There is provided a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium in which a program is recorded, the program causing a computer to function as: a communication unit that receives a beacon signal from an electronic apparatus; and a processing unit that controls communication of the communication unit, in which the processing unit performs notification processing of a backup function of backup data into the electronic apparatus in a case where it is determined that the electronic apparatus from which the beacon signal is transmitted is an apparatus having a backup function and that a distance from the electronic apparatus is equal to or smaller than a predetermined threshold value based on a reception radio wave intensity of the beacon signal.

Computer-readable recording medium in which program is recorded, terminal apparatus, and communication system

An information processing apparatus includes: an apparatus body including a body having a keyboard and a display unit attached to the body so as to be opened and closed; an acceleration sensor mounted on the apparatus body; a gesture motion determination unit mounted on the apparatus body and determining a reference posture of a holding state of the apparatus body taken when a user executes a given gesture function while holding the apparatus body based on acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor as well as determining a gesture motion executed by the user by detecting posture change of the apparatus body from the reference posture based on acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor; and an operation execution unit mounted on the apparatus body and executing a given operation corresponding to the gesture motion executed by the user based on the determination result in the gesture motion determination unit.

Information processing apparatus and associated methodology for performing functions based on gestures

An electronic apparatus includes: a communication unit that receives a beacon signal from a terminal apparatus; a display unit; and a processing unit that performs display processing of the display unit. The processing unit performs processing of displaying a screen to be displayed to a user of the terminal apparatus from which the beacon signal is transmitted, on the display unit, in a first display mode, in a case where it is determined that a distance between the terminal apparatus and the electronic apparatus is equal to or shorter than a first reference distance based on a reception radio wave intensity of the beacon signal.

Electronic apparatus, printing apparatus, and communication system

A wireless communication apparatus includes a first connection processing unit that performs a wireless connection process for performing a wireless connection to an access point (an example of a relay apparatus), and a temporary connection processing unit that in a case where the first connection processing unit fails in the wireless connection process, searches for (for example, SSID scan) a wireless setting-completed apparatus in which connection setting information for a connection to the relay apparatus is already set, and performs a temporary connection to the wireless setting-completed apparatus which is found from the searching. Further, the wireless communication apparatus includes a second connection processing unit that acquires connection setting information from the wireless setting-completed apparatus through the temporary connection, and performs a wireless connection to the access point based on the connection setting information.

Wireless communication apparatus, wireless communication system, wireless communication method, and computer-readable recording medium

A wireless communication apparatus includes a first wireless communication unit that performs a first wireless communication, a second wireless communication unit that performs a second wireless communication that consumes less electric power than the first wireless communication, a power supply circuit that supplies electric power to the first and second wireless communication unit by receiving electric power supply from a battery or an external power supply, a state detection unit that detects whether the power supply circuit is in a first state for receiving the electric power supply from the external power supply or in a second state for receiving the electric power supply from the battery, and a first control unit. The first control unit determines which one of the first and second wireless communications to adopt as a wireless communication that is to be used for communication, based on detection result by the state detection unit.

Wireless communication apparatus for determining wireless communication to be used, wireless communication terminal for determining wireless communication to be used, and computer-readable and non-transitory recording medium storing program for selecting wireless communication to be used

An electronic apparatus includes: a short-distance wireless communication unit; a wireless communication unit that provides wireless communication for multiple different connection types; an acquisition unit that acquires connection type information relating to a connection type that is provided by an external apparatus, from the external apparatus through the short-distance wireless communication unit; a determination unit that determines a recommendation connection type that is used for the communication between the external apparatus and the wireless communication unit, based on connection type information on the external apparatus, and connection type information relating to a connection type that is provided by the wireless communication unit; and a notification unit that notifies a user of the recommendation connection type.

Electronic apparatus, wireless communication method, and computer-readable recording medium

A wireless communication apparatus that operates on electric power supplied from a battery includes a first wireless communication unit that performs a first wireless communication, a second wireless communication unit that performs a second wireless communication that consumes less electric power than the first wireless communication, a battery's state detection unit that detects a state of the battery, and a first control unit that controls the first wireless communication unit and the second wireless communication unit. The first control unit determines which one of the first wireless communication and the second wireless communication to adopt as a wireless communication that is to be used for communication, on the basis of the state of the battery detected by the battery's state detection unit.

A wireless communication terminal includes an identification information obtainment unit that obtains identification information using, for example, a short-range wireless communication with the wireless communication device, a connection determination unit that, when the identification information in the network is wirelessly transmitted to an external access point connected in advance and a response for the transmission of the identification information in the network is received, determines whether or not a wireless communication device corresponding to the identification information in the network is on the network through the external access point based on the received response, a connection selection unit that selects whether to wirelessly connect to the wireless communication device without going through the external access point or wirelessly connect to the wireless communication device through the external access point, in accordance with the determined result, and a communication control unit that performs wireless communication with the wireless communication device.
