Abstract
A program causes a terminal device to function as a communication unit that receives a beacon signal and the processing unit. After an event to cause the communication unit to transmit a job to a target apparatus (electronic apparatus) occurs, or after a predetermined operation is performed by the terminal device in response to receiving a status from the target apparatus, in a case where it is determined that a user moves to an apparatus (non-target apparatus) different from the target apparatus, based on the received radio wave strength of the beacon signal from the target apparatus, the processing unit performs warning notification processing.
Claims16
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for recording a program causing a terminal device to function as
- a communication unit that receives
- a first beacon signal from a first apparatus as a target apparatus, and
- a second beacon signal from a second apparatus different from the target apparatus;
- and
- a processing unit,
- wherein, after an event to cause the communication unit to transmit a job to the first apparatus occurs, or after a predetermined operation is performed in the terminal device based on the event that is generated by the processing unit in response to a status which is received by the communication unit from the first apparatus, in a case where it is determined that the terminal device moves to the second apparatus, based on a first radio wave strength of the first beacon signal and a second radio wave strength of the second beacon signal, the processing unit performs warning notification processing.
A terminal device that communicates with a first apparatus and a second apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit that receives a first beacon signal from the first apparatus and a second beacon signal from the second apparatus;
- a processing unit;
- and
- a notification unit,
- wherein, after an event to cause the communication unit to transmit a job to the first apparatus occurs, or after a predetermined operation is performed in the terminal device based on the event that is generated by the processing unit in response to a status which is received by the communication unit from the first apparatus, in a case where it is determined that the terminal device moves to the second apparatus, based on a first radio wave strength of the first beacon signal and a second radio wave strength of the second beacon signal which are received by the communication unit, the processing unit makes the notification unit perform a warning notification.
A warning notification method comprising:
- starting a warning mode after an event to transmit a job from a terminal device to a first apparatus as a target apparatus occurs or after a predetermined operation is performed in the terminal device after receiving a status from the first apparatus;
- calculating a first reference distance that is a reference distance between the terminal device and the first apparatus, based on a first radio wave strength of a first beacon signal that is received from the first apparatus, and calculating a second reference distance that is a reference distance between the terminal device and a second apparatus, based on a second radio wave strength of a second beacon signal that is received from the second apparatus different from the first apparatus;
- calculating a first distance between the terminal device and the first apparatus, based on the first radio wave strengths of second and subsequent first beacon signals that are received from the first apparatus, and calculating a second distance between the terminal device and the second apparatus, based on the second radio wave strengths of the second and subsequent second beacon signals that are received from the second device;
- performing warning notification processing in a case where the first distance is larger than the first reference distance and the second distance is smaller than the second reference distance;
- and
- ending the warning mode in a case where it is determined that the first distance is smaller than or equal to a given threshold.
