoo and body painting kiosks that print temporary tattoo art onto various body parts of a person. Those kiosks use digital print data of the tattoo to be printed and which can be stored locally, uploaded, or downloaded. The tattoo printing process can utilize a printer that moves in three dimensions to print on a user's body part. Some printers may move three hundred sixty degrees (360) while others may be fixed. Various printing technologies can be used. In a seated embodiment, a user sits and inserts their body part into an aperture to be printed by a print head. In a standing embodiment, a user locates their body part adjacent a printer to be printed by a print head. In another embodiment, a mechanical arm having a printing device is manually positioned to access a user's body parts.

An information processing apparatus includes a storage unit that stores, associating with first identification information of a first program, which causes the information processing apparatus to function as a display control unit that displays a screen and to function as a process control unit that executes a process according to an input to the screen, information indicating whether there is a change in the screen and whether there is a change in the process; and a request unit that requires, when there is a change in the screen, a second program related to second identification information associated with the first identification information and stored in the storage unit, to display a changed screen, and that requires, when there is a change in the process, a third program related to third identification information associated with the first identification information and stored in the storage unit, to execute a changed process.

Methods and systems for secure digital transport and delivery of confidential and privileged legal documents to incarcerated recipients are disclosed. This method comprises generating an encrypted PDF document which is then stored on encrypted storage before being delivered and printed directly to the incarcerated recipient via secure computer system. Furthermore, the result of the delivery is recorded via photograph of the inmate along with the inmate's signature, and a receipt containing both is automatically generated and returned to the sender. Once that email is sent, the server completely purges the document from the system. A transaction log is kept for both users and correctional facilities.
