The decrypted document is printed and output in step S523.

At this time, authentication is confirmed by checking whether the owner of the document file (the person transferred from the file server 11) matches the person who instructed the printing. Since the document file is decrypted by the address information of the Bluetooth communication unit 21 of the mobile phone 12, even if the address information is decrypted by a different mobile phone, the document of the document file is not normally reproduced. Authentication of the individual is performed.

In this manner, the holder of the mobile phone 12 can copy the electronic file of the document file,
At any time, the document can be transferred to the printing device 14 via the print server 13 of the nearest station or the station scheduled to get off, where the printed document 15 of the target document file can be obtained.

In consideration of security, the document file name is encrypted by an address which is an identifier unique to the mobile phone 12 when transmitted from the mobile phone 12 to the file server 11, and decrypted by the file server 11. You. Further, the document file is transmitted after being encrypted by the Bluetooth address information of the mobile phone 12 in the file server 11 and is authenticated by being decrypted by the Bluetooth address information of the mobile phone in the print server 13. Protected.

In the above embodiment, the mobile phone 1
The user who is the two owners is in a range where the user can communicate with the print server 13 in the station premises, and transmits a print instruction to the print server 13 using a Bluetooth communication function. In this method, since data is transmitted and received only by the Bluetooth communication function built into the mobile phone 12 and the Bluetooth communication function of the print server 13, if the mobile phone holder does not go nearby, a print instruction is issued to the printing device. If the document file cannot be decrypted, and therefore the printed document of the document cannot be obtained, and if the mobile phone holder is away from the station, the Bluetooth address of the mobile phone becomes unknown, and later decrypted. The document is never printed, which is advantageous in terms of confidentiality.

In the above embodiment of the present invention, the print server is installed in the station premises as a set with the printing device. At a relatively large station, this system is likely to be used frequently, and it is more efficient for a print server to be provided for the station near the printing device.

It is configured with a printing device 64 connected thereto. Reference numeral 65 denotes a print document printed by the printing device 64.

In the example of this embodiment, communication between the mobile phone 12 and the central print server 62 is performed by mail communication or the like via the Internet. In the central print server 62, the document is decrypted with the Bluetooth address information of the mobile phone and transmitted to a predetermined printing device. However, since the document is transmitted via the JR intranet, confidentiality is maintained. The address information of the printing device 64 for which the document file is to be output is:
Distribution is performed by a Bluetooth communication device attached to the printing device 64 installed in each station. Also in this case, the user can go to a printing device installed in each station premises and issue a print instruction to obtain a printed document.

The advantages of this embodiment are that a network such as an existing intranet is used, and the server of the printing system can be centralized in the central printing server 62, so that the construction cost of the printing service system can be minimized. It is possible. Further, since the server system is concentrated in one place, there is also an advantage that the operation and maintenance cost and the operation cost can be operated more easily and at a lower cost than the above-described embodiment.

In the above embodiment of the present invention, a document file can be transmitted from the central print server 62 to a printing device installed in each station via the Internet.
In this case, each printing device is provided with a function of decrypting a document file based on a Bluetooth address, and transmitted from the central print server 62 to each printing device in an encrypted state. When printing is instructed, the document file is decrypted and printed using the Bluetooth address information of the mobile phone. With this configuration, since the data is transmitted from the central print server to the printing apparatus in an encrypted state, the security can be maintained high even if the data is transmitted via the Internet.

By the way, in each of the above-described embodiments, at least a printing device is provided in the station premises. However, the place where the printing apparatus is installed in the present invention is not limited to the station premises. In the present invention, only the printing apparatus, or the printing apparatus and the print server may be installed in an accommodation facility such as a hotel or a convenience store. Further, in the above embodiment of the present invention, the transmitted document is printed by the printing apparatus as it is. However, in the present invention, the document file can be displayed once, corrected, and then printed.

Next, such an embodiment of the present invention will be described. In this system, the document file transferred to the print server can be modified. If you are traveling on a business trip that is relatively long-distance and involves accommodation, and the hotel you stayed in has a business corner with office equipment, etc. You can borrow a personal computer to create and modify documents. This is a method in which the document file transferred to the print server is downloaded to a personal computer, corrected, and uploaded to the print server again, or printed as it is after the correction.

As shown in FIG. 7, the system includes a file server 71 for transferring necessary document files according to an instruction from a user, and a mobile phone 72 for performing instructions such as transfer and printing of the document files. A print server 73 that receives and stores the transfer document file from the file server 71 and receives and issues instructions for downloading and printing the document file from the user who operates the mobile phone 72; It comprises a personal computer 74 for downloading, modifying, and uploading a document, and a printing device 75 for printing a document file. 76 is the printing device 7

The personal computer 74 receives (downloads) the transfer document file from the print server 73 in step S821. In step S822, since the downloaded document file is encrypted with the Bluetooth address information of the mobile phone 72, the document file is decrypted using this address information. In step S823,
The decrypted document file is corrected using a document processing program of the personal computer 74 or the like.

In step S824, the corrected document file is encrypted again with the Bluetooth address information of the mobile phone 72. In step S825, the encrypted corrected document file is transmitted (uploaded) to the print server 73. .

The print server 73 receives this in step S812, and stores and stores it in an electronic file. Mobile phone 7
In step S2, a print instruction from the user is accepted in step S802 and transmitted to the print server 73.

Upon receiving the print instruction, the print server 73 reads the document file specified in step S813 from the electronic file, and decodes the document file with the Bluetooth address information of the mobile phone 72. In step S814, the decrypted document file is printed by the printing device 75 installed at the business corner of the hotel.

According to this embodiment of the present invention, there is an advantage that the transferred document file can be modified as well as directly printed using a personal computer or the like.

In the above embodiment of the present invention, the downloaded document file is decrypted, modified, encrypted, and uploaded to the print server again. However, in the present invention, after decrypting and correcting the downloaded document file,
Printing may be performed directly in the printing apparatus without encryption. This is easier if the print server is near the printing device. The document file to be corrected can be downloaded from a file server.

In the above embodiment of the present invention, the document file is encrypted and transferred to the print server. However, the document file is transferred via a dedicated line without using the Internet, or sent via the Internet. Even in this case, the encryption is not necessarily required when considerable security is provided such as when PVN is used.

In the above-described embodiment of the present invention, the instruction of printing to the printing apparatus has been described as being based on the Bluetooth communication function. However, in the present invention,
The present invention is not limited to the case where an actual print or download instruction is issued by the Bluetooth communication function.
