-----------------------------------
Herein, the part of the numeral of place, the end record of " m=" row (the 1st row), as mentioned above, become the part of specifying the printing condition type, at this moment, numeral is " 0 ", " 3 ", " 7 ", is expressed as " printing condition type 0 ", " printing condition type 3 ", " printing condition type 7 ".Next " m=" row in " a=" row (the 2nd~7 row), has been put down in writing corresponding to each digital setting content.That is, in the 2nd~3 row in the setting content of this " 0 ", the 4th~5 row in the setting content of these " 3 ", the 6th~7 row setting content of these " 7 " being put down in writing respectively.
Secondly, at offer side (transmitter side), the INVITE request that so obtains is sent (step S206) to answer side (receiver side).After this, offer side (transmitter side) becomes the state of waiting for from the reception of the response of answer side (receiver side) (step S208).
On the other hand, in the answer side (receiver side) that is in the state of waiting for from the reception of the request of offer side (transmitter side) (step S218), if receive the INVITE request of sending from offer side (transmitter side), then analyze the record content of the SDP in this entity, and whether judgement can correspondence (that is, can print) (step S220) for the printing condition of recording and narrating self.Particularly, among the record content of the SDP in main body, at first, " m=" row of the 1st row of aforementioned row number is analyzed.
----------------------------------
1:m=audio?49170?RTP/AVP?0?3?7
-----------------------------------
In the regulation of SDP, the part (above-mentioned example is " 0 ", " 3 ", " 7 ") of the numeral of place, the end record of this " m=" row becomes priority, at answer side (receiver side), estimates in proper order with this.
In answer side (receiver side), at first, estimate the 1st numeral herein.Current, specify " 0 " as the 1st numeral, so at answer side (receiver side), printing condition is identified as " printing condition type 0:A4, quality level 1 ".And, about the setting content of this " 0 ", as previously mentioned, be described in the row number the 2nd~3 the row in, according to the 3rd the row in the record " a=fmtp:color ", identification is colored printing.
Then, at answer side (receiver side), whether at this 1st printing condition, i.e. " printing condition type 0:A4, colour, quality level 1 ", judging self can be corresponding.When the result who judges can keep this 1st printing condition (step S222) at once.Particularly, as shown in Figure 5, promptly print terminal 108 in answer side (receiver side), the CPU30 of personal computer 112 is saved in the part of this 1st printing condition as content information 38 in the memory 34.
And then, at answer side (receiver side), this 1st printing condition recorded and narrated in the entity of 200 OK response (step S223) by SDP.The record content of the SDP of this moment, as shown below.But, only represented the part relevant with printing condition.
--------------------------
m=audio?49170?RTP/AVP?0
a=rtpmap:0?PCMU/8000
a=fmtp:color
--------------------------
Secondly, at answer side (receiver side), the 200 OK response that so obtains is turned back to offer side (transmitter side) (step S224).After this, at answer side (receiver side), become the state (reception standby) (step S226) of the reception wait of content-data.In addition, so at answer side (receiver side), a plurality of printing conditions are not turned back to offer side (transmitter side).
Usually, be used in the situation of the soft phone (softphone) of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) etc. or equipment etc., OK only there is 1 in " m=" at 1 medium.For example, following record, though be to be used to carry out the record that the reception of sound and image sends, but receive different medium (sound and image) in order to send so simultaneously, to record and narrate " m=" respectively OK to each medium, and below each " m=" row, record and narrate the attribute relevant respectively with these medium.
-------------------
m=audio…
a=rtpmap…
a=…
m=video…
a=rtpmap…
a=…
-------------------
On the other hand, for example, record as described below (establishing 2 sessions for the transmission reception of sound) is not allow under a lot of situations.At this moment, the sound conversation can not correctly be carried out.
----------------
m=audio…
a=rtpmap…
a=…
m=audio…
a=rtpmap…
a=…
----------------
Herein, in this embodiment, printing condition is recited as " m=audio ... ", and look as acoustic medium, specify 1 to use only.
So, when the result of above-mentioned judgement is at the 1st printing condition, i.e. " printing condition type 0:A4, colour, quality level 1 ", can not just then estimate the 2nd numeral at once in answer side (receiver side).Current, specify " 3 " as the 2nd numeral, so at answer side (receiver side), the identification printing condition is " printing condition type 3:B5, a quality level 1 ".And, about the setting content of these " 3 ", as previously mentioned, be described in the row number the 4th~5 the row in, according to the 5th the row in the record " a=fmtp:gray ", be identified as the black and white printing.
Then, at answer side (receiver side), whether at this 2nd printing condition, i.e. " printing condition type 3:B5, black and white, quality level 1 ", judging self can be corresponding.When the result who judges can keep this 2nd printing condition at once.
And then, at answer side (receiver side), this 2nd printing condition recorded and narrated in the entity of 200 OK response by SDP, and this 200 OK response is turned back to offer side (transmitter side).
The record content of the SDP of this moment, as shown below.But, only represented the part relevant with printing condition.
