An image forming apparatus includes a first wireless communication unit that performs wireless communication based on a first wireless communication method, a second wireless communication unit that performs wireless communication based on a second wireless communication method different from the first wireless communication method, and a prioritized control unit that performs a control based on information related to a communication destination of the first wireless communication unit and information related to a communication destination of the second wireless communication unit such that one wireless communication unit of the first wireless communication unit or the second wireless communication unit is operated in a prioritized manner over another wireless communication unit.

A communication apparatus includes: a transmitting unit that is capable of transmitting data to a designated destination through any of plural communication interfaces; a storage unit in which plural pieces of destination information are stored; and a registration unit that registers a communication interface used for data transmission in advance for each of the plural pieces of destination information stored in the storage unit.

The present invention is directed to a technique for reducing communication errors in facsimile transmission while restraining an increase in the temperature of a motor during execution of jobs of different types when a temperature reduction control is executed.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor that is programmed to acquire an organization information from another apparatus. In response to determining that: i) an organization information of the information processing apparatus and an organization information of the another apparatus do not match; and (ii) an authentication information set in the information processing apparatus remains to be a default setting, the processor is programmed to make no response to, or reject, an access request from the another apparatus.

In an embodiment, an apparatus is provided that may include circuitry to generate, at least in part, and/or receive, at least in part, at least one request that at least one network node generate, at least in part, information. The information may be to permit selection, at least in part, of (1) at least one power consumption state of the at least one network node, and (2) at least one time period. The at least one time period may be to elapse, after receipt by at least one other network node of at least one packet, prior to requesting at least one change in the at least one power consumption state. The at least one packet may be to be transmitted to the at least one network node. Of course, many alternatives, modifications, and variations are possible without departing from this embodiment.

A communication device may receive first specific information from a first terminal device, establish a second wireless connection with a second terminal device after the first specific information has been received from the first terminal device, receive second specific information from the second terminal device after the second wireless connection has been established with the second terminal device, determine whether the first terminal device is identical to the second terminal device by using the first specific information and the second specific information in a case where the second specific information is received from the second terminal device, disconnect the second wireless connection in a case where it is determined that the first terminal device is not identical to the second terminal device, and not disconnect the second wireless connection in a case where it is determined that the first terminal device is identical to the second terminal device.

In an embodiment, an apparatus is provided that may include circuitry to generate, at least in part, and/or receive, at least in part, at least one request that at least one network node generate, at least in part, information. The information may be to permit selection, at least in part, of (1) at least one power consumption state of the at least one network node, and (2) at least one time period. The at least one time period may be to elapse, after receipt by at least one other network node of at least one packet, prior to requesting at least one change in the at least one power consumption state. The at least one packet may be to be transmitted to the at least one network node. Of course, many alternatives, modifications, and variations are possible without departing from this embodiment.

An information processing apparatus capable of a wireless LAN connection with a mobile terminal, wherein, when the information processing apparatus, in a state being caused to shift to a state being capable of accepting a Wi-Fi Direct connection request from the mobile terminal, receives the Wi-Fi Direct connection request from the mobile terminal, whether or not an authenticated user has logged in to the information processing apparatus is determined, and, in a case that it is determined that an authenticated user has logged in to the information processing apparatus, Wi-Fi Direct connection processing with the mobile terminal is started.

The present invention is directed to a technique for reducing communication errors in facsimile transmission while restraining an increase in the temperature of a motor during execution of jobs of different types when a temperature reduction control is executed.

There is provided an image processing apparatus. A changing unit changes settings relative to image data generated by a reading unit for reading a document, in a case where it is not possible to store the image data in a predetermined memory. An image processing unit performs image processing on the image data generated according to the changed settings. A display displays a preview image of the image data subjected to the image processing in the case where it is possible to store the processed image data in the memory.
