Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first communication unit, a request accepting unit, a second communication unit, and a process performing unit. The first communication unit performs first communication to communicate with a terminal apparatus. The request accepting unit accepts a request for a data processing process from the terminal apparatus via the first communication. The second communication unit stores information concerning the requested data processing process in a memory upon the request accepting unit accepting the request, temporarily disconnects a connection between the information processing apparatus and the terminal apparatus, and performs second communication to communicate with the terminal apparatus in a case where a condition under which the requested data processing process is performed is satisfied. The process performing unit performs the requested data processing process via the second communication by using the information stored in the memory.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes plural network interfaces, a specifying unit, a setting unit, and an assigning unit. The plural network interfaces include a first network interface for connection of the apparatus to a network, and a second network interface for direct wireless connection of another device to the apparatus. The specifying unit specifies a subnet by way of which data transmitted from the first network interface pass. The setting unit sets a network address that belongs to a subnet that is different from the specified subnet to the second network interface. The assigning unit assigns a network address that belongs to a subnet that is the same as the network address set to the second network interface to the other device.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a first wireless communication apparatus, a second wireless communication apparatus, and an information processing apparatus. The first wireless communication apparatus receives data from a mobile communication terminal, and is capable of switching between an active state and a non-active state. The second wireless communication apparatus receives first identification information from the mobile communication terminal. In the second wireless communication apparatus, a first communication-capable range produced when the first wireless communication apparatus is in the active state overlaps or matches a second communication-capable range of the second wireless communication apparatus. The information processing apparatus generates a switching instruction to switch the first wireless communication apparatus from the non-active state to the active state when the second wireless communication apparatus receives the first identification information.