--------------------------
m=audio?49170?RTP/AVP?3
a=rtpmap:3GSM/8000
a=fmtp:gray
---------------------------
In addition, the result when above-mentioned judgement can not just then estimate the 3rd numeral at the 2nd printing condition at once in answer side (receiver side).Current, specify " 7 " as the 3rd numeral, so at answer side (receiver side), the identification printing condition is " printing condition type 7:L, a quality level 2 ".And, about the setting content of these " 7 ", as previously mentioned, be described in the row number the 6th~7 the row in, according to the 7th the row in the record " a=fmtp:color ", be identified as colored printing.
Then, at answer side (receiver side), whether at this 3rd printing condition, i.e. " printing condition type 7:L, colour, quality level 2 ", judging self can be corresponding.When the result who judges can keep this 3rd printing condition at once.
And then, at answer side (receiver side), this 3rd printing condition recorded and narrated in the entity of 200 OK response by SDP, and this 200 OK response is turned back to offer side (transmitter side).
The record content of the SDP of this moment, as shown below.But, only represented the part relevant with printing condition.
--------------------------
m=audio?49170?RTP/AVP?7
a=rtpmap:7LPC/8000
a=fmtp:color
--------------------------
And then, when the result of above-mentioned judgement at the 3rd printing condition answer side (receiver side) can not be at once, promptly can not generate " 415 Unsupported Media Type " or " 488 Not Acceptable Here " response as errored response (step S232) at once in answer side (receiver side) for the whole printing conditions that send from offer side (transmitter side).
Then, at answer side (receiver side), the errored response that is generated is turned back to offer side (transmitter side) (step S234).After this, at answer side (receiver side), finish communication (step S236) based on SIP.
Whether on the other hand, becoming the offer side of waiting for from the reception of the response of answer side (receiver side) (transmitter side), if be returned from the response of answer side (receiver side), be the judgement (step S210) of 200 OK response to this response then.
When the result who judges is 200 OK response, analyzes the record content (step S212) of the SDP of this master in real, and begin to send content-data (step S214) corresponding to printing condition according to this record content.For example, in the entity of 200 OK response, as printing condition that can be corresponding in answer side (receiver side), if recorded and narrated above-mentioned the 2nd printing condition, i.e. " printing condition type 3:B5, black and white; quality level 1 ", then as print content C, the preparation contents data are as mentioned above corresponding to this printing condition " printing condition type 3:B5, black and white; quality level 1 "
" image_b5_gray.jpg " is so this content-data is sent to answer side (receiver side).
With respect to this, the answer side (receiver side) of the state of waiting for for the reception of content-data begins to receive the content-data (step S228) that is sent.Particularly, as shown in Figure 5, promptly print terminal 108 in answer side (receiver side), the CPU30 of personal computer 112 if receive the content-data that sends via Department of Communication Force 32, then temporarily is saved in this content-data 36 in the memory 34.
After receive finishing (step S230),, become the state of waiting for from the reception of the next print content of offer side (transmitter side) (request from the offer side receives the state of waiting for) (step S218) at answer side (receiver side).Simultaneously, according to the printing condition that in step S222, keeps, i.e. " printing condition type 3:B5, black and white, quality level 1 ", begin printing according to content-data.Particularly, promptly print terminal 108 in answer side (receiver side), the CPU30 of personal computer 112, read content-data 36 from memory 34, and read out in the printing condition (i.e. the printing condition that sends from offer side (transmitter side)) that comprises in the content information 38, according to this printing condition, content-data is implemented desirable processing, and convert the data mode that in printer 114, can carry out printing to.CPU30 is if send to printer 114 with the content-data of print command after conversion, and then printer 114 prints according to this content-data, and the output print content.
So, promptly print terminal 108 in answer side (receiver side), being chosen in answer side (receiver side) among a plurality of printing conditions that send from offer side (transmitter side) can corresponding printing condition, and, can access print result according to its printing condition of selecting at the content-data that is transmitted.
On the other hand, at offer side (transmitter side), when the result of above-mentioned judgement is not 200 OK response, when answer side (receiver side) is returned the response that comes and is errored response, can not corresponding any one printing condition in answer side (receiver side), so finish communication (step S216) based on SIP.
B-3. the effect of embodiment:
According to this embodiment, before the transmission of content-data, in the process of the establishment of carrying out the session between personal computer 104 and the printing terminal 108, from offer side (transmitter side) is that personal computer 104 promptly prints terminal 108 to answer side (receiver side), via sip server 106, can transmit a plurality of printing conditions.In addition, can among these a plurality of printing conditions, select self can reply offer side (transmitter side) by corresponding printing condition at answer side (receiver side), and, will send to answer side (receiver side) corresponding to the content-data of this printing condition of replying at offer side (transmitter side).Therefore, promptly print terminal 108 in answer side (receiver side), according to the printing condition of among a plurality of printing conditions, selecting, can print according to content-data, so at answer side (receiver side), can export not just, also be print result according to receiver side user's hope according to transmitter side user's hope.
