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 includes an acquiring unit that acquires first information satisfying a predetermined condition from first history information which is generated in an electronic device, a storage unit that stores the first information acquired by the acquiring unit in a storage device, and a control unit that performs a control of transmitting second information to an external apparatus, the second information being acquired by combining the first information stored in the storage device by the storage unit with second history information which is generated by execution of a function.

In a case where a user instructs an image forming apparatus to perform processing of sending scanned image data to the user from a mobile terminal, the user needs to input a user's e-mail address on the mobile terminal, which includes an inconvenient operation. From the mobile terminal, the user instructs the image forming apparatus to send the data to the user's e-mail address which is preliminarily registered in the image forming apparatus.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a communication apparatus capable of preventing a decrease in the speed of communication with an external device due to execution of a handover when the communication apparatus is connected to the external device, and also directed to a control method and a recording medium. A communication apparatus provides, by using a first communication portion that uses a first communication method, communication information for performing communication based on a second communication method to an external device, and causes a second communication portion that uses the second communication method to connect with the external device using the second communication method, and performs control in such a manner that, in a case where the second communication portion connects with the external device, the first communication portion is used to provide communication information to no other external devices.

In a case where a user instructs an image forming apparatus to perform processing of sending scanned image data to the user from a mobile terminal, the user needs to input a user's e-mail address on the mobile terminal, which includes an inconvenient operation. From the mobile terminal, the user instructs the image forming apparatus to send the data to the user's e-mail address which is preliminarily registered in the image forming apparatus.

A non-transitory storage medium stores a program set readable by a computer of a first information processing apparatus. The program set including a first program and a second program. The first program causes the first information processing apparatus to start the second program, and register the started second program, as a virtual scanner, in an operating system of the first information processing apparatus. The second program causes the first information processing apparatus to transmit a scan command of the first protocol to the external scanner, and receive a read result from the external scanner by the first protocol through the communication interface. The external scanner reads a document in response to receipt of the scan command transmitted from the information processing apparatus.

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.

An information processing apparatus capable of reliably switching a session. An IP fax as an information processing apparatus is connected to another IP fax. The IP fax establishes an audio session with the other IP fax. After establishing the audio session, the IP fax receives capability information indicating capabilities of the other IP fax therefrom. After receiving the capability information, the IP fax requests the other IP fax to switch the audio session to a T.38 session. Then, the IP fax switches the audio session to the T.38 session.

The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for transmitting an image, which improve display effect of the image. The method includes receiving an image with a first resolution from a source terminal; sending a request for obtaining the image to a server according to an identifier of the image; and receiving the image with a second resolution from the server, wherein the second resolution is higher than the first resolution.

An imaging device includes: an imaging unit configured to image a subject and generate image data; a display configured to display information including an image corresponding to the image data; a first recording slot mounting a first recording medium for recording the image data; a second recording slot mounting a second recording medium for recording the image data; a recording controller configured to set a recording mode between: an automatic switching mode in which recording of the image data is performed by repeatedly switching between the first and the second recording media in a predetermined order; and a simultaneous recording mode in which recording of the image data to the first and the second recording media is simultaneously performed; and a display controller configured to display setting mode information relating to the recording mode set by the recording controller in a different display mode for each recording mode.
