Abstract
This invention discloses a method and a client for printing based on Bluetooth communication, wherein the client may be a computer, which is connected to a printing end via a Bluetooth basic print application BPP. A file converting module is added to the client. When the user prints a file object in this file format via a related application program in a certain file format, the file converting module acquires the file object from a print sub-system of an operation system, and converts the file object to a XHTML-Print format completely supported by the BPP print end and sends to the print end. According to this invention, the file object of each file format of the client can be printed on the print end via the Bluetooth BPP application.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to Bluetooth technology, relate to a kind of method and computing machine that prints by the basic print application BPP of bluetooth particularly.
Background technology
Traditional print procedure generally is a client (as computing machine) and print end and interconnect by cable, and client sends to file and data and prints end and print.But corresponding to different printing ends, client at first must be installed different print drive.
The appearance of bluetooth (Bluetooth) technology, solved various cables troubling to the user, use widely at present at multiple electronic product, as computing machine (Personal Computer, PC), mobile computer, personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assist, PDA), mobile phone, digital camera etc.Bluetooth standard has defined basic print application BPP (Basic PrintProfile), stipulated that the file object of storing on the clients such as computing machine, mobile phone, PDA carries out the correlation technique of wireless printing, these file objects mainly are the literary composition retainings of Email, short message and prescribed form, also can be electronic business card (vCard), electronic calendar Format Objects such as (vCalendar).In addition, BPP also supports indirect printing function, by client transmission target address information, allows and prints end searching and print object on network.By bluetooth BPP application carrying out wireless printing, client need not to install the print drive of printing end corresponding to BPP.
The common print file form that BPP supported has XHTML-Print, Basic Text, Vcard, VCalendar and vMessage.Except XHTML-Print be BPP print that end must support, other all are optional.According to the requirement of XHTML-Print, must be able to support the printing of jpeg image format with the printing end of BPP compatibility.Because it is limited to print the end processing power, the general printing that several active file forms only are provided, and the powerful client of abilities such as computing machine, the user can install the affiliate application of various file layouts as required, with the functions such as reading, editor and printing of the file object of realizing the corresponding document form.Therefore, exist the user to need typescripts to print the unsupported file layout of end to liking, thus the problem that causes the user can not follow one's bent and print.
Consider these defectives of prior art, need provide a kind of bluetooth BPP that can make to print method and client that the compatible multiple file layout of end is printed, make things convenient for the user to carry out the wireless printing of the file object of various file layouts.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of method, client and system that prints based on Bluetooth communication.
An aspect of of the present present invention has proposed a kind of method that prints based on Bluetooth communication, comprises step:
Connection Step: client is set up the basic print application BPP of bluetooth with the printing end and is connected;
The file conversion step: the user browses the typescripts object of wanting in client by the affiliate application of certain file layout, and on this affiliate application, print the feature operation of this document object, make this document object send to the printer subsystem of operating system via this affiliate application; Add a file conversion module in client, this document modular converter obtains this document object from printer subsystem, and this document object is converted to prints the file layout that end is supported, make client that this document object is sent to the file layout of printing end and being supported and print end; And
Printing step: print end and print this document object.
Described client is preferably computing machine, also can be the smart mobile phone that possesses operating system, and wherein operating system comprises Windows operating system, (SuSE) Linux OS, has printer subsystem.Described printing end is a bluetooth BPP printer, or supports the equipment of bluetooth BPP function and the combination of conventional printer.Affiliate application can provide reading to the user, edit, prints the functions such as file object of certain file layout, for example Microsoft Word be "
*.doc " affiliate application of the file object of form; MicrosoftExcel be "
*Xls " affiliate application of file object of form.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, because requirement according to XHTML-Print, must be able to support the printing of jpeg image format with the printing end of BPP compatibility, the file conversion module of client is converted to the compressed document image form jpeg format that this printing end is supported with file object, and the file object of this jpeg format is encapsulated as the XHTML-Print form sends to and print end and print.Can guarantee that like this inventive method is applicable to any printing end of supporting that BPP uses.
When the user when client is printed the file object of this document form by the affiliate application of certain file layout, the file object that the printer subsystem of operating system will be obtained from affiliate application converts the PCL/PS form to.For the ease of the file layout conversion subsequent operation of file object, preferably, in printer subsystem, carry out unified print parameters setting, make printer subsystem export unified PCL or the printing language format of PS.The file conversion module is obtained the file object of PCL/PS form from printer subsystem after, the file object with the PCL/PS form is converted to jpeg format again.Wherein, the file conversion module can embed printer subsystem, also can separate existence with printer subsystem, and both function implementation methods are identical.
Another aspect of the present invention has proposed a kind of client that prints based on Bluetooth communication, and the print system of client and printing end composition.Wherein client comprises: bluetooth module, be used for carrying out Bluetooth communication with the printing end, and support the basic print application BPP of bluetooth; The affiliate application of various file objects is used to browse the typescripts object of wanting, and supports to print the feature operation of this document object; The printer subsystem of operating system is used for obtaining this document object that will print from various affiliate applications; And the file conversion module, from printer subsystem, obtain this document object, and this document object is converted to the file layout that the printing end is supported.Client holds the file layout of being supported to send to the printing end to print this document object by bluetooth module, prints end printing this document object.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the file conversion module of client at first is converted to file object the compressed document image form jpeg format that this printing end is supported, the file object of this jpeg format is encapsulated as the XHTML-Print form again and sends to and print end and print.Preferably, in printer subsystem, carry out unified print parameters setting, make printer subsystem export unified PCL or the printing language format of PS.File conversion module is like this obtained PCL/PS formatted file object from printer subsystem after, the file object with the PCL/PS form is converted to jpeg format again.
Described client is preferably computing machine or possesses the smart mobile phone of operating system.Described printing end can be a bluetooth BPP printer, also can be to support the equipment of bluetooth BPP function and the combination of conventional printer.
