  • Publication number: 20240364831
    Abstract: A function executing device may be configured to receive a related instruction related to execution of a scan from an external device, and in a case where the related instruction is received from the external device via a first communication path for executing an encrypted communication, send an authentication information request to the external device. In a case where the related instruction is received from the external device via a second communication path for executing an unencrypted communication, the function executing device may be configured not to send the authentication information request to the external device.

  • Publication number: 20240361963
    Abstract: A reading system includes a terminal device including a first controller and a storage, and a reading device including a second controller, the reading device being connected to the terminal device and configured to read an object to be read. The storage is configured to store a first program, a second program, and a third program, the first program being an application program corresponding to the reading device, the second program being a general-purpose driver application called from the first program, the third program being a predetermined application program different from the first program and the second program. The second program includes a first mode in which a user interface of the second program is used, and a second mode in which an other user interface that is not the user interface of the second program is used.

  • Publication number: 20240364833
    Abstract: A reading apparatus includes a user interface, a scanner, and a controller configured to perform a push scan that causes the scanner to read a document according to an execution instruction corresponding to an operation on the user interface, and a pull scan that causes the scanner to read the document according to an execution instruction from an external device. The controller is configured to set a restriction setting value relating to a restriction on the push scan, and in a case where the controller receives an execution instruction of the push scan via the user interface, restrict the push scan according to the restriction setting value. In a case where the controller receives an execution instruction of the pull scan, the controller is configured to specify whether authentication is necessary with respect to the execution instruction of the push scan, based on the restriction setting value.

  • Publication number: 20240364835
    Abstract: There is provided a reading apparatus including: a user interface; a communication interface; a scanner; and a controller configured to execute a first scan in response to an instruction to execute the first scan based on an operation to the user interface, and a second scan based on an instruction to execute the second scan from an external apparatus connected to the reading apparatus via the communication interface. The controller is configured to: execute the first scan without requiring authentication in a case where the controller receives, via the user interface, the instruction to execute the first scan; and perform the authentication in a case where the controller receives, via the communication interface, the instruction to execute the second scan, and then execute the second scan in a case where the authentication succeeds and not execute the second scan in a case where the authentication fails.

  • Patent number: 9888500
    Abstract: A wireless communication device may form a wireless network in which the wireless communication device operates as a master station, terminate a wireless connection with a target apparatus in a case where a wireless connection request is received from a specific external apparatus under a state of a number of slave apparatuses being equal to an upper limit number K, establish a wireless connection with the specific external apparatus, and perform a wireless communication of first target data with the specific external apparatus by using the wireless network. The wireless communication device may terminate the wireless connection with the specific external apparatus, and establish a wireless connection with the target apparatus via the first wireless communication interface, so as to cause the target apparatus to participate as the slave station in the wireless network again.

  • Patent number: 9710662
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus may include a communication device, an image processing device, a reception device, at least one processor, and a memory. The communication device may be configured to communicate with a server. The reception device may be configured to receive first authentication data and a request for using the server. The memory may store computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the image processing apparatus to: allow a user to login when the first authentication data satisfies a prescribed authentication condition; automatically request, to the server, permission to use the server regardless of whether the reception device receives the request, once the user has logged in; and execute an image process using both the image processing device and the server.

  • Patent number: 9672455
    Abstract: When acquired information contains setting information indicating to output first format file, a first output process is executed, wherein a reading process is performed and an inquiry is executed as to whether to continue reading. Every time when receiving an instruction to continue reading, a reading process is performed and the inquiry is executed. A first format file, in which is stored image data that has been generated until when an instruction not to continue reading is received, is outputted. When the acquired information contains setting information to output second format file, a second output process is executed, wherein a reading process is performed, and one or more second format files, whose number is equal to a number of sets of image data generated through the reading process, is outputted such that each set of image data is stored in a corresponding second format file.
