Communication apparatus
A first communication apparatus may repeat a broadcast transmission of a trigger signal via a second interface, which is a signal to be used by a second communication apparatus as a trigger for sending a wireless connection request to the first communication apparatus. The wireless connection request may be for forming a first wireless network to which both the first communication apparatus and the second communication apparatus belong. The first wireless network may be a network for performing a wireless communication via a first interface. The first communication apparatus may receive the wireless connection request via the first interface from the second communication apparatus which has received the trigger signal, and establish a first wireless connection via the first interface with the second communication apparatus so as to form the first wireless network.
INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
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.
Multi-function device with grammar-based workflow search
A method is disclosed. For example, the method executed by a processor of a multi-function device (MFD) includes receiving a grammar-based voice search for a workflow, processing the grammar-based voice search into normalized terms associated with the MFD, searching for workflows that match the normalized terms from the grammar-based voice search, and displaying matching workflows in a sorted order on a user interface of the MFD.

Communication apparatus, communication method, and nontransitory computer readable storage medium that resends data when no response is received and records the result
A communication apparatus comprises: a sending unit that sends data to a designated destination; a receiving unit that receives a response to the send by the sending unit; a recording unit that records information relating to a send when the send is performed by the sending unit, and associates and records, when a response to the send is further received by the receiving unit, information of a send-source of the response; and a control unit that causes the sending unit to resend data based on information recorded in the recording unit, wherein the control unit causes the sending unit to resend data to a destination indicated by information, among the recorded information, for which a predetermined time has elapsed since the recording and for which a response has not been received by the receiving unit.
Communication apparatus
A communication apparatus may determine whether specific apparatus identification information for identifying a specific external apparatus is stored in a memory in a case where the specific apparatus identification information is received via a second interface from the specific external apparatus, shift an operating state of the communication apparatus from a non-parent station state to a parent station state in a case where it is determined that the specific apparatus identification information is stored in the memory, receive a wireless connection request from the specific external apparatus via a first interface after the operating state has been shifted from the non-parent station state to the parent station state, and form the wireless network in which the communication apparatus operates as the parent station and the specific external apparatus operates as a child station, in a case where the wireless connection request is received from the specific external apparatus.
