Abstract: A wireless communication section wirelessly communicates with a communication terminal present in a target space. An information acquiring section acquires a value representing congestion of a target space. A learned model is a model that has been trained using training data including a value representing the congestion of a target space used for learning, a bandwidth, a channel, and throughput. An AI processing section inputs the value representing the congestion of the target space acquired by the information acquiring section to the learned model and acquires a bandwidth and a channel output by the learned model. A bandwidth controller causes the wireless communication section to perform wireless communication using the bandwidth acquired by the AI processing section. The channel controller causes the wireless communication section to perform wireless communication using the channel acquired by the AI processing section.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a wireless-connection-establishment unit and a function execution unit. The wireless-connection-establishment unit establishes a directly communicable wireless connection with another device. The function execution unit executes a function. The function execution unit executes the function requested from the other device via the wireless connection when a radio field intensity of the wireless connection established with the other device by the wireless-connection-establishment unit is equal to or more than a specified radio field intensity, and rejects execution of the function requested from the other device via the wireless connection when the radio field intensity of the wireless connection established with the other device by the wireless-connection-establishment unit is less than the specified radio field intensity.

When the processor executes the information processing program, the processor operates to: detect an operation performed by a user; determine the posture of the information processing apparatus observed when the operation is performed; and determine one of a plurality of image forming apparatuses to be selected as a destination to which an image forming instruction is transmitted, the image forming apparatus to be selected varying depending on the posture of the information processing apparatus observed when the operation is performed.

Abstract: A responding device has operating modes including a first mode and a second mode. The responding device includes a first responding unit and a second responding unit. The first responding unit operates during the first mode and outputs, when receiving a request, a response including information in accordance with the type of the request. The second responding unit outputs the response in place of the first responding unit during the second mode. The second responding unit includes a storage section, an information accumulation section, and a mode transition control section. The information accumulation section stores in the storage section the information included in the response output from the first responding unit during the first mode. The mode transition control section causes the responding device to transition to the second mode when a first condition and a second condition in terms of the information stored in the storage section are satisfied.
