Communication device, method of controlling communication device, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium therefor

A method of control a communication device which does not have an image processing function, the communication device having a universal serial bus (USB) interface and a wireless communication interface,

• wherein the communication device is configured to communicate with an information processing apparatus through the USB interface using a first protocol,
• wherein the communication device is configured to communicate with an image processing apparatus having the image processing function through the wireless communication interface using a second protocol, the second protocol being different from the first protocol,
• wherein the method includes:
• obtaining particular information of the image processing apparatus from the image processing apparatus using the second protocol;
• when the communication device receives a search request from the information processing apparatus via the USB interface, responding, via the USB interface, to the search request based on the particular information of the image processing apparatus as obtained;
• and
• when the communication device receives a first execution instruction causing the image processing apparatus to perform image processing from the information processing apparatus through the USB interface using the first protocol, transmitting a second execution instruction in accordance with the first execution instruction to the image processing apparatus through the wireless communication interface using the second protocol.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for a communication device which does not have an image processing function, the communication device having a universal serial bus (USB) interface, a wireless communication interface and a controller,

• wherein the communication device is configured to communicate with an information processing apparatus through the USB interface using a first protocol,
• wherein the communication device is configured to communicate with an image processing apparatus having the image processing function through the wireless communication interface using a second protocol, the second protocol being different from the first protocol,
• wherein the non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores instructions which cause, when executed by the controller, the communication device to:
• obtain particular information of the image processing apparatus from the image processing apparatus using the second protocol;
• when the controller receives a search request from the information processing apparatus via the USB interface, respond, via the USB interface, to the search request based on the particular information of the image processing apparatus obtained;
• and
• when the controller receives a first execution instruction causing the image processing apparatus to perform image processing from the information processing apparatus through the USB interface using the first protocol, transmit a second execution instruction in accordance with the first execution instruction to the image processing apparatus through the wireless communication interface using the second protocol.
