Abstract
In response to receiving an acquisition request for acquiring wireless connection information from an external apparatus, it is determined whether or not a sensor for detecting a nearby object has detected an object. If it is determined that the sensor has detected an object, the wireless connection information is transmitted to the external apparatus. If it is determined that the sensor has not detected an object, the wireless connection information is not transmitted to the external apparatus.
Claims26
A communication system in which a mobile terminal and a communication apparatus perform a communication, the system comprises,
- the mobile terminal comprising:
- a first Bluetooth communicator that performs a communication based on Bluetooth;
- and
- at least one controller configured to:
- cause the first Bluetooth communicator to send, to the communication apparatus, a first request for establishing a Bluetooth communication based on a received advertising packet;
- send, to the communication apparatus via the established Bluetooth communication, a second request of any one of several types of requests including a first type of request and a second type of request, and
- the communication apparatus comprising:
- a second Bluetooth communicator that performs a communication based on Bluetooth;
- a human presence sensor capable of detecting existence of a person within a limited area which is provided close to a front of the communication apparatus;
- and
- at least one controller configured to:
- cause the second Bluetooth communicator to transmit advertising packets to a surrounding area intermittently;
- establish, in response to the receiving the first request, the Bluetooth communication between the second Bluetooth communicator and the first Bluetooth communicator;
- and
- receive the second request via the established Bluetooth communication, perform processing corresponding to the first type request without depending on a result of detection of the human sensor in a case where the received second request is the first type request, and determine whether to perform processing corresponding to the second type request based on a result of detection of the human sensor in a case where the received second request is the second type request.
A method for a communication system including a mobile terminal having a first Bluetooth communicator and a communication apparatus having a second Bluetooth communicator and a human presence sensor capable of detecting existence of a person, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by the second Bluetooth communicator, advertising packets to a surrounding area intermittently;
- sending to the second Bluetooth communicator, by the first Bluetooth communicator, a first request for establishing a Bluetooth communication based on a received advertising packet;
- establishing, in response to the receiving the first request, the Bluetooth communication between the second Bluetooth communicator and the first Bluetooth communicator;
- sending to the second Bluetooth communicator, by the first Bluetooth communicator via the established Bluetooth communication, a second request of any one of several types of requests including a first type of request and a second type of request and
- receiving the second request via the established Bluetooth communication, performing processing corresponding to the first type request without depending on a result of detection of the human sensor in a case where the received second request is the first type request, and determining whether to perform processing corresponding to the second type request based on a result of detection of the human sensor in a case where the received second request is the second type request.
