  • 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. The target print data may be data which is created from the target image data by the print intermediation server.

  • Patent number: 9103945
    Abstract: An atmospheric pressure tendency informing apparatus and atmospheric pressure tendency informing method inform atmospheric pressure tendency. In one implementation, the atmospheric pressure tendency informing apparatus includes: an informing section, an atmospheric pressure measuring section, an atmospheric pressure inflection point judging section and an informing control section. The atmospheric pressure inflection point judging section judges whether there is an inflection point of atmospheric pressure, based on atmospheric pressure values of at least three points of time including an atmospheric pressure value measured at present. The informing control section controls the informing section to inform the inflection point of atmospheric pressure as the atmospheric pressure tendency based on a judgment result when the atmospheric pressure inflection point judging section judges there is an inflection point of atmospheric pressure.

  • Patent number: 9086832
    Abstract: A printer may receive a predetermined notification from a print mediation server. The predetermined notification may be a notification to be sent to the printer by the print mediation server when the print mediation server has stored specific print data and specific condition data indicating a specific print condition to a storage unit according to an instruction from a terminal device. The printer may acquire the specific print data and the specific condition data from the storage unit in a case where the predetermined notification is received. The printer may cause a print executing unit to execute printing of an image represented by the specific data according to the specific print condition indicated by the specific condition data.

  • Patent number: 9038190
    Abstract: A communication apparatus may include a reception portion, a decision portion, and a transmission portion. The reception portion may receive a first data request transmitted through a first security level communication, and a second data request transmitted through a second security level communication, the second security level being more secure than the first security level. The decision portion may decide whether a specific data request is the first data request or the second data request. The transmission portion may transmit a specific data to an apparatus that is a transmission source of the specific data request if the specific data request is the second data request, and may transmit different data to the apparatus if the specific data request is the first data request. The different data contains display information for causing the apparatus to retransmit the specific data request through the second security level communication.
