In a system in which communication between an information processing apparatus and a printing apparatus is possible, the information processing apparatus detects that communication with the printing apparatus has become possible and, in response to detection that such communication has become possible, generates print data based upon data that the information processing apparatus is displaying on a display unit connected to or built in the information processing apparatus, and transfers the generated print data to the printing apparatus. The printing apparatus prints the data received from the information processing apparatus.

Printing system for determining whether another device is a specific printing apparatus based on information obtained by NFC, communication apparatus, method of controlling same and non-transitory computer readable storage medium

Wireless printing system, information processing apparatus, printing apparatus and method of controlling same

Wireless printing system, information processing apparatus, printing apparatus and methods of controlling same

A communication apparatus includes a first communication unit configured to communicate in a bidirectional communication mode for performing bidirectional message communication with an apparatus at the other side and in another mode for accepting an access to a predetermined storage area from the apparatus at the other side, a control unit that has an active mode having a first power consumption and an inactive mode having a lower power consumption than the first power consumption, and a detection unit configured to detect that the control unit is in the inactive mode, wherein when the control unit is in the inactive mode, and the first communication unit performs the bidirectional communication mode with a communication partner, and a predetermined service is designated by the communication partner, the first communication unit communicates information according to the predetermined service designated by the communication partner while the control unit is in the inactive mode.

Communication apparatus, control method, and program

Position information indicating the position of a communication apparatus or another communication apparatus when a predetermined message is received from the other communication apparatus, and battery information about the battery of the other communication apparatus are stored. The user is notified of the stored position information and battery information according to a user operation for the communication apparatus.

Communication apparatus and control method therefor

Upon bringing a digital camera having a near field wireless communication function close to a projector while a display apparatus displays a screen of a PC using the projector, the display apparatus decodes and displays an image from the digital camera in place of the screen of the PC.

Display apparatus, control method for display apparatus, and computer program

A data communication control is realized in a system in which a priority terminal is shorter than a non-priority terminal in a standby time required until the terminal starts data communication after detecting that a communication medium is idle. An apparatus operating as the priority terminal determines an amount of data to be transmitted from the apparatus, and performs control for causing another apparatus operating as the non-priority terminal according to the determined amount of data.

Apparatus and method of controlling the same in a system for communications between a priority terminal and a non-priority terminal

An apparatus includes a discrimination unit configured to discriminate transmission and reception switching timing based on a data amount of data transmitted from the apparatus and a data amount of data transmitted from a remote apparatus, and a control unit configured to perform switching between transmission and reception according to the discriminated switching timing discriminated, so that data can be transmitted in a plurality of divided times to the communication remote apparatus or data can be received in a plurality of divided times from the remote apparatus.

Communication apparatus and method for controlling the same

A method and system for establishing communication between communication apparatuses, including a first communication apparatus receiving, from another communication apparatus, first information used for communication by a first communication unit via a second communication unit, detecting a transfer of second information, and depending on the detection result, determining whether to use the first information for the communication by the first communication unit.

Communication apparatus, method of controlling the communication apparatus, and communication system

A method for setting communication parameters in a plurality of communication devices includes setting communication parameters without an authentication process being performed for a second communication device in a case where a first communication device has received a request for setting communication parameters from the second communication device within a predetermined period of time from the start of setting communication parameters. The method further includes setting communication parameters after the authentication process has been performed for the second communication device in a case where the first communication device has received a request for setting communication parameters from the second communication device after the expiration of the predetermined period of time from the start of setting communication parameters.

Method for setting communication parameters and communication device

A portable terminal device aborts a screen display process of the current application on a display in accordance with a switch of a communication partner during communication with a speaker A and executes a screen display process of an application corresponding to a speaker B after the switch operation. The application corresponding to the speaker B is the application executed during communication with the speaker B previously. The application is an E-mail or browser application.

Communication apparatus

A call in request is transmitted from a wireless base station to a wireless communication terminal apparatus when there is a call in from a service center. If the wireless communication terminal apparatus does not respond, the wireless base station is reset and, after the reset is completed, a call in request is transmitted to the wireless communication terminal apparatus again. In addition, if out of standby occurs, the wireless communication terminal apparatus notifies the wireless base station to that effect and the wireless base station changes a forward pattern of a notification signal.
