  • Publication number: 20200045058
    Abstract: A communication control system, method, and a machine-readable, non-transitory recording medium. The communication control system monitors communication of a plurality of communication devices, detects a first communication device that has made an unauthorized communication, searches for a second communication device having the same classification information as the first communication device, using classification information for classifying each communication device, issues an instruction to control communication of the first communication device and communication of the second communication device, and controls communication with the first communication device and communication with the second communication device in response to the instruction.

  • Patent number: 10244477
    Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a wireless module configured to execute communication with a communication terminal; a host system including a communication controller configured to control the communication with the communication terminal executed by the wireless module; an updater configured to update information used for the communication, at predetermined updating timings; and an operation status controller configured to control an operation state. The communication apparatus further includes a sub-system configured to send, to the operation status controller, a report indicating that an updating time period has elapsed from the updating timing of the information. The operation status controller causes the host system to return to a regular mode, upon receiving the report indicating that the updating time period has elapsed while the host system is in an energy saving mode.
