Abstract
An Internet imaging device, such as camera, scanner and digital television display, is disclosed. The device combines the advantages of platform-independent page description languages, such as Adobe PostScript 3, with an imaging device that connects directly to remote locations via the Internet. The device outputs image data and image processing commands in a platform-independent page description language via cordless communication such as a cellular phone. The data are transferred directly to remote display units, such as printers and digital televisions, thereby eliminating two personal computers (PCs): one at the input end of the communication and one at the output end. The device taught by the present invention need not include a flash memory or other storage medium, as images are transferred directly when generated.
