There is provided an image processing apparatus that transmits data relating to an internal component to a server via a network, and the image processing apparatus includes a hardware processor that: acquires the data relating to the internal component; judges whether or not it is a transmission timing at which the data acquired is to be transmitted to the server; confirms an operation state of another image processing apparatus connected to the network in a case where it is judged that it is the transmission timing; decides whether or not to transmit the data acquired to the server based on a confirmation result; and transmits the data acquired to the server in a case where it is decided to perform data transmission.

An information processing apparatus comprises: a communication unit which performs short-range wireless communication with an external apparatus configured to provide a predetermined function; a first determination unit which determines, based on information obtained from the external apparatus by the communication unit, whether to perform authentication processing in order to utilize the predetermined function of the external apparatus; and an authentication unit which performs the authentication processing if the first determination unit determines to perform the authentication processing.

A control method for an information processing apparatus that performs wireless communication with a communication apparatus includes receiving, via a communication in a state in which pairing between the communication apparatus and the information processing apparatus is complete, predetermined information transmitted from the communication apparatus in a case where the communication apparatus is in a predetermined error state, and causes a display unit to display a screen for eliminating an error occurring in the communication apparatus, wherein, in a case where the pairing is complete, a screen including first information for eliminating the predetermined error state is displayed based on the received predetermined information, and, in a case where the pairing is not complete, a screen including second information different from the first information is displayed.

A mobile terminal improved in operability concerning fax transmission. A CPU of the mobile terminal sets information indicative of a fax transmission destination, sets reading and transmission information concerning fax transmission and original reading, and sends a request for fax transmission, to an image forming apparatus. When a response notifying capability of fax transmission is received from the apparatus, the CPU causes a message for prompting a user to set an original, to be displayed on a display section. When the original has been set and an instruction for fax transmission from the user is received, the CPU sends an instruction for reading the original and executing fax transmission, together with the transmission destination information, and the reading and transmission information, to the apparatus. The CPU causes a result of fax transmission by the apparatus to be displayed on the display section.

A CPU of a printer requests a first external device to supply electric power via a first interface through communications according to the USB standard. When the CPU determines that the requested electric power is to be unsupplied from the first external device, the CPU requests a second external device to supply the electric power via a second interface.

A CPU of an MFP receives battery information from a first external device via a first interface, determines whether a total amount of electric power supplied to a plurality of interfaces from a power supply is maintained, and reduces an amount of the electric power supplied to the first external device via the first interface in a case where determining that the first external device has no battery based on the battery information in response to determining that the total amount of the electric power supplied to the plurality of the interfaces from the power supply is not maintained.

A communication apparatus includes a first determination unit that, in a case where a use request for a wireless local area network (LAN) setting service has been received, determines whether a communication in a wireless LAN infrastructure mode is in execution, a transmission unit that, in a case where it is determined that a communication in the wireless LAN infrastructure mode is in execution, transmits information indicating that the wireless LAN setting service is unavailable to a terminal apparatus, and, in a case where it is determined that no communication in the wireless LAN infrastructure mode is in execution, transmits information indicating that the wireless LAN setting service is available to the terminal apparatus, and an activation unit that, in a case where it is determined that no communication in the wireless LAN infrastructure mode is in execution, activates the wireless LAN setting service.

In a communication apparatus, a processor receives first and second requests from an external device via an internet. The first request has first port information indicating a first port. The second request has second port information indicating a second port. In response to receiving the first and second requests, the processor transmits first and second responses to the external device via the internet. After transmitting the first response and the second response, the processor receives result information from the external device via the internet. The result information is based on a fact that the external apparatus receives the first request and the second request; and performing an addressing process on a basis of the result information. The addressing process is for addressing a security issue concerning the first port and the second port.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program readable by a computer of a communication apparatus, the computer program causing the communication apparatus to: when first trigger information for establishing first wireless connection is received, supply a first connection instruction to a first wireless interface and store device information into a memory; when second trigger information is received, supply a second connection instruction to the first wireless interface; and in a specific case where it is not possible to re-establish first wireless connection with the external apparatus, display, on a display, display information for re-establishing the first wireless connection with the external apparatus. The display information includes first display information in case the device information is first device information, and second display information in case the device information is second device information.

An information processing device includes a retaining unit and an image display. The retaining unit retains image-formation-related information of an image forming apparatus that forms an image. The image display causes a display section of a portable terminal having the display section and an image capturing section to display an image for assisting with an operation of the image forming apparatus based on a captured image result of the image capturing section and the image-formation-related information retained in the retaining unit.
