Function execution device and communication terminal

A function execution device comprising:

• a function execution portion configured to execute one or more of a plurality of functions, the function execution device including authentication state information;
• an NFC-compatible interface configured to perform wireless communication with a communication terminal using an NFC-compatible communication protocol, the NFC-compatible interface configured to transmit network information and the authentication state information to the communication terminal;
• a Wi-Fi-compatible interface configured to perform wireless communication over a Wi-Fi-compatible network with the communication terminal using a Wi-Fi-compatible communication protocol, where the Wi-Fi-compatible network is accessible by the communication terminal using the network information communicated via the NFC-compatible interface;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing computer-readable instructions therein, the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the function execution device to perform:
• specifying whether a determination using authentication information transmitted from the communication terminal should be performed,
• in a case where the determination should be performed:
• the NFC-compatible interface is configured to transmit, to the communication terminal, the authentication state information indicating the determination using the authentication information transmitted from the communication terminal should be performed,
• wherein the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the function execution device to further perform:
• receiving, via the Wi-Fi-compatible interface, the authentication information from the communication terminal over the Wi-Fi-compatible network when both the function execution device and the communication terminal are joined to the Wi-Fi-compatible network;
• transmitting the authentication information to another device;
• receiving confirmation that the communication terminal is authorized;
• and
• controlling the function execution portion to execute a function of the one or more of the plurality of functions requested by the communication terminal,
• in a case where the determination should not be performed:
• the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the function execution device to further perform:
• controlling the function execution portion to execute a function of the one or more of the plurality of functions requested by the communication terminal, without any of transmitting the authentication state information, receiving the authentication information, transmitting the authentication information, and receiving the confirmation.
