Patent number: 9015288Abstract: A computer program product includes computer readable instructions that cause a computer to execute a wireless connection setting process. The computer includes a communication interface configured to communicate with at least one device. The wireless connection setting process includes recognizing a state of the at least one device through the communication interface, displaying an input screen image sequentially for each of at least one setting item of wireless connection settings, configuring the wireless connection settings for the at least one device based upon the input, and controlling whether to display the input screen image by judging whether the input is required to be received for each of the at least one setting item based upon the state of the recognized at least one device. Configuring the wireless connection settings includes determining the setting item for which the input is not judged required to be received.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2009Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Sunao Kawai, Manabu Isshiki

Patent number: 8099486Abstract: A client terminal is capable of communicating with an address server. The client terminal includes a displaying unit, a language determining unit, a language information transmitting unit, a service information acquiring unit, and a display controlling unit. The displaying unit displays a page. The language determining unit determines a language to be used for displaying the page on the displaying unit. The language information transmitting unit transmits language information to the address server. The language information indicates the language determined by the language determining unit. The service information acquiring unit acquires service information from a data server based on address information transmitted from the address server. The display controlling unit controls the displaying unit to display, by using the language determined by the language determining unit, the page including the service information acquired by the service information acquiring unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2008Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tomoki Nakamura, Manabu Isshiki
