A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing computer-readable instructions for a mobile terminal is provided. The computer readable instructions may cause the mobile terminal to transmit authentication information, indicating authorization of the mobile terminal to instruct a facsimile machine to execute a facsimile transmitting action with use of first sender information, to a facsimile machine; determine receipt of the first sender information transmitted from the facsimile machine; transmit first facsimile instructing information for instructing the facsimile machine to execute the facsimile transmitting action with use of the received first sender information to the facsimile machine in response to determination of receiving the first sender information; and transmit second facsimile instructing information for instructing the facsimile machine to execute the facsimile transmitting action without using the first sender information to the facsimile machine in response to determination of not receiving the first sender information.

An image forming apparatus including: a wireless communication circuitry configured to make a wireless communication with a portable information processing device including a display unit; and a computer and a memory storing a program causing the computer to execute: a recognition step recognizing a portable information processing device that is within a communicable range through communication via the wireless communication circuitry; a job setting step receiving a job setting; and a job control step receiving a start instruction and executing a job in response to the start instruction, wherein the job setting step receives the job setting, which is made in the portable information processing device, via the wireless communication circuitry after the portable information processing device falls within the communicable range, and the job control step accepts reception from the portable information processing device of an instruction to rearrange the order of the execution of the job among jobs which await their starts.

A communication device including a processor configured to, when executing processor-executable instructions stored in a storage unit, perform determining a first configurable range including setting values stored in the storage unit, acquiring, from an image processing apparatus via a communication unit, a second configurable range including setting values for image processing executable by the image processing apparatus, determining whether the first configurable range is equal to the second configurable range, when determining that the first configurable range is equal to the second configurable range, transmitting an image processing instruction to perform an image processing operation according to the setting values of the first configurable range stored in the storage unit, to the image processing apparatus via the communication unit, and when determining that the first configurable range is different from the second configurable range, restricting transmission of the image processing instruction to the image processing apparatus.

Embodiments of a fax system with adaptive protocol selection, and methods for such a system, are disclosed herein. Embodiments of a fax system may be adapted to selectively configure the protocol (both the type of protocol or aspects of a particular protocol) used in association with the transmission or reception of a specific fax. The configuration of the protocol utilized can be based on one or more attributes associated with a sender or a destination. The fax can then be transmitted or received according to those configuration parameters.

A communication apparatus equipped with a direct wireless communication function for executing a direct wireless communication with an external apparatus includes a memory that stores a program, and a processor that executes the program. The program, in a case that a first setting for instructing to use a Service Set Identifier, SSID, corresponding to a user who logs in to the communication apparatus, is set in the communication apparatus, executes the direct wireless communication function using the SSID corresponding to the user who logs in to the communication apparatus, and in a case that a second setting for instructing to use an SSID that is different from a previous SSID which is generated previously is set in the communication apparatus, executes the direct wireless communication function using the SSID that is different from the previous SSID.

A communication apparatus searches for a device using a first wireless communication, instructs, using the first wireless communication, a device selected from a list based the result of the search to operate in an access point mode, obtains, using the first wireless communication, connection information from the device operating in the access point mode, establishes a second wireless connection with the device based on the obtained connection information.

The image processing apparatus performs a communication process targeting an external apparatus via a network. When performing a communication process, the image processing apparatus determines whether or not the external apparatus which is a target of the communication process is registered in a destination list in which apparatuses corresponding to a predetermined condition are registered. In accordance with the timeout period determined based on the determination result, the image processing apparatus determines that a timeout has occurred in the communication process. The image processing apparatus updates the destination list according to the determination result of the occurrence of the timeout and the determination result as to whether or not the external apparatus is registered in the destination list. Thereby, it is possible to provide an image processing apparatus capable of quickly executing communication process because the transmission/reception buffer is less likely to run out.

Systems and methods to automatically transfer audiovisual content include camera devices, client computing devices, and centralized servers. A camera device captures audiovisual content and notifies an external entity, e.g., a (client) computing device or a centralized server. The external entity may effectuate transfer of the content to other computing devices and/or destinations. Operations on the audiovisual content, including but not limited to tagging, transcoding, clipping, speed changes, and/or image cropping, are synchronized and propagated across different computing devices and the centralized server such that any user from any computing device can be presented with the latest version of any particular audiovisual content.

A communication apparatus and a method for controlling same, where a wireless communication unit operates in a direct wireless communication mode that executes direct wireless communication between an external apparatus and the communication apparatus. When a user of the communication apparatus is specified, at least user information of the user is used to generate an SSID that is used in the direct wireless communication mode.

An image forming apparatus comprising: a wireless communication circuitry configured to make a wireless communication with a portable information processing device including: a display unit for displaying a simplified job setting screen on the portable information processing device side; and an operation unit for displaying a full job setting screen on the image forming apparatus side; and a computer and a memory storing a program causing the computer to execute: a recognition step recognizing a portable information processing device that is within a communicable range through communication via the wireless communication circuitry; a job setting step receiving a job setting; and a job control step receiving a start instruction and executing the job in response to the start instruction, wherein the job setting step receives the job setting, which is made by use of the simplified job setting screen, from the portable information processing device, via the wireless communication circuitry after the portable information processing device falls within the communicable range or receives the job setting, which is made by use of the full job setting screen, from the operation unit; and the full job setting screen provides not only corresponding set items but also additional information on the item to the simplified job setting screen.
