  • Patent number: 10425889
    Abstract: A communication device may search via a first wireless interface so as to specify one or more candidate access points and send, to a terminal device, an information request for requesting the terminal device to send information for establishing a wireless connection with an experienced access point. The experienced access point is an access point having an experience of establishing a wireless connection with the terminal device. The terminal device stores use information which has been used by the terminal device for establishing the wireless connection with the experienced access point. The communication device may receive a response including a target password included in the use information from the terminal device in response to sending the information request and establish a wireless connection with a target access point among the one or more candidate access points via the first wireless interface by using the target password included in the response.

  • Publication number: 20190223238
    Abstract: A communication device may include a wireless interface configured to repeat operating sequentially in a plurality of states including a first state and a second state. The communication device may acquire first information from the wireless interface in a case where the wireless interface operating in the first state sends the first polling signal to a first external device and receives a response signal to the first polling signal from the first external device, and supply a specific signal to the wireless interface in a case where the first information is acquired from the wireless interface, the specific signal being for causing the wireless interface to use, as a duration time period of the second state, a specific time period instead of the second predetermined time period, the specific time period being longer than the second predetermined time period.

  • Patent number: 10342071
    Abstract: A communication device may shift an operation state of the communication device from a child station state to a specific state, in a case where a first wireless connection with a second external device is established via a second wireless interface under a predetermined state where the communication device is participating, as a child station, in a first wireless network in which a first external device is a parent station. The communication device may receive a request signal from the second external device via a first wireless interface after the operation state has been shifted to the specific state, and in a case where the request signal is received from the second external device, establish a second wireless connection with the second external device via the first wireless interface so as to belong to a second wireless network for executing a wireless communication via the first wireless interface.
