Mobile terminal device and method and computer program product for establishing wireless connection

A method of establishing a wireless communication in a mobile terminal device that establishes a wireless connection by a first communication unit when moved close to an information processing apparatus that performs an information processing, receives communication setting information for a second communication unit that is capable of enabling a wireless communication in a wider range than the first communication unit, and establishes a wireless communication by the second communication unit based on the communication setting information, the method comprising:

• acquiring, by the mobile terminal device receiving from the information processing apparatus, a setting item relating to an information processing performed by the information processing apparatus through the second communication unit in response to a request for acquiring the setting item;
• displaying, by the mobile terminal device, a setting screen on which a value of the setting item is displayed in a selectable manner;
• storing in a storage unit a value of a setting item selected on the setting screen as history information, with identification information for identifying the history information;
• acquiring present physical location information of the mobile terminal device to be used as the identification information for identifying the history information;
• retrieving the history information associated with the acquired present physical location information of the mobile terminal device;
• and
• displaying, on the setting screen of the mobile terminal device, a setting content based on the retrieved history information.

A computer program product comprising computer-readable program codes embodied in a non-transitory computer-usable medium and provided to establish a wireless communication in a mobile terminal device that establishes a wireless connection by a first communication unit when moved close to an information processing apparatus that performs an information processing, receives communication setting information for a second communication unit that is capable of enabling a wireless communication in a wider range than the first communication unit, and establishes a wireless communication by the second communication unit based on the communication setting information, the program codes when executed causing the mobile terminal device to perform a method including:

• acquiring, by the mobile terminal device from the information processing apparatus, a setting item relating to an information processing performed by the information processing apparatus through the second communication unit in response to a request for acquiring the setting item;
• displaying, by the mobile terminal device, a setting screen on which a value of the setting item is displayed in a selectable manner;
• storing in a storage unit a value of a setting item selected on the setting screen as history information, with identification information for identifying the history information;
• acquiring present physical location information of the mobile terminal device to be used as the identification information for identifying the history information;
• retrieving the history information associated with the acquired present physical location information of the mobile terminal device;
• and
• displaying, on the setting screen of the mobile terminal device, a setting content based on the retrieved history information.
