A function executing device may comprise a first wireless interface according to a Bluetooth Low Energy scheme being capable of repeatedly sending an advertising signal. The function executing device may after a first advertising signal in which a first radio field intensity is used has been sent from the first wireless interface, receive a specific signal via the first wireless interface from a terminal device, change a radio field intensity used for sending the advertising signal from the first radio field intensity to a second radio field intensity lower than the first radio field intensity, and after a second advertising signal in which the second radio field intensity is used has been sent from the first wireless interface, establish a first wireless connection with the terminal device via the first wireless interface.

Function executing device and terminal device for executing wireless communication according to Bluetooth low energy

A communication device may cause a first wireless interface of the communication device to send a first signal in a case where a state of the communication device is a respondent state. The respondent state may be a state in which a Wi-Fi connection is able to be established between the communication device and a terminal device. The first signal may be sent from the first wireless interface before a Bluetooth connection is established between the communication device and a terminal device. The communication device may cause the first wireless interface to send a second signal in a case where a state of the communication device is a non-respondent state. The non-respondent state may be a state in which the Wi-Fi connection is not able to be established. The second signal may be sent from the first wireless interface before the Bluetooth connection is established.

A function executing device may send screen display information to a terminal device via a first wireless interface without executing, via the first wireless interface, communication using specific authentication information, wherein the screen display information is for causing the terminal device to display a function screen. In a case where a first execution instruction for causing the function executing device to execute a first function is inputted to the terminal device after a function screen has been displayed in the terminal device, the function executing device may execute the communication using the specific authentication information with the terminal device via the first wireless interface and execute communication of first function execution information for executing the first function via the first wireless interface with the terminal device.

A printer may include a memory configured to store print setting information. The print setting information indicates M setting values corresponding to M setting items. Each time a print request including a plurality of setting values corresponding to a plurality of setting items including the M setting items is received, a controller of the printer may be configured to store number of times information in association with received information. In a case where first number of times information is stored in association with first received information and the first number of times information indicates that the number of times the print request was received is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the controller may be configured to store first print setting information as new print setting information. The first print setting information may indicate M setting values indicated by the first received information.

A communication device may establish a session with a target server, execute a communication confirmation repeatedly, the communication confirmation including that the communication device sends a confirmation signal to the target server and receives a response signal from the target server, and adjust a waiting time. In a case where a proxy server is used in communication between the communication device and the target server, the communication device adjusts the waiting time by instructing the target server to use a first time as the waiting time. In a case where the proxy server is not used in communication between the communication device and the target server, the communication device adjusts the waiting time by instructing the target server to use a second time as the waiting time, the second time being longer than the first time.

A communication device may receive first authentication information from a specific server, store the first authentication information in a memory, store selection information in the memory in a case where one or more service providing servers are selected by a user, send the first authentication information in the memory and first related information to the specific server in a case where the selection information is stored in the memory, determine whether the selection information is stored in the memory in a case where a deletion instruction for instructing deletion of information in the memory is acquired; and delete the first authentication information in the memory in a case where it is determined that the selection information is not stored in the memory. The first authentication information may be not deleted in a case where it is determined that the selection information is stored in the memory.

A communication device may set a second value instead of a first value as an upper limit child station number in a case where a first signal including a predetermined character string is received from a first external device under a situation where the first value is set as the upper limit child station number in the communication device and a participating child station number is equal to the first value. In a case where the second value is set instead of the first value as the upper limit child station number, the communication device may establish a wireless connection with the first external device via the first wireless interface so as to cause the first external device to participate as a child station in the wireless network.

An information communication system of an overlay network includes: a first apparatus requesting the content; a second apparatus storing the content; and a third apparatus including: a first reception unit receiving a retrieval message transmitted from the first apparatus, the retrieval message including content identification information and location information; a storage unit storing the apparatus identification information of the second apparatus and the content identification information of the content stored in the second apparatus; and a transmission unit transmitting the apparatus identification information. The second apparatus includes: a second reception unit receiving the apparatus identification information from the third apparatus; and a control unit allowing the first apparatus to acquire the content stored in the second apparatus if the apparatus identification information received by the second reception unit matches the apparatus identification information of the second apparatus.

Communication across an overlay network

An information communications system for an overlay network includes: a plurality of node devices which are connected to each other through a network and constitute the overlay network, contents being distributed and stored in the plurality of node devices, the plurality of node devices including a contents source transmitting contents to other node devices. The plurality of node devices includes a first node device including: a contents storage unit configured to store the contents; and a limiting unit configured to limit uploading of the contents stored in the contents storage unit,
