  • Patent number: 9542134
    Abstract: A terminal device may send a registration request to a print intermediation server. The registration request may cause the print intermediation server to register virtual printer related information. The terminal device may receive authentication information from the print intermediation server. The terminal device may send image data related information to the print intermediation server. The image data related information may be related to target image data representing a target image of a print target. The image data related information may be associated with the virtual printer related information and the authentication information in the print intermediation server. The terminal device may send the authentication information to an actual printer. The authentication information may be used by the actual printer to obtain target print data.

  • Patent number: 9210732
    Abstract: 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.
