  • Patent number: 10659282
    Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a processor and a memory. The processor executes computer-readable instructions stored in the memory. The instructions instruct the communication apparatus to establish a first network including the communication apparatus and a first device. The instructions instruct the communication apparatus to establish a second network including the communication apparatus and a second device. The instructions instruct the communication apparatus to determine a target IP address. Determining the target IP address includes identifying a particular IP address, which is an IP address of the communication apparatus used in the second type network. Determining the target IP address includes generating the target IP address to be within a particular range using the particular IP address. The particular range is a range of IP addresses that are not available in the second type network.

  • Patent number: 10291821
    Abstract: In a server, a processor receives, in a case where the memory does not store image data in association with a first identifier identifying a user, from a printer the first identifier inputted to the printer through a user's operation and transmits first location information to the printer for prompting that the first location information is inputted to a terminal device. The first location information includes related information related thereto. The processor receives target image data and second location information from the terminal device, and stores related image data in association with the first identifier. The processor receives a second identifier from the printer and transmits a print instruction to the printer in a case where the received second identifier matches the stored first identifier. The processor prohibits transmission of the print instruction to the printer in a case where the received second identifier does not match the first identifier.
