2. Description of the Related Art An MFP is known as an information processing apparatus that performs short-range wireless communication such as NFC (Near Field Communication) communication and Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy (hereinafter referred to as "BLE") communication. Short-range wireless communication is mainly used for pairing and handover of communication information. For example, when a mobile terminal having a short-range wireless communication function approaches the MFP, the MFP transmits short-range wireless communication information including address information such as the IP address and MAC address of the MFP to the mobile terminal through short-range wireless communication. (See Patent Document 1, for example). Based on the address information included in the received short-range wireless communication information, the mobile terminal performs wireless communication such as Wi-fi, which enables faster communication than the short-range wireless communication, with the MFP. Send the data to the MFP.

In recent years, MFPs with multiple lines have been developed, and these MFPs can use multiple different networks. For example, this MFP uses one network on one line, and uses another network different from the one network on another line. In this MFP, address information is set for each line, and the address information for each line is different from each other. In this MFP as well, when address information is transmitted to a mobile terminal by short-range wireless communication, it is necessary to set the address information as short-range wireless communication information, but only one address information can be set in the short-range wireless communication information. . For this reason, the MFP needs to determine specific address information to be set in the short-range wireless communication information from address information of a plurality of lines.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the procedure of connection information setting processing executed by the MFP 10 of FIG.

The processing in FIG. 4 is performed by the CPU 202 executing a program stored in the ROM 204 . The process of FIG. 4 is a process of setting address information in NDEF data 600 or the like shown in FIG.

In FIG. 4, first, when the CPU 202 detects that a predetermined condition is satisfied (step S401), it determines whether the wireless direct communication function is enabled or disabled (step S402). The predetermined condition is, for example, activation of the MFP 10 or setting change in any one of the LAN selection screen 301 , wireless direct setting screen 306 , and wireless direct execution instruction screen 309 .

As a result of the determination in step S402, when the wireless direct communication function is valid, the CPU 202 determines whether or not the wireless direct communication is started (step S403).

As a result of the determination in step S403, when wireless direct communication is started, the CPU 202 sets information on wireless direct communication as connection information (near field wireless communication information) (step S404). Information related to wireless direct communication includes wireless direct address information such as wireless direct IP address and MAC address, SSID, and network key. After that, the CPU 202 performs the process of step S411, which will be described later.

When the wireless direct communication function is disabled as a result of the determination in step S402, or when the wireless direct communication is not started as a result of the determination in step S403, the CPU 202 confirms the setting on the LAN selection screen 301 (step S405). . Specifically, in step S405, it is confirmed whether the setting value indicating which of the wired LAN mode, the wireless LAN mode, and the multi-line mode is stored in the HDD 205 .

In step S405, if the setting value indicating the wired LAN mode is stored in the HDD 205, the CPU 202 sets information regarding wired LAN communication as the connection information (step S406). Information related to wired LAN communication is the IP address and MAC address of the MFP 10 used in the wired infrastructure (hereinafter referred to as "wired infrastructure address information"). After that, the CPU 202 performs the process of step S411, which will be described later.

In step S405, if the setting value indicating the wireless LAN mode is stored in the HDD 205, the CPU 202 sets information regarding wireless LAN communication as the connection information (step S407). Information related to wireless LAN communication is the IP address and MAC address of the MFP 10 used in the wireless infrastructure (hereinafter referred to as "wireless infrastructure address information"). After that, the CPU 202 performs the process of step S411, which will be described later.

In step S405, if the setting value indicating the multiple line mode is stored in HDD 205, CPU 202 confirms the setting in priority IF setting screen 500 of FIG. 5 (step S408).

The priority IF setting screen 500 sets the line corresponding to the address information set in the connection information. A priority IF setting screen 500 includes a main line button 501 and a sub line button 502 . When the main line button 501 is selected, the MFP 10 sets the main line as the line corresponding to the address information set in the connection information. When the sub-line button 502 is selected, the MFP 10 sets a sub-line as a line corresponding to the address information set in the connection information.

In step S408, if the setting on the priority IF setting screen 500 is the main line button 501, the CPU 202 sets information on communication using the main line as connection information (step S409). Information related to communication using the main line is the IP address and MAC address of the main line (hereinafter referred to as "main line address information"). After that, the CPU 202 performs the process of step S411, which will be described later.

