A server device that includes a receiving unit, a browse page creation unit, a mail creation unit, and a mail transmission unit. The receiving unit receives an image transmitted from an electronic camera via a wireless network. The browse page creation unit creates a browse page for browsing the transmitted image from the electronic camera, the image having been received by the receiving unit. The mail creation unit creates a notification mail for introducing the browse page that has been created by the browse page creation unit to a person other than a user of the electronic camera. Furthermore, the mail transmission unit transmits the notification mail that has been created by the mail creation unit to a specified mail address.

A communication apparatus is provided. The communication apparatus receives first information relating to IEEE 802.1X authentication from an information processing apparatus via a first wireless connection between the communication apparatus and another apparatus, terminates the first wireless connection, executes the IEEE 802.1X authentication based on the first information received in a state in which the first wireless connection is not established, and executes processing to re-establish the first wireless connection on the basis of the IEEE 802.1X authentication failing.

An information processing apparatus, including an interface and a controller configured to: receive, from an external device, first change acceptable or non-acceptable information indicating whether changing of an amount of electric power to be supplied to the external device is allowable; supply, after the receiving the first change acceptable or non-acceptable information, the electric power to the external device; receive, during executing the supplying the electric power, second change acceptable or non-acceptable information indicating whether the changing of the power amount is allowable; determine, during executing the supplying the electric power, whether limiting of the power amount is necessary; and limit, based on the second change acceptable or non-acceptable information, the power amount when the controller determines to limit the power amount in the determining whether limiting of the power amount is necessary and the receiving the second change acceptable or non-acceptable information is executed.

A control unit of an image reader executes OCR (optical character recognition processing) on image data as a result of scanning a setup guide, and upon acquiring an SSID and an encryption key, attempts to communicate with a corresponding wireless LAN master device using the SSID and the corresponding encryption key.

An information processing apparatus, including an interface and a controller configured to: receive, from an external device, first change acceptable or non-acceptable information indicating whether changing of an amount of electric power to be supplied to the external device is allowable; supply, after the receiving the first change acceptable or non-acceptable information, the electric power to the external device; receive, during executing the supplying the electric power, second change acceptable or non-acceptable information indicating whether the changing of the power amount is allowable; determine, during executing the supplying the electric power, whether limiting of the power amount is necessary; and limit, based on the second change acceptable or non-acceptable information, the power amount when the controller determines to limit the power amount in the determining whether limiting of the power amount is necessary and the receiving the second change acceptable or non-acceptable information is executed.

An image forming device is provided. The image forming device includes an image forming job performer, a wireless local area network (WLAN) module, a wireless personal area network (WPAN) module, and a controller. The WPAN module may determine a connection state of an external device using a WPAN, and the controller may receive a request from the external device through the WLAN module that is switched from a disabled state to an enabled state in accordance with the connection state of the external device using the WPAN, to control the image forming job performer.

An electronic device, including a power source, power-consuming devices, a USB interface, a command receiver, a memory, and a controller, is provided. The controller forecasts at least one of the power-consuming devices to be used in one of a plurality of time segments, calculates a level of total operation power being sum of power required by the forecasted at least one of the power-consuming devices for the time segment with reference to values of power stored in the memory, and determine a level of the power to be delivered to an external device connected to the USB interface in the time segment based on the level of the total operation power and the level of the power capacity in the power source. The controller controls the power source to deliver the determined level of the power to the external device through the USB interface during the time segment.

A control unit in an MFP determines whether a connection request from a communication device carried by a user has been received. If the control unit determines that the connection request has been received, then the control unit issues network identification information and transmits it to the communication device. When a connection is established, the control unit automatically alters the operation screen to an operation screen related to image processing based on the information transmitted/received to/from the communication device, and accepts an operation to execute image processing.

An information processing apparatus that performs a direct wireless communication with a communication terminal includes a wireless LAN interface, a memory device that stores set of instructions, and at least one processor that executes the instructions of controlling the wireless LAN interface to activate an access point to be used in the direct wireless communication, and controlling, upon condition that the information processing apparatus operates in a first mode where an instruction for a predetermined setting change of the information processing apparatus is waited for from the communication terminal by using the direct wireless communication, transmission and reception of data via the access point by using a first communication filter, and controlling, upon condition that the information processing apparatus operates in a second mode which is different from the first mode, the transmission and the reception of the data via the access point by using a second communication filter.
