Information processing apparatus, information processing system, and information processing method configured to construct a server in the mobile terminal through which an output device communicates with the mobile terminal using a communication information

An information processing system including a mobile terminal that includes at least one processor, and one or more output devices, each coupled to the mobile terminal via at least one of a plurality of networks, the information processing system comprising:

• a memory storing computer readable instructions that cause the at least one processor to:
• transmit communication information to the output device communicating with the mobile terminal via a short-range wireless communication method;
• construct a server in the mobile terminal through which the output device communicates with the mobile terminal using the communication information;
• determine whether the constructed server has received a communication request, responsive to the transmission of the communication information, from the output device via a first network, the first network, being based on a communication method that is different from the short-range wireless communication method;
• and
• transmit an output request to the output device via the constructed server, wherein
• the output request is transmitted to the output device via the first network in a case where the at least one processor determines that the communication request is received via the first network, and
• the output request is transmitted to the output device via a second network in a case where the at least one processor determines that the communication request is not received via the first network, the second network being a network different from the first network, and being based on the communication method different from the short-range wireless communication method.
