Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives print instruction information to print data, a memory that stores the print instruction information received by the receiving unit, a management unit that manages an output order of the print instruction information, an execution unit that executes a printing process according to the print instruction information in the output order, and a near field communication unit that performs near field communication. In a case where a connection via the near field communication is established, and when the receiving unit receives print instruction information through the near field communication unit, and where there is print instruction information previously stored in the memory, the management unit gives priority to print instruction information received through the near field communication unit over print instruction information previously stored in the memory.
Abstract:
In a case where a first information including an execution request of a specific function via a first type of interface (22) is received, a function executing device (10) may execute a change process for changing an interface for communicating with a terminal device (50) from the first type of interface (22) to a second type of interface (20) in a case where a state of the function executing device (10) is determined as a non-error state. The function executing device (10) may not execute the change process in a case where the state of the function executing device (10) is determined as an error state. The specific function may include a communication process for communicating object data with the terminal device (50). The function executing device (10) may execute the specific function including the communication process via the second type of interface (20) in a case where the change process is being executed.
Abstract:
In one example, a print job is received from a first mobile computing device. The print job is stored in association with a job identifier. The job identifier is sent to the first mobile device. A release code is received from a second mobile computing device. The release code includes the job identifier and a directive regarding printing or forwarding of the job, and was received at the second mobile device from the first device via a wireless transaction. A network-connected printer associated with the second device is identified. Responsive to a determination that the release code is valid, the print job is sent to the printer.
Abstract:
An operation for an operation unit is detected. If the operation is detected (S701) and a communication unit executes close proximity wireless communication with an external apparatus (S704), a confirmation screen for confirming execution of processing corresponding to the operation for the operation unit is displayed (S705).
Abstract:
A processing apparatus having a function to perform specific processing based on a request from a terminal is provided. The processing apparatus includes a connection portion configured to connect the processing apparatus to the terminal; and a display control portion configured to control the terminal to display a second screen including a part or a whole of a first screen, the first screen having been displayed in the terminal by another processing apparatus with the function before the processing apparatus connects to the terminal.
Abstract:
A communication apparatus includes a communicating unit, and a controller configured to control communication through the communicating unit. When another communication device comes within a predetermined distance from the communicating unit (S510), the controller receives device identification information for identifying the other device from the other device through the communicating unit (S545), stores correlation information correlating the received device identification information with image identification information identifying image data to be transferred into a predetermined storage device (S555). The controller transfers the image data to be transferred to the other communication device based on the stored correlation information (S575).
Abstract:
A communication system may comprise an information processing device (100) and a communication device (51). Communication between the communication device and the information processing device using the first wireless communication scheme (NFC) may be performed. The communication device may send the connectable network identification information to the information processing device. Communication between the information processing device and the communication device using the second wireless communication scheme (Wifi-infra, WFD, Bluetooth) and using the second network (155, 156) may be executed, in case that the first network (154) belongs is not included in one or more networks identified by the connectable network identification information. Communication between the information processing device and the communication device using the second wireless communication scheme and using the first network may be executed, in case that the first network is included in the one or more networks identified by the one or more connectable network identification information.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus (60) to support a near field communication (NFC) function receives address book information stored in a user terminal by tagging the user terminal (1601), and generates a quick menu in which image forming functions related to the received address book information are listed (1602) and displays the quick menu on a user interface unit (1603).
Abstract:
A method of registering use of a mobile terminal that supports a near field communication (NFC) function, to an image forming apparatus, the image forming apparatus using the method, a method of requesting registration of the use of the mobile terminal supporting the NFC function, and the mobile terminal using the method, which enable registration of use of the mobile terminal to the image forming apparatus without a manager when the mobile terminal performs initial NFC with the image forming apparatus by NFC tagging.
Abstract:
In an information processing apparatus (200) capable of executing a first wireless communication method and a second wireless communication method having a communication range wider than that of the first wireless communication method, an apparatus to be caused to execute predetermined processing is searched for using both the first wireless communication method and the second wireless communication method. When a common apparatus has been found by both the first wireless communication method and the second wireless communication method, the common apparatus is decided as the apparatus to be caused to execute the predetermined processing by the second wireless communication method.
