Patent number: 9210732Abstract: A wireless communication device receives a first-type packet. If the first-type packet does not include first predetermined information, the device may store first specific information. In some examples, if the first-type packet includes the first predetermined information, the device does not store the first specific information. The device receives a second-type packet after receiving the first-type packet. If the first specific information is stored and the second-type packet is received, the device may send a third-type packet when the target-device identifying information is the same as the first-external-device identifying information. The third-type packet might not be sent where the target-device identifying information is different from the first-external-device identifying information. If the first specific information is not stored and the second-type packet is received, the device may send the third-type packet. When sending the third-type packet, the device may also send a wireless profile.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2012Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Takanobu Suzuki
