An information processing apparatus comprises a first interface that performs wireless communication relayed through a base station and a second interface that performs wireless communication not relayed through a base station, and the information processing apparatus allows the wireless communication by the second interface to start under a condition that the wireless communication by the first interface has been started so that it is possible to set the same frequency channel used in the two types of wireless communication.

A management device for an image processing apparatus includes a communication interface and a hardware processor. The communication interface transmits and receives a job to be executed in the image processing apparatus. Before transmission and reception of a job, the hardware processor transmits data on a communication path of the job for measuring a communication speed to obtain information representing a communication speed of a communication path for the job transmitted and received by the communication interface, and sets a timeout time of an image processing apparatus that executes the job, based on the obtained information representing a communication speed.

This invention provides, for each apparatus, one communication control unit that generically controls communication between a relay server and a communication client or a communication server in each apparatus. More specifically, each communication control unit creates a communication socket that designates a predetermined port and an IP address indicating a local apparatus, and exchanges data between the communication server and the communication client via the communication socket, adjusting and relaying communication data between HTTP and the communication protocol of each of the communication server and the communication client.
