A printing device has a print unit for printing on roll paper; a wireless communication unit for communicating wirelessly with a paired control device; and a controller for receiving print data by wireless communication from the control device, and controlling the print unit based on the received print data. When changing from a pairing-disabled mode to a pairing-enabled mode, the controller controls the print unit to print pairing-related information on roll paper, does not process pairing in the pairing-disabled mode, and processes pairing when a pairing request is received in the pairing-enabled mode.

A control method of an information processing device that communicates with a communication device includes accepting a connection processing instruction to connect the communication device with at least one external device, and performing processing to execute newly, in a case that the connection processing instruction is accepted and the communication device is not connected to any external device, the connection processing.

A non-transitory storage medium stores instructions which cause an information processor to execute: a first determination processing for determining whether at least one of a first condition, a second condition, and a third condition is established; a first communication processing for receiving input data obtained from an input device and transmitting the input data to an output device, when at least one of the first condition, the second condition, and the third condition is established; and a second communication processing for transmitting instruction information to the input device when none of at least one condition determined in the first determination processing among the first condition, the second condition, and the third condition is established. The instruction information is for instructing the input device to transmit the input data to the output device.

A media recorder is operable to receive broadcast media data from a media data source. The media recorder comprises a storage element for storing at least a portion of the media data, and a receiver for receiving a sequence of video images from a video camera. The media recorder further comprises a user detector for detecting whether a user is attending to a presentation of the media data, and a media presentation status detector operable to detect whether the presentation of the media item has ended. If the user detector detects that the user is not attending to the presentation, the user detector is operable to cause the storage element to store the media data. If the media presentation status detector detects that presentation of the media item has ended, the media presentation status detector is operable to cause the media recorder to enter a stand-by mode.

A communication apparatus searches for a device by reading a two-dimensional code displayed by the device and notifies a user to use a direct wireless communication function of the device in a case where the device cannot be detected.

An example peripheral device implementation system and associated methods are described. The example peripheral device implementation system includes a central database, a peripheral service including a peripheral service interface, a communication platform, non-transitory computer-readable medium, and a processing device. The processing device can be configured to establish communication between a cloud environment and the central database, the peripheral service, and a client device. The processing device can be configured to establish communication between a peripheral device and the cloud environment, and automatically perform a self-registration of the peripheral device to the cloud environment. Using the processing device, the client device can be notified of communication with the peripheral device, and a first request can be electronically transmitted from the client device to the cloud environment, from the cloud environment to the peripheral service, and from the peripheral service to the peripheral device to perform a function with the peripheral device.

The present invention is concerning to an image management system that communicates with a first communication terminal via a communication network, the image management system comprising: an image storage unit configured to store image data; a receiving unit configured to receive, from the first communication terminal, link information that includes image identification information for identifying the image data and includes predetermined-area information that indicates a predetermined area in the image data; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit, to the first communication terminal, the image data that is indicated by the image identification information included in the link information received by the receiving unit and the predetermined-area information included in the link information.

A mechanism in which, even if a case in which an information processing apparatus has a plurality of methods for specifying an image forming apparatus to which to connect, a selection of the method and a selection of an alternative method for a case when specifying an image forming apparatus is not possible in a predetermined method are suitably executed is provided.

To accomplish this, an information processing apparatus sets destination information, searches for peripheral devices by using wireless communication, and if devices can be found, transmits the destination information to a device that the user selects from among the results of the search, and if a device could not be found, makes a recommendation to the user to use a reading function for reading a QR code in order to specify a transmission destination for the destination information.

An information processing system includes an apparatus, and an information processing apparatus including a search unit configured to search for the apparatus through a wireless communication, a request unit configured to request the apparatus for an execution of an input or an output of data in response to an event where the search unit finds the apparatus, and an execution unit configured to cause the information processing apparatus to execute the input or the output of the data in response to an event where the search unit does not find the apparatus.
