A terminal device includes a wireless communication unit that performs a wireless connection to an electronic device, and a processing unit that performs communication control of the wireless communication unit. The electronic device is capable of activating a first internal access point of a first connection method or a second internal access point of a second connection method different from the first connection method. The processing unit performs a communication connection to the first internal access point based on first connection information of the first internal access point when the first connection information is received from the electronic device. The processing unit performs notification processing when second connection information of the second internal access point is received from the electronic device.

Terminal device, program, and communication control method

An electronic apparatus includes: a wireless communication unit wirelessly communicating via an external access point; and a processing unit operating in one of a plurality of operation modes including a first operation mode and a second operation mode having lower power consumption than the first operation mode, the processing unit controlling the wireless communication unit. The processing unit executes first scan processing as scan processing for the access point when the operation mode is the first operation mode. The processing unit executes second scan processing in which a scanning target is limited compared with the first scan processing, when the operation mode is the second operation mode.

Electronic apparatus and communication control method

An electronic apparatus includes a wireless communication section configured to perform first wireless communication or second wireless communication that is short-range wireless communication having a slower communication speed than the first wireless communication and includes a processor configured to perform communication control on the wireless communication section and perform control on job processing. The processor connects to an information processing apparatus for communication by using the second wireless communication to receive initial setting information for setting a state for enabling the job processing and receive connection setting information for connecting to an external access point by using the first wireless communication.

Electronic apparatus and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An electronic apparatus includes: a wireless communication unit wirelessly communicating with an external access point; and a processing unit performing communication control for the wireless communication unit. The processing unit performs uninstallation of driver software causing the wireless communication unit to operate and installation of the driver software after the uninstallation, as a self-repair and reboot, when there is an error in wireless connection with the external access point.

When a terminal apparatus establishes second wireless communication with an access point in compliance with a second wireless communication scheme, a terminal control unit transmits a first network identifier of the access point, the second wireless communication with which is established by the terminal apparatus, to a device. When a first network identifier is included in a list of network identifiers that are acquired by the device by searching a wireless communication network in compliance with a second wireless communication scheme, the terminal control unit causes a first password input screen to be displayed.

Terminal apparatus, device, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium

A terminal apparatus includes a communication circuit, a display, and a processor. The processor acquires a first MAC address of an access point to which the communication circuit already made a connection, and a second MAC address that corresponds to an SSID that is obtained by electronic equipment by performing scanning processing. The processor makes a determination of whether or not vendors are identical with each other, based on the first MAC address and the second MAC address, and performs processing of displaying on the display, in a mode in accordance with the result of the determination.

Terminal apparatus, communication system, storage medium, and method of controlling terminal apparatus

A terminal apparatus includes a communication circuit, a display unit, and a processor. The processor acquires a first SSID of an access point to which the communication circuit already made a connection, and a second SSID that is obtained by electronic equipment by performing scanning processing. The processor obtains the degree of the sameness of the first SSID and the second SSID, and performs display processing on the display unit in a mode in which display is performed in a manner that is more emphasized for visibility or the display is performed in a manner that takes precedence.

A communication unit transmits an SSID of an access point which is a connection target in a first wireless communication scheme to electronic equipment in compliance with a second wireless communication scheme and receives an identifier of the electronic equipment in compliance with both the first wireless communication scheme and the second wireless communication scheme. When it is determined that both identifiers match, a processing unit notifies that a connection between the electronic equipment and the access point is successful.
