  • Patent number: 11561748
    Abstract: To search for a device from an information processing apparatus in Simple Network Management Protocol version 3 (SNMPv3), it is necessary to set information such as authentication information. However, there is such an issue that, in a case where settings of such information are inadequate, if a desired multi-function printer (MFP) is a device with settings for responding only to SNMPv3, the desired MFP cannot be found even if a search is performed. Therefore, a user is notified that SNMPv3 settings are necessary.

  • Publication number: 20220141205
    Abstract: There has been such an issue that, when an operation for stopping a Virtual Network Computing (VNC) connection is received from a user on a mobile terminal in a state where the VNC connection is established between the mobile terminal and a multifunction peripheral (MFP) and the user is logged in to the MFP, a screen in a state where the user is logged in is continued to be displayed on the MFP. One aspect of the present disclosure allows processing for logging the user out of the MFP to be automatically performed when processing for disconnecting the VNC connection is received.

  • Patent number: 11019477
    Abstract: A technique for a communication apparatus to automatically connect to a device that has a function for wireless communication by an infrastructure connection and by a direct connection, in conformity with a connection setting of the device is provided. A mobile terminal (communication apparatus) searches for surrounding MFPs (devices) and accepts a selection by a user of an MFP by displaying, on the operation panel, a screen of a list of MFPs discovered by the search. The mobile terminal first performs an infrastructure connection to an MFP selected by the user in the list screen displayed on the operation panel. When the infrastructure connection to the selected MFP fails, the mobile terminal performs a direct connection to that MFP.

  • Patent number: 10757275
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus determines whether information extracted from a read two-dimensional code is first connection information about an access point of a network or second connection information for connecting to a communication apparatus. If the information processing apparatus determines that the extracted information is the first connection information, the information processing apparatus connects to the network via the access point corresponding to the first connection information, automatically searches for a plurality of communication apparatuses connected to the network, displays a list of the plurality of detected communication apparatuses, and connects to a communication apparatus selected from the displayed list. If the information processing apparatus determines that the extracted information is the second connection information, the information processing apparatus connects to the communication apparatus using the second connection information.
