  • Publication number: 20180210684
    Abstract: A mobile terminal device executes an OS including a printing system that supports a first search protocol and a printing function using a first printing method as a standard. If instructions for the use of the printing system included in the OS are provided by the user, the mobile terminal device receives a message conforming to the first search protocol from a printer that has been newly detected via the first search protocol. In a case where the detected printer has been selected, if the printer is determined not to conform to the first printing method based on the contents of the received message, the mobile terminal device activates a function for downloading a plug-in that supports the printer.

    Abstract: An electronic key registration system includes a controller of a communication subject, an initial electronic key that communicates with the communication subject and has an initial encryption key generation code, an additional electronic key that communicates with the communication subject, and an information center including an additional encryption key. The initial electronic key holds an initial encryption key generated from the initial encryption key generation code and a logic. The controller holds the logic and identification information of the communication subject. The controller acquires the initial encryption key generation code from the initial electronic key, generates an initial encryption key from the initial encryption key generation code and the logic held by the controller, and stores the initial encryption key. The information center sends the additional encryption key to the additional electronic key or the controller through a network.
