  • Patent number: 9961150
    Abstract: An information processing device may search for a communicable communication device which is a communication device capable of communication. The information processing device may display, in a case that a communicable communication device is detected, a device image and an interface image associated with each other on a display unit of the information processing device. The device image may indicate the detected communicable communication device. The interface image may indicate the communication interface corresponding to the detected communicable communication device. The information processing device may display, in a case that a plurality of communicable communication devices is detected, a plurality of device images corresponding to the plurality of detected communicable communication devices and a plurality of interface images corresponding to the plurality of detected communicable communication devices in one display screen on the display unit.

  • Patent number: 9706331
    Abstract: An information processing device may perform enabling a communication between a first network and the information processing device in a case that a setting to enable the communication between the first network and the information processing device is not being made. The information processing device may perform receiving, from the communication device, communication device information. The information processing device may perform receiving an acquisition order to acquire external device information stored in an external device. The information processing device may perform enabling a communication between a second network and the information processing device when the acquisition order is received. The information processing device may perform receiving, from the external device, external device information. The information processing device may perform acquiring usage data to be used in the communication device by using the communication device information and the external device information.
