## Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes: a plurality of communication units configured to communicate with another device; and a controller configured to control execution of a coordinated function when the communication unit performs communication with the another device in accordance with a specific communication standard, wherein the coordinated function is executable with the another device and the information processing apparatus.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An information processing apparatus comprising:
a plurality of communication units configured to communicate with another device; and
a controller configured to control execution of a coordinated function when the communication unit performs communication with the another device in accordance with a specific communication standard, wherein the coordinated function is executable with the another device and the information processing apparatus.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the controller is configured to change the coordinated function in accordance with the specific communication standard.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the controller is configured to control the execution of the coordinated function in accordance with the specific communication standard and positional information.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein
the positional information is information indicating a position of the information processing apparatus.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the coordinated function is a function that uses a plurality of communication standards.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein
the controller is configured to control the execution of the coordinated function when the information processing apparatus is placed in an environment where the plurality of communication standards are available.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein
the coordinated function is executable with the information processing apparatus and a plurality of other devices.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the controller is further configured to control notification of the coordinated function and to control the execution of the coordinated function when an execution instruction is given by a user after the notification.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 8, wherein
the controller is configured to control the notification of the coordinated function when a power source of the information processing apparatus is turned on.

### Claim 10 (depends on 5)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein
one of the plurality of communication standards is a wired communication standard, and
the controller is further configured to control notification of the coordinated function when the wired communication with the another device is available and to control the execution of the coordinated function when an execution instruction is given by a user after the notification.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the coordinated function is a function that uses a part of the another device.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the coordinated function is executable with the information processing apparatus and a plurality of other devices, and
the controller is configured to change the coordinated function in accordance with order of connection between the information processing apparatus and each of the other devices.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
when communication is established between the communication unit and a device communication unit connected to a part of the another device, the coordinated function is executable with the part of the another device.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the controller is configured to change the coordinated function in accordance with frequency of use of a part of the another device.

### Claim 15

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to function as a controller that controls execution of a coordinated function when communication is performed between a terminal device and another device in accordance with a specific communication standard, wherein the terminal device includes a plurality of communication units configured to communicate with the another device, and the coordinated function is executable with the terminal device and the another device.
