  • Patent number: 9015288
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8885234
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises: an image reading portion which has a box-shaped first housing with a reading surface, and a scanning device displaceable along the reading surface in the first housing, and reads a first image on a document by relatively displacing the document and scanning device; and an image recording portion which includes a recording medium supply device accommodating a recording medium, a feeding mechanism feeding the recording medium fed out of the supply device, a recording device recording a second image on the recording medium, and a second housing incorporating at least the feeding mechanism and recording device. The apparatus is placed on a rest surface in a substantially upright position, and the reading portion is changeable in position between an upright position in which the reading surface is opposed to the recording portion, and a horizontal position in which the reading surface faces upward.

  • Patent number: 8099486
    Abstract: 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.
