Abstract: A communication apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention determines, in a case where a communication request for communicating with an external apparatus has occurred, whether direct wireless communication between a communication terminal and the communication apparatus with one of the communication terminal and the communication apparatus functioning as an access point is being executed or not. In a case where it is determined that the direct wireless communication is being executed, controls the communication apparatus to not communicate with the external apparatus based on the communication request until a communication method switches from the direct wireless communication to a different communication method, and causes communication with the external apparatus based on the communication request to be executed using the different communication method in response to switching of the communication method.

Abstract: A communication apparatus (a printing apparatus 100) according to an aspect of the present invention controls communication with an external apparatus in one of a first wireless communication mode (or a wired communication mode) and a second wireless communication mode. In the case where the communication mode is set to the second wireless communication mode, the printing apparatus 100 switches the communication mode to the first wireless communication mode (or the wired communication mode) when an operation state of the printing apparatus 100 shifts to another state such as a power saving state.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus connected to a network via a network interface device and capable of performing encrypted communication with an external apparatus on the network. When the information processing apparatus is operating in a normal power mode, a sleep control module thereof detects whether a condition under which the apparatus shifts to an energy saving mode in which power consumption is smaller than in the normal power mode is satisfied. When the condition is detected to be satisfied, a proxy response registration module of the apparatus instructs an IPSec module of the same to request the external apparatus not to perform encrypted communication.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus which enables a user to, even in a case of transmitting image data to the party at the other end of the line who is making a phone call over IP telephony, transmit the image data to the party at the other end of the line by one key operation without inputting an address or searching an address book. When a phone call to an external apparatus to which the image forming apparatus is connected via a network is in progress, a communication with the external apparatus is established. When the communication is established, a response transmitted from the external apparatus is received, and destination information on the external apparatus is obtained from the received response. When the destination information on the external apparatus is obtained, an operation unit for transmitting data to the external apparatus is offered.

Abstract: Address information of an external device is registered as address information to refuse reception or to permit reception in a filtering address storage unit, and additional address information held by an external device having the registered address information is obtained. Then, the obtained additional address information is registered in association with the address information in the filtering address storage unit. In a case that information is received from an external device, it is determined whether or not the address information of the external device is stored in the storage unit so that information from the external device is refused.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus including a braking force applying device of a hydraulic type, capable of applying a braking force to each of a plurality of wheels. A hydraulic pressure controlling device controls a hydraulic pressure of the braking force applying device such that each of the wheels is not locked. A hydraulic pressure increasing or decreasing period changing device changes an increasing or decreasing period of the hydraulic pressure controlled by the hydraulic pressure controlling device. A controlling device controls the hydraulic pressure increasing or decreasing period changing device to change the increasing or decreasing period of the hydraulic pressure corresponding to each of the wheels in contact with a road surface having a high road surface friction coefficient, from that where a left-right braking force difference is not generated, to where the left-right braking force difference is generated by the hydraulic pressure controlling device.

Abstract: When an information processing apparatus is in the normal mode, the main controller determines whether or not the main controller is to perform a process on a received packet, on the basis of a filtering condition which is set in the information processing apparatus. When the information processing apparatus is in the sleep mode, a communication unit determines whether or not the communication unit, instead of the main controller, is to perform a process on a received packet, on the basis of the filtering condition.

Abstract: A second control unit in an image processing apparatus receives a packet transmitted from an external apparatus, copies and stores the received packet, analyzes the header of the received packet, deletes the analyzed header, and, when transitioning the image processing apparatus from a second power mode to a first power mode based on the result of analysis in the case where the image processing apparatus is in the second power mode, transitions the image processing apparatus from the second power mode to the first power mode, and transfers to the first control unit the received packet that was stored and does not transfer to the first control unit the received packet from which the header was deleted.

Abstract: An apparatus connected to a network via a network interface device and capable of executing encrypted communication with an external device on the network requests that a first algorithm to be used in the encrypted communication with the external device is changed to a second algorithm included in the network interface device when the apparatus detects that a condition for shifting to a power saving mode, in which power consumption is smaller than that in a normal power mode, is satisfied while the apparatus is operated in the normal power mode.

Abstract: In a communication apparatus for communicating with a network device and a method of controlling this apparatus, a filter condition that includes an address of the communication apparatus is enabled if a setting has been made so as to capture a packet addressed to the communication apparatus. On the other hand, if a setting has been made so as to capture a packet relating to the communication apparatus, then a filter condition that includes a broadcast address and/or a multicast address in addition to the address of the communication apparatus is enabled. If a received packet satisfies the filter condition, then this packet is captured.
