LED indicators and operation buttons on the helmet can control the start-up, shooting, or recording of the camera, and the micoUSB data interface can be used for charging, data copying, or connected to a PC camera. 3. An external vehicle-mounted display can be provided, which operates to real-time show the shot pictures or sceneries for users to browse through wireless communication technology.

An apparatus includes a recognition unit configured to recognize a function included in a communication partner and a determination unit configured to determine processing, which the communication partner performs on transmission data, according to the recognized function and a type of the transmission data.

A document processing system includes a controller for controlling at least one part of the document processing system, a user interface for allowing a user to interact with the document processing system, and a mobile device capable of communicating with the controller in the document processing system via a wireless link. A locating function is provided for locating the mobile device. The user interface has a hierarchical structure with at least three levels each of which is associated with a class of local entities each of which contains at least a part of the document processing system. The local entities are nested such that each lower level entity is contained in an entity associated with a superior level in the hierarchy. A selection function is provided for automatically selecting one of the hierarchical levels dependent upon the local entities in which the mobile device is located.

Provided is an image forming apparatus that optimizes the operating environment to correspond to a user. The image forming apparatus is capable of operating based on operation instructions received from a portable terminal of the user. The image forming apparatus includes a short-range-wireless-communication unit, an operating-environment-setting unit and an operation panel. The short-range-wireless-communication unit receives personal information data that includes either or both the physical condition and the nationality of the user by short-range wireless communication from the portable terminal. The operating-environment-setting unit sets an operating environment based on the received personal information data. The operation panel displays a display screen on which the operation instruction from the portable terminal is reflected in the set operating environment.

A mobile data processing method, in which a request for performing an imaging data request by an image processing apparatus is initiated from a user of a mobile device. The method includes receiving first information generated by an image processing apparatus and second information generated by the mobile device. The first information and the second information are received by an information processing apparatus via a public network. The first and second information are stored in association with each other. The method continues by determining if a print job was received with the first information and the second information. The method may conclude by transmitting the imaging data request to the image processing apparatus from the information processing apparatus via a private network in response to determining that the imaging data request was received with the first information and the second information.

An information processing apparatus that reduces power consumption using IEEE802.11ah connection without spoiling usability of wireless communication. The information processing apparatus includes a memory device that stores instructions, and a processor that executes the instructions to wirelessly communicate with an external apparatus by at least one of a first communication function that wireless communicates by a first wireless communication method that conforms to IEEE802.11ah and a second communication function that wirelessly communicates by a second wireless communication method of which a communication speed is higher than that of the first wireless communication method, determine whether an electric power state of the apparatus is a second electric power state in which power consumption is lower than a first electric power state, and prompt a user to set switching setting that stops the second communication function and starts the first communication function in the second electric power state.

An image forming apparatus supporting peer to peer (P2P) connection includes a print engine to perform a print operation; a first wireless interface to connect the image forming apparatus to an access point (AP) of an infrastructured network; a second wireless interface to connect the image forming apparatus to an external mobile device by P2P; a soft AP module to allow the image forming apparatus to perform as an AP when the image forming apparatus is P2P connected; a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server unit to allocate an internet protocol (IP) address to the mobile device that is P2P connected to the image forming apparatus; a soft AP activating unit to activate the soft AP module; and a control unit. If a discovery packet is received from the mobile device via P2P interface, the control unit is operable to control the image forming apparatus to process the discovery packet.

A display apparatus transmits a picture acquisition request for getting picture information to an external image apparatus connected through a predetermined interface to the display apparatus from the external image apparatus at predetermined intervals and gets a plurality of pieces of picture information from the external image apparatus to be displayed. The plurality of pictures may be switched at predetermined intervals, for example, to be displayed, so that the plurality of pictures may be displayed in a so-called slide show manner. A plurality of pictures for thumbnail may be produced from the plurality of pieces of picture information and be arranged together to be displayed in one picture screen of a display device.

A function executing device is configured to send a wireless identifier to a communication device via a first type of wireless communication interface for setting up a wireless connection. The function executing device is configured to determine whether the function executing device is in an error state and, if not, to establish the wireless connection via a second type of wireless communication interface. The function executing device operates in a parent state in the wireless connection. Additionally, print data may be received from the communication device. However, if the function executing device is in an error state the wireless connection is not established via the second type of wireless communication interface.

A communication system comprising an information processing apparatus and a mobile terminal, wherein when the mobile terminal receives a packet transmitted from the information processing apparatus, it determines whether or not a login condition for transmitting a login request is satisfied based on a received signal strength of the packet, and it transmits the login request to the information processing apparatus in a case where it determines that the login condition is satisfied, and does not transmit the login request to the information processing apparatus in a case where it is determines that the login condition is not satisfied.
