  • Patent number: 9331849
    Abstract: An information setting method for a setting device includes the following processes. A first certificate and identification information are obtained from a wireless device to be caused to join a wireless network managed by a management device. The first certificate certifies that the wireless device is a formal wireless device and includes a first public key. The identification information is information that identifies the wireless device. A second certificate is obtained from the management device. The second certificate certifies that the management device is a formal management device and includes a second public key. Apparatus information required for the wireless device to join the wireless network is encoded using the first public key and is output to the wireless device. Management information including the apparatus information and the identification information associated with the apparatus information is encoded using the second public key and is output to the management device.

  • Patent number: 8776046
    Abstract: n (where n is a natural number) divided software components divided from software to be installed are individually recorded in n recording mediums. Each of the second to n-th recording mediums from among the n recording mediums includes an install execution file that executes an install processing of a corresponding divided software component, an install assistant file that executes a run determination processing for determining whether or not the install of the divided software component recorded in the first recording medium is executed and when the install is not executed, runs the install execution file, and an autorun setup file that enables the install assistant file to be automatically run on an operating system.
