Patent application number | Description | Published |
20100020777 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A management apparatus transmits a registration message to a base station when executing a wireless parameter setting sequence. The base station registers the management apparatus upon the detection of the message. This makes it possible to decrease unwanted communication traffic, and to reduce the time taken to perform the wireless parameter setting processing. | 01-28-2010 |
20100034120 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A communication parameter providing apparatus capable of providing a plurality of communication parameter sets to a reception apparatus. The communication parameter selects a communication parameter set which is suitable for and provided to the reception apparatus, based on a device type of the reception apparatus included in a message of automatic communication parameter setting protocol processing. | 02-11-2010 |
20100177894 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND COMMUNICATION METHOD - When a communication apparatus transmits data to another communication apparatus, a network connected to the communication apparatus and a network connected to the other communication apparatus are searched for. It is determined, in accordance with a communication channel decided based on the search result, whether to execute encryption of the data to be transmitted. If it is determined to execute the encryption, the data is transmitted after encrypting at least part of it. | 07-15-2010 |
20100281525 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION METHOD, TERMINAL AND MANAGEMENT DEVICE - A communication system includes a plurality of terminals and a management device that manages a plurality of networks. A first terminal, which is connected to a first network to which the management device is also connected, transmits a connection request for connecting to a second network to the management device. Upon receiving the connection request, the management device determines a predetermined topology from among a plurality of topologies that can be formed when the first terminal connects to the second network. The first terminal receives network configuration information indicating the predetermined topology from the management device. The first terminal transmits the network configuration information to a plurality of terminals participating in the second network. The second network is recreated accordingly. | 11-04-2010 |
20100291954 | COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION DEVICE - When an instruction operation given by a user to start communication parameter setting is detected, an operation mode of a communication device is determined. According to the determined operation mode, it is determined whether to provide a communication parameter through another communication device operating in a base station mode, or provide a communication parameter directly by the communication device. | 11-18-2010 |
20100296455 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING NETWORK THEREBY - When a connection is made to a wireless network constructed by a base station, a request to construct a wireless network in which a wireless communication apparatus operates as a base station is sensed and a determination is made as to whether communication is in progress with a communication apparatus of a network different from the wireless network constructed by the base station. If the request to construct the wireless network is sensed and it is determined that communication is in progress with a communication apparatus of a network different from the wireless network in which the base station is the intermediary, then an attempt is made to construct a wireless network in which the wireless communication apparatus operates as a base station. | 11-25-2010 |
20110040862 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM HAVING MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND USER APPARATUS, MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, USER APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - To facilitate account information setting, in a communication system including a management apparatus which manages account information to be used to use a service provided by a server apparatus, and a user apparatus which uses the service, the management apparatus selects, based on device classification information acquired from the user apparatus, account information to be provided to the user apparatus from one or more pieces of account information stored in a storage unit, and provides the account information to the user apparatus. The user apparatus sends the device classification information of the user apparatus to the management apparatus, receives, from the management apparatus, the account information selected based on the device classification information, and uses the service provided by the server apparatus. | 02-17-2011 |
20120302276 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A management apparatus transmits a registration message to a base station when executing a wireless parameter setting sequence. The base station registers the management apparatus upon the detection of the message. This makes it possible to decrease unwanted communication traffic, and to reduce the time taken to perform the wireless parameter setting processing. | 11-29-2012 |
20130142077 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING NETWORK THEREBY - When a connection is made to a wireless network constructed by a base station, a request to construct a wireless network in which a wireless communication apparatus operates as a base station is sensed and a determination is made as to whether communication is in progress with a communication apparatus of a network different from the wireless network constructed by the base station. If the request to construct the wireless network is sensed and it is determined that communication is in progress with a communication apparatus of a network different from the wireless network in which the base station is the intermediary, then an attempt is made to construct a wireless network in which the wireless communication apparatus operates as a base station. | 06-06-2013 |
20130150016 | COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION DEVICE - When an instruction operation given by a user to start communication parameter setting is detected, an operation mode of a communication device is determined. According to the determined operation mode, it is determined whether to provide a communication parameter through another communication device operating in a base station mode, or provide a communication parameter directly by the communication device. | 06-13-2013 |
20140215048 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM HAVING MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND USER APPARATUS, MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, USER APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - To facilitate account information setting, in a communication system including a management apparatus which manages account information to be used to use a service provided by a server apparatus, and a user apparatus which uses the service, the management apparatus selects, based on device classification information acquired from the user apparatus, account information to be provided to the user apparatus from one or more pieces of account information stored in a storage unit, and provides the account information to the user apparatus. The user apparatus sends the device classification information of the user apparatus to the management apparatus, receives, from the management apparatus, the account information selected based on the device classification information, and uses the service provided by the server apparatus. | 07-31-2014 |
