An MFP as an information processing apparatus stores a setting data group as a combination of at least one setting item and a setting value corresponding to the at least one setting item for each of a plurality of division categories. The MFP acquires a plurality of network settings acquired from outside and/or set in the MFP. The MFP estimates the category corresponding to the use environment of the MFP from among the plurality of categories based on the plurality of obtained network settings. Lastly, the MFP changes operation settings of the MFP based on the setting data group stored in association with the estimated category.

A system for tracking the location of an electronic device includes an electronic device and a wireless location tag. The wireless location tag includes a microcontroller unit, and a modular connector interface configured to be communicatively coupled to a port of the electronic device. The wireless location tag is configured to establish an Internet connection to one or more backend electronic devices in response to detecting that the wireless location tag has been communicatively coupled to the port of the electronic device, obtain identifying information that is associated with the electronic device, and identify tag identifying information associated with the wireless location tag. The wireless location tag is also configured to send one or more instructions to the one or more backend electronic devices via the Internet connection, and send one or more ping messages to the one or more backend electronic devices.

In a mobile terminal, a plurality of operating buttons associated with functions performable by an electronic apparatus are provided on an operation screen. A storage section previously stores correspondence information related to the functions performable by the electronic apparatus and indicating correspondence between a relative location between the mobile terminal and the electronic apparatus and a set of functions available depending on the relative location. A first control section allows a display section to display a setting screen for accepting a change in the correspondence information. Based on an operation accepted by an acceptance section on the setting screen, a second control section changes the correspondence information and allows a storage section to store the changed correspondence information. The first control section changes contents of the plurality of operating buttons on the operation screen, using a location of the mobile terminal detected by a detecting section and the correspondence information.
