Abstract
An MPF (Multi Function Peripheral) obtains a BD address and a device name from a communication partner search response when it receives the communication partner search response from a cellular phone. When the MFP successfully obtains the BD address and the BD address is stored in a device management database in a RAM of the MFP, the MFP obtains a user name corresponding to the BD address from the device management database. The MFP obtains settings associated with the user name from an environment database in the RAM of the MFP and stores the same in an environment storage area in the RAM. A display process, etc. in the MFP are performed according to the settings stored in the environment storage area.
Claims66
An environment setup system for an electronic apparatus, comprising:
- a storage unit that stores environment information of each user of the electronic apparatus, the environment information including user interface setting specification information for setting up a user interface of the electronic apparatus;
- the electronic apparatus that is capable of setting up an environment based on the environment information of each user stored in the storage unit;
- and
- a radio communication terminal that is capable of transmitting identification information for identifying a user by radio to the electronic apparatus,
- the electronic apparatus comprising:
- the user interface;
- a reception unit that receives the identification information transmitted from the radio communication terminal;
- an environment information acquisition unit that obtains from the storage unit the environment information of the user identified by the identification information received by the reception unit;
- and
- a setup unit that sets up the environment of the electronic apparatus based on the environment information obtained by the environment information acquisition unit, and sets up the user interface based on the user interface setting specification information.
An environment setup system that comprises a radio communication terminal provided with a predetermined user interface and an electronic apparatus provided with a predetermined user interface and capable of communicating with the radio communication terminal, and that sets up the user interface of the electronic apparatus, wherein

- and a radio communication terminal that can transmit identification information for identifying a user by radio to the electronic apparatus,
- the electronic apparatus comprising:
- the user interface;
- a reception unit that receives the identification information transmitted from the radio communication terminal;
- an environment information acquisition unit that obtains from the storage unit the environment information of the user identified based on the identification information received by the reception unit;
- and
- a setup unit that sets the environment of the electronic apparatus based on the environment information obtained by the environment information acquisition unit, and sets up the user interface based on the user interface setting specification information.
An electronic apparatus in an environment setup system that sets up a user interface of the electronic apparatus, the system comprising:
- a radio communication terminal provided with a predetermined user interface, a storage unit that stores settings of the user interface and a transmission unit that transmits user interface setting specification information which specifies the settings of the user interface stored in the storage unit;
- and the electronic apparatus provided with a predetermined user interface and capable of communicating with the radio communication terminal, the electronic apparatus comprising:
- a reception unit that receives the user interface setting specification information transmitted from the radio communication terminal, and
- a setup unit that sets up the user interface of the electronic apparatus based on the user interface setting specification information received by the reception unit.
