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.

Abstract: An MFP specifies an MFP application to be started in a portable terminal and another application to be started after start of the MFP application. An NFC tag records information that allows the specified MFP application and the specified another application to be identified in the portable terminal. The portable terminal acquires the application information recorded in the NFC tag by the proximity wireless communication. The portable terminal controls a communication-connection changeover according to an application to be started based on the acquired information. At this moment, if a type of communication to be used by the MFP application and a type of communication to be used by the another application are different, the portable terminal starts the another application after making a changeover to communication connection corresponding to this another application.

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.

Abstract: A mobile terminal capable of securely achieving log-in to a desired MFP. The mobile terminal detects at least one image processing apparatus which performs near field wireless communication. The mobile terminal transmits, to a detected image processing apparatus, user information used to log into the image processing apparatus. The mobile terminal displays, in a case where a plurality of image processing apparatus is detected, a selection screen through which a user selects an image processing apparatus to be logged in by using the user information.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus that is capable of executing near field wireless communication includes at least one memory storing instructions and at least one processor. The at least one processor executes instructions stored in the at least one memory to obtain identification information regarding a printing apparatus from a near field wireless communication tag using the near field wireless communication and to execute, in a case where the identification information has been obtained, specifying processing for specifying the printing apparatus indicated by the identification information as a communication target. In accordance with the identification information being obtained while search processing is being executed for searching for a printing apparatus, the at least one processor stops the search processing and starts the specifying processing.
