Abstract: A method of setting up wireless communication between a client device and a wireless connection device, the method including: establishing non-limited, temporary communication between devices; obtaining an identifier assigned to a client device or an identifier assigned to connection between the client device and a wireless connection device; limiting a device accessing the temporary communication by using the obtained identifier; causing the client device to receive a file for communication settings for the wireless connection device; establishing encrypted communication in conformity with a predetermined protocol; and causing information on communication settings to be exchanged via the encrypted communication.

Abstract: In a wireless LAN system, a terminal that includes a device for wireless LAN connection is capable of simple connection setting for wireless LAN. In said terminal, a simple connection setting recorder records each methods of simple connection setting that easily sets the simple connection setting for the wireless LAN, and an access point identifier identifies connected access point by detecting an information that is output by the access point. And a connection setting selector selects a simple connection setting corresponding to the access point, which the access point identifier identified from the simple connection settings recorded in the simple connection setting recorder. Finally, a connection setting processor processes connection setting, which corresponds to each method of the simple connection settings that the connection setting selector selected.

Abstract: An access point enables wireless communication in a restricted state where a connection object is limited to less than full functionality. The access point change, in response to the specific instruction being received, changes the restricted state to a non-restricted state where the connection object is not limited, when receiving a specific instruction from a user. The access point sends configuration information for specified security communication between a wireless terminal and the access point or a setup program executed to cause the wireless terminal to obtain the configuration information, to the wireless terminal, when receiving an access from the wireless terminal establishing connection with the access point, in the non-restricted state. The access point returns from the non-restricted state to the restricted state on the occurrence of a specified event.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer readable storage medium cooperate to manage a system that includes a gateway device, a first device connected with the gateway device and a second device that is connected with the first device and has a greater number of devices intervening before the gateway device than the first device. A configuration information acquirer acquires configuration information of the gateway device, configuration information of the first device and configuration information of the second device. The map display unit controller generates and displays a connection configuration map that includes a symbol of the gateway device, a symbol of the first device and a symbol of the second device on the display unit, along with acquired connections.

Abstract: A apparatus manages a system including a gateway device, a first device and a second device. The apparatus obtains configuration information and connected device identification information with respect to at least one device, obtains software from a server, and applies the software to the device.

Abstract: A method of managing a system, and associated computer program product, wherein the system includes a gateway device, a first device connected with the gateway device and a second device that is connected with the first device and has a greater number of devices intervening before the gateway device than the first device is provided.
