Re-connection processing is performed on the basis of suitable setting. An image capture apparatus is an image capture apparatus capable of performing wireless communication with a mobile terminal, and includes a connection control information setting unit and a communication control unit. The connection control information setting unit sets connection control information. A transmission interval of a wireless signal relevant to the wireless communication is controlled on the basis of the connection control information which is set is the connection control information setting unit.

An image processing apparatus of the present invention displays a transmission setting screen for a user to set a transmission destination of image data, and when a transmission instruction is received from a user, transmits the image data to a destination set via the transmission setting screen. Meanwhile, if destination information is received from an external apparatus, a screen displayed on a display unit is changed to a transmission setting screen, and a destination designated by the received the destination information is set as a transmission destination of the image data.

A communication apparatus communicates with an information processing apparatus by a wireless communication method by broadcasting an advertising signal based on a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) standard. In a case where a first advertising signal which includes information indicating an apparatus state is broadcasted and of which a radio wave strength is set to a first radio wave strength and where a connection request is not received even after a predetermined time has elapsed since broadcasting the first advertising signal, the radio wave strength of the first advertising signal is changed to a second radio wave strength that is higher than the first radio wave strength. In a case where a second advertising signal which does not include the information indicating the apparatus state is broadcasted and of which the radio wave strength is set to the first radio wave strength and where the connection request is not received even after the predetermined time has elapsed since broadcasting the second advertising signal, the radio wave strength of the second advertising signal is not changed.

A communication apparatus capable of communicating with an external device via a wireless network, comprises: a transmission unit configured to transmit relevant information regarding data to be transmitted to the external device, before connecting to the wireless network; a reception unit configured to receive a response to the relevant information transmitted; a connection unit configured to connect to the wireless network, in a case where the response is received; a data communication unit configured to establish communication and transmit the data, after the connection unit has connected to the wireless network; a conversion unit configured to convert data; and a specification unit configured to specify relevant information regarding data to be converted, wherein in a case of converting the data to be transmitted, the transmission unit transmits relevant information regarding the data to be converted.

An image forming apparatus may include a communication unit configured to communicate with a portable electronic device and a controller configured to receive a location-related information that includes information about distances between the portable electronic device and a plurality of beacons, and store a location of the portable electronic device to register a location of the image forming apparatus.

An image processing apparatus of the present invention displays a transmission setting screen for a user to set a transmission destination of image data, and when a transmission instruction is received from a user, transmits the image data to a destination set via the transmission setting screen. Meanwhile, if destination information is received from an external apparatus, a screen displayed on a display unit is changed to a transmission setting screen, and a destination designated by the received the destination information is set as a transmission destination of the image data.

Methods and apparatus are described for receiving a fax transmission at a mobile phone. In one embodiment, the mobile phone receives an incoming call and answers the incoming call, upon receiving a command from a user of the mobile phone to answer the incoming call. A program on the mobile phone then detects that the incoming call is a fax transmission, and then places an outgoing call to a fax server. The program on the mobile phone then conferences the incoming call with the outgoing call to the fax server, such that the fax server receives the fax transmission. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

A wetness notification system includes a sampling unit (5) for contacting and sampling liquid within a space surrounded by a clothing article (10), a moisture detector (3) mounted in the clothing article (10) and outputting a notification signal, a processor module (6) for transceiving the notification signal, a camera device (9) and a user device (4) . The camera device (9) includes a camera (90) facing the sampling unit (5) for capturing an image thereof, and a camera transceiver (902) for transceiving the image. The user device (4) includes a display (47) , a device transceiver (41) communicating wirelessly with the processor module (6) and the camera transceiver (902) for receiving the notification signal and the image respectively therefrom, and a device processor (42) electrically connected to the device transceiver (41), and timing a time duration upon receiving the notification signal to output a control signal after the time duration has elapsed to enable the the camera (90) to capture the image, and controlling the display (47) to display the image.

A mobile telephone receives, constructs and displays an image from a server over a mobile telephone network. The server determines the parameters for data transfer from the server to the mobile telephone, the capabilities of the mobile telephone, transfer task requirements, and apportions the processing between the server and the mobile telephone for each of a plurality of elements in each image, thereby to meet the task requirement, which can include being within a predetermined time for task completion, or being the fastest means for task completion. Parameters for data transfer from server to telephone include server transmission bandwidth, phone reception bandwidth, data channel bandwidth, transmission protocol, and channel accessibility. Phone capabilities include the data processing speed, the available memory, display size, and the data processing software available; Task requirements include the maximum transmission time and the minimum display resolution of the image.

An image processing apparatus is provided that includes a first communication device, a second communication device, an informing device, and a controller configured to control the first communication device to establish first communication with an information processing terminal device that is within a predetermined communicable distance from the first communication device, and to control the second communication device to transmit, to the information processing terminal device, target data that has been informed of by the informing device at a time when the first communication is established between the first communication device and the information processing terminal device.
