  • Terminal apparatus, wireless connection control method, and storage medium storing wireless connection control program
    Patent number: 11178532
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus includes a first wireless communication unit and a controller. The first wireless communication unit conducts first wireless communication with a device under a first wireless communication scheme. The controller causes the first wireless communication unit to transmit setting information to the device; the setting information is required for the device to conduct second wireless communication under a second wireless communication scheme. When a predetermined display unit displays an entry screen through which the setting information is to be input, the controller breaks a connection of the first wireless communication between the first wireless communication unit and the device. When receiving the setting information through the entry screen, the controller establishes the connection of the first wireless communication between the first wireless communication unit and the device.