In step S408, if the setting on the priority IF setting screen 500 is the sub line button 502, the CPU 202 sets information regarding communication using the sub line as the connection information (step S409). Information related to communication using the sub-line is the IP address and MAC address of the sub-line (hereinafter referred to as "sub-line address information"). Next, the CPU 202 writes the set connection information to the NDEF data (step S411). For example, as in steps 406, S407, S409, and S410, when only the address information is set as the connection information, the CPU 202 writes the connection information into the NDEF data 600 having the data format shown in FIG. 6(a). In NDEF data 600 , address information is written into network ID record 601 . Also, as in step S404, when the SSID and network key are set as the connection information in addition to the address information, the CPU 202 writes the connection information into the NDEF data 602 in the data format shown in FIG. 6B. In NDEF data 602 , address information is written in network ID record 603 and SSID and network key are written in unique extension record 604 . After that, the CPU 202 terminates this process. When the user holds the mobile terminal 11 over the NFC tag (not shown) of the MFP 10 after completing the process of FIG. 4, NDEF data including the set connection information is transmitted from the MFP 10 to the mobile terminal 11 by NFC communication.

An address can be provided to the mobile terminal 11 .

Further, in the process of FIG. 4 described above, the short-range wireless communication is either NFC communication or BLE communication. can be sent.

Furthermore, in the process of FIG. 4 described above, since the address information is the IP address and the MAC address, it is possible to perform wired LAN communication and wireless LAN communication with the portable terminal 11 at a higher speed than short-range wireless communication.

Although the present invention has been described using the above-described embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, the wireless infrastructure may be used as the main line and the wired infrastructure may be used as the sub line. Corresponding to this, the operation button provided on the LAN selection screen 301 is not the wired LAN (main) + wireless LAN (secondary) button 304, but the wireless LAN (main) + wired LAN (secondary) button. Also good.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, priority IF setting screen 500 may include a wireless direct button in addition to main line button 501 and sub line button 502 . When the wireless direct button is selected on the priority IF setting screen 500, the MFP 10 writes wireless direct address information to the NDEF data.

Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the connection information may be set in the advertising packet transmitted by BLE communication.

The processing in FIG. 7 is also performed by the CPU 202 executing the program stored in the ROM 204 . The process of FIG. 7 is a process of setting connection information in an advertising packet 800 shown in FIG. 8 that is transmitted by BLE communication, which is an example of short-range wireless communication.

In FIG. 7, the CPU 202 performs steps S401 to S403.

As a result of the determination in step S403, when the wireless direct communication is started, the CPU 202 sets the wireless direct address information as the connection information (step S701). Next, the CPU 202 transmits the advertising packet 800 of FIG. 8 including the connection information by BLE communication (step S702). In the advertising packet 800 , the MAC address is set in Advertise Address 801 and the IP address is set in Advertise Payload 802 . After that, the CPU 202 terminates this process.

As a result of the determination in step S403, when wireless direct communication has not started, the CPU 202 performs the processing of steps S405 to S410. After the CPU 202 performs the processing of steps S406, S407, S409, and S410, it performs the processing of step S702 and after. When the user brings the mobile terminal 11 closer to the MFP 10 after completing the process of FIG. 7, the advertising packet 800 including the set connection information is transmitted from the MFP 10 to the mobile terminal 11 by BLE communication.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the connection information may be written in the GATT response by BLE communication.

The advertising packet 1000 does not contain the IP address in the connection information. Next, the CPU 202 determines whether or not a GATT request, which is a connection information transmission request, has been received from the communication device (step S902). The GATT request includes an ID for specifying the type of connection information to be sent.

As a result of the determination in step S902, when the GATT request is not received, the CPU 202 terminates this process. On the other hand, as a result of determination in step S902, when a GATT request is received from a communication device, for example, the mobile terminal 11, the CPU 202 transmits a GATT response including connection information corresponding to the received GATT request to the mobile terminal 11 (step S903). In step S902, for example, as shown in FIG. 10B, when a GATT request including ID "1" corresponding to "IP address" is received from the mobile terminal 11, the CPU 202 to the mobile terminal 11. After that, the CPU 202 terminates this process.