C. the 3rd embodiment:
In the above-mentioned the 1st and the 2nd embodiment, setting from offer side (transmitter side) is that personal computer 104 promptly prints terminal 108 to answer side (receiver side), can only send 1 print content simultaneously.To this, in this embodiment, set and to send a plurality of print contents simultaneously to answer side (receiver side) from offer side (transmitter side).In addition, herein, so-called " sending a plurality of print contents simultaneously " is in the identical session of having established, the meaning that the data of a plurality of print contents are sent in order.
C-1. the structure of embodiment:
In this embodiment, the structure of content distribution system itself is identical with the situation of the 1st embodiment shown in Figure 1, in addition, and as structure itself of each device of the structural element of system, also the situation with the 1st embodiment shown in Fig. 2~Fig. 5 is identical, so omit the explanation to them.
C-2. the action of embodiment:
In fact, the transmission of this embodiment and the 1st embodiment different is printing condition is handled, and other movement content is identical with the 1st embodiment, so in the following description, will be that the center describes with the difference.
So, the transmission of the printing condition of this embodiment is handled described.In this embodiment,, as shown below,, prepared 3 print content C1~C3 as the print content of wanting to send at transmitter side, about these print contents C1~C3, be respectively corresponding when the printing of printing end side printing condition and the print content prepared.And the printing condition type is corresponding with content shown in Figure 7.
A. print content C1
→ content-data: image1.jpg
→ printing condition type 0:A4, colour, quality level 1
B. print content C2
→ content-data: image2.jpg
→ printing condition type 3:B5, black and white, quality level 1
C. print content C3
→ content-data: image3.jpg
→ printing condition type 7:L, colour, quality level 2
In addition, in this embodiment, as mentioned above, can send a plurality of print contents simultaneously to answer side (receiver side) from offer side (transmitter side).Therefore, in this embodiment, among 3 print content C1~C3 that prepared in offer side (transmitter side), will can send to answer side (receiver side) simultaneously by corresponding a plurality of print contents in answer side (receiver side).
Figure 10 is the flow chart of the flow process of the processing of expression offer side among the printing condition in the content distribution system of this embodiment transmit to be handled, Figure 11 be identical printing condition transmit handle among the flow chart of flow process of processing of expression answer side.Be the processing that Figure 10 is illustrated in personal computer 104, Figure 11 is illustrated in the processing of printing terminal 108.
In the offer side, at first,, obtain its filename and corresponding printing condition (step S302) respectively, and these filenames and printing condition are recorded and narrated by SDP in the entity of INVITE request (step S304) for 3 print content C1~C3 that want to transmit.Concrete record content, for example, as shown below.But, only represented the part relevant with printing condition.In addition, the numeral of beginning is the row that uses for explanation number.

-------------------------------------
Herein, the part of the numeral of place, the end record of " m=" row (the 1st row), as mentioned above, become the part of specifying printing condition, at this moment, numeral is " 0 ", " 3 ", " 7 ", is expressed as " printing condition type 0 ", " printing condition type 3 ", " printing condition type 7 ".Next " m=" row has put down in writing corresponding each digital setting content in " a=" row (the 2nd~10 row).That is, in the 2nd~4 row to the setting content of this " 0 ", in the 5th~7 row to the setting content of these " 3 ", in the 8th~10 row, the setting content of these " 7 " is put down in writing respectively.
Compare with the situation of the 2nd embodiment, difference is, among these record contents, appended the filename of wanting the print content that transmits in 4,7,10 row.The record of these the 4th, 7,10 row does not have in the regulation of common SDP, and becomes expansion alone.
As previously mentioned, in the regulation of common SDP, the numeral (appointments of net load type) at place, the end of " m=" row partly becomes priority.In the 2nd above-mentioned embodiment, at answer side (receiver side), estimate in proper order, and return the 200OK response to offer side (transmitter side) in the moment of the corresponding printing condition (medium setting) of energy with this.Therefore, at answer side (receiver side), can not return a plurality of printing conditions (medium setting).For this reason, in the 2nd embodiment, become the print content that once can send to answer side (receiver side) and have only one from offer side (transmitter side).
To this, in this embodiment, by expanding the regulation of SDP alone, so that correspondence sends a plurality of printing conditions from offer side (transmitter side) simultaneously to answer side (receiver side).Particularly, the numerical portion at place, the end of " m=" row is not to use as priority, but the kind of the print content that expression is transmitted.
Therefore, corresponding to the printing condition of each digital " 0 ", " 3 ", " 7 " with and setting content become as shown below.
「0」:
→ print content C1
→ content-data: image1.jpg
→ printing condition type 0:A4, colour, quality level 1
「3」:
→ print content C2
→ content-data: image2.jpg
→ printing condition type 3:A5, black and white, quality level 1
「7」:
→ print content C3
→ content-data: image3.jpg
→ printing condition type 7:L, colour, quality level 2
Secondly, at offer side (transmitter side), send the INVITE request that so obtains to answer side (receiver side).After this, offer side (transmitter side) becomes the state of waiting for from the reception of the response of answer side (receiver side) (step S308).
