  • Patent number: 11032863
    Abstract: A wireless communication device includes a wireless communication unit and a processor. The wireless communication circuit performs a plurality of wireless communications by switching the wireless communications by performing time division multiplexing of channels used for the wireless communications. The processor causes the wireless communication circuit to perform a first wireless communication for wirelessly communicating via a relay device which is different from the wireless communication device and a second wireless communication for wirelessly communicating with a wireless terminal through a Peer to Peer system. The wireless communication circuit performs the time division multiplexing of a first channel and a second channel, the first channel corresponds to the first wireless communication, and the second channel corresponds to the second wireless communication.

  • Patent number: 10554843
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a wireless communication unit, which performs a first wireless communication process and a second wireless communication process using an internal access point that operates in a first frequency band or a second frequency band, and a processing unit. The wireless communication unit transmits information of an operation frequency band of the internal access point on connection demand with respect to the internal access point through the second wireless communication process. In a case where a demand to change the operation frequency band is received from a terminal apparatus, the processing unit performs a process of changing the operation frequency band of the internal access point.

  • Patent number: 10349458
    Abstract: A wireless communication device includes a wireless communication unit that performs a plurality of wireless communications using different channels by switching the wireless communications by performing time division multiplexing, and a control unit that causes the wireless communication unit to perform a first wireless communication for wirelessly communicating via a relay device and a second wireless communication for wirelessly communicating with a wireless terminal through a Peer to Peer system. The control unit controls the wireless communication unit to use the same channel as a channel to be used in the first wireless communication and perform the second wireless communication.

  • Patent number: 10101953
    Abstract: A printing system includes an information processing terminal and a printing apparatus. The printing apparatus includes: a distance calculation section that calculates respective distances between the printing apparatus and other printing apparatuses and a distance information transmitting section that transmits distance information indicating the distances calculated by the distance calculation section to the information processing terminal. The information processing terminal includes: a distance information receiving section that receives the distance information; and an alternative printing apparatus determination section that determines which of the other printing apparatuses is to be used as an alternative printing apparatus determination section that performs a printing process instead of the printing apparatus on the basis of the distance information received by the distance information receiving section.
