20120259966 | APPARATUS, MANAGEMENT METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - An apparatus that manages a system including a gateway device, a first device connected with the gateway device and a second device that is connected with the first device and has a greater number of devices intervening before the gateway device than the first device. The apparatus includes a configuration information acquirer that acquires configuration information from the gateway device, the first device and the second device, wherein the configuration information includes information indicating a device type, information indicating a type of connection interface, and connected-device identification information identifying a device connected with each device; and a function specifier that specifies a remote activation function activatable by the apparatus for each of the gateway device and the first device. | 10-11-2012 |
20130034046 | ACCESS POINT DEVICE AND COMMUNICATION CONFIGURATION PROVIDING METHOD - An access point enables wireless communication in a restricted state where a connection object is limited to less than full functionality. The access point change, in response to the specific instruction being received, changes the restricted state to a non-restricted state where the connection object is not limited, when receiving a specific instruction from a user. The access point sends configuration information for specified security communication between a wireless terminal and the access point or a setup program executed to cause the wireless terminal to obtain the configuration information, to the wireless terminal, when receiving an access from the wireless terminal establishing connection with the access point, in the non-restricted state. The access point returns from the non-restricted state to the restricted state on the occurrence of a specified event. This communication configuration technique is highly versatile and enables the configuration information to be readily set in the wireless terminal. | 02-07-2013 |
