  • Patent number: 11418954
    Abstract: Key information to be used for generating a decryption key is written into a storage area that can be referred to by an information processing apparatus via a predetermined wireless communication. If the elapsed time from when the key information is written into the storage area exceeds a predetermined time, control regarding the key information stored in the storage area is performed so as not to perform a registration process. In this case, the predetermined time differs according to an event when the key information is written.

  • Patent number: 10672105
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory, a processor, a control unit and an instruction unit. The control unit controls display on a display unit on which an image based on received image data is displayed. The instruction unit provides an instruction to switch a display size of the image on the display unit. When the instruction unit provides the instruction, in a state in which the image before the switching is performed is displayed on the display unit, the control unit causes display of a first object visually indicating a second display size of the image that is to be displayed on the display unit, the second display size being a size after the switching is performed, and, when the second display size is determined on the basis of the instruction from the instruction unit, the control unit causes display of the image based on the second display size.

  • Patent number: 10142510
    Abstract: This invention provides a technique which allows the user to select whether or not to make print settings without any special operation such as key operations or button operations upon printing information held by a mobile terminal using a printer. To this end, in a case where it is detected that a mobile terminal is located with an NFC communication range, an NFC communication is established to exchange information so as to prepare for transition to a BT communication, information to be printed is received via the BT communication, thus printing the information. At this time, only in a case where an established state of the NFC communication is continued for a predetermined period of time since the NFC communication is established, a detailed print setting menu is displayed.

  • Patent number: 7515534
    Abstract: There are provided a printing apparatus which can maintain an optimal transfer rate with an external device by an optimal buffer management, and a reception buffer management method thereof. In the printing apparatus according to this invention, assume that data received in unit of packet using a wireless interface from the external device is stored in a plurality of reception buffers. A maximum receivable data amount which can be used for receiving the data from the external device is determined on the basis of the number of the confirmed empty reception buffer(s). The data transmittable amount notified of the external device is then compared with the maximum receivable data amount. When receiving a request from the external device, the printing apparatus replies to the external device to change the notified data transmittable amount, in accordance with the comparison result.
