Abstract
A method of supporting wireless connection of an electronic apparatus includes searching an image forming apparatus that is not connected to a wireless network, when the image forming apparatus is searched, releasing a link with an Access Point (AP) and forming a link with the searched image forming apparatus, and transmitting pre-stored AP information to the image forming apparatus such that the image forming apparatus forms a link with the AP.
Claims26
A method of supporting wireless connection of an electronic apparatus, comprising:
- searching an image forming apparatus that is not connected to a wireless network;
- when the image forming apparatus is searched, releasing a link with an Access Point (AP) and forming a link with the searched image forming apparatus;
- and
- transmitting pre-stored AP information to the image forming apparatus such that the image forming apparatus forms a link with the AP.
An electronic apparatus, comprising:
- a storage configured to store AP information;
- a searcher to search an image forming apparatus that is not connected to a wireless network;
- a communicator to, when an image forming apparatus is searched by the searcher, release a link with the AP and form a link with the searched image forming apparatus;
- and
- a controller to control the communicator to transmit the AP information that is necessary to form a link with the AP to the image forming apparatus.
A method of wireless connection of an image forming apparatus that is not connected to a wireless network, comprising:
- forming a link with an electronic apparatus;
- receiving AP information from the electronic apparatus;
- and
- forming a link with an AP corresponding to the AP information using the AP information.
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a communicator to form a link with an electronic apparatus;
- and
- a controller to, when AP information is received from the electronic apparatus through the communicator, control the communicator to form a link with an AP corresponding to the AP information using the AP information.
