An information processing apparatus includes a communication unit and a switching unit. The communication unit is configured to conduct a wireless communication using plural transmission methods, one of which has plural channels. When a channel or transmission method having a higher communication quality than that of a communication that is being conducted has become able to communicate, the switching unit switches to the channel or the transmission method having the higher communication quality.

Information processing apparatus and non-transitory computer readable storage medium

An information processing apparatus includes a communication unit and a selection unit. The communication unit is configured to conduct a wireless communication using plural transmission methods, one of which has plural channels. The selection unit is configured to select a channel and a transmission method in a communication with a communication counterpart device, according to (i) a predetermined selection order of the transmission methods and the channels and (ii) a transmission method or a channel using which the communication counterpart device is configured to conduct a communication.

Information processing apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium

An information processing apparatus includes a selection unit and a communication unit. If there exist plural access points capable of conducting a communication using a predetermined transmission method among transmission methods by which the information processing apparatus is capable of conducting a wireless communication, the selection unit selects an access point having a high communication quality. The communication unit is configured to conduct a communication with the access point selected by the selection unit.

An information processing apparatus includes a communication unit, a first switching unit, and a second switching unit. The communication unit is configured to conduct a wireless communication using plural transmission methods, one of which has plural channels. The first switching unit switches between the channels according to quality of a communication that is being conducted. The second switching unit switches between the transmission methods when the first switching unit could not switch between the channels.

Information processing apparatus and method for conducting wireless communication using a plurality of transmission methods and channels

An information processing apparatus includes a communication unit, a first switching unit, and a second switching unit. The communication unit is configured to conduct a wireless communication using a plurality of transmission methods, one of which has plural channels. The first switching unit switches between the transmission methods according to quality of a communication that is being conducted. The second switching unit switches between the channels when the first switching unit could not switch between the transmission methods.

Wireless communication

An information processing apparatus includes a memory, an electronic file obtaining unit, an attribute information obtaining unit, and a display. The memory stores server information in which servers are associated with confidentiality information and charge information. The electronic file obtaining unit obtains an electronic file. The attribute information obtaining unit obtains attribute information including confidentiality information about the electronic file. The display displays, in accordance with the server information and the attribute information, a server satisfying a confidentiality level that is adequate to save the electronic file and the charge information about the server.

Information processing apparatus, image forming apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium for file distribution to servers

A non-transitory computer readable medium stores a program causing a computer to execute a process for image processing. The process includes performing preview display processing on a piece of content of document-image information generated by optically scanning a document by using one reading setting, the preview display processing being performed by using multiple transmission settings that are different from the one reading setting; and generating new image information in a case where one of pieces of content of the document-image information each of which results from the preview display processing performed by using a corresponding one of the multiple transmission settings is selected, the new image information being generated from the document-image information by using one of the transmission settings that corresponds to the selected piece of content.

Non-transitory computer readable medium, image processing apparatus, and image processing method

A relay device includes a receiver that receives multiple facsimile transmission instructions via a private network from a client device that does not include facsimile transmitting functions, a facsimile communication unit that sequentially transmits facsimiles externally via a public network, on the basis of the multiple facsimile transmission instructions received by the receiver, a creator that creates communication result information regarding communication when the facsimile communication unit transmitted facsimiles, before the facsimile communication unit completes facsimile transmission for all of the multiple facsimile transmission instructions, and a transmitter that transmits the communication result information created by the creator to the client device from which the receiver received facsimile transmission instructions.

Relay device, facsimile communication method, and recording medium

A relay device includes a receiver that receives facsimile transmission instructions via a private network from a client device that does not include facsimile transmitting functions, a facsimile communication unit that transmits a facsimile externally via a public network, on the basis of the facsimile transmission instructions received by the receiver, a determiner that, on the basis of the content of the facsimile transmission instructions received by the receiver, determines whether or not to request another device connected via the private network to execute facsimile transmission, and a requester that, in the case where the determiner determines to request another device to execute facsimile transmission, sends a transmission request regarding some or all of the facsimile transmission instructions received by the receiver to another device.

In an Internet fax, to receive an electronic mail document for fax transfer, if a password related to a control command for indicating a facsimile communication function is encrypted and set in the destination field or the main body of the received electronic mail, the encrypted password is decrypted and using the decrypted password, facsimile transfer of the electronic mail document is executed following the control command.
