  • Patent number: 11706620
    Abstract: A communication device may accept an input of user authentication information, cause an output unit to output specific information obtained by using a public key in a case where authentication using the inputted user authentication information is successful. In a case where the authentication using the inputted user authentication information fails, the specific information is not outputted. The communication device may receive an authentication request in which the public key is used from a first external device, send an authentication response to the first external device, receive first connection information from the first external device, and establish a first wireless connection between the communication device and a second external device by using the first connection information.

  • Patent number: 11671813
    Abstract: A system and method for providing an authentication state of a function execution device to a communication terminal is described. In some examples, the authentication state indicates whether authentication information is needed from the communication terminal before the communication terminal can request performance of one or more functions performable by the function execution device. In other examples, the communication terminal may provide to the communication terminal the authentication information irrespective of whether the function execution terminal has previously provided its authentication state to the communication terminal.
