Abstract
An image processing apparatus is provided that includes a first communication device, a second communication device, an informing device, and a controller configured to control the first communication device to establish first communication with an information processing terminal device that is within a predetermined communicable distance from the first communication device, and to control the second communication device to transmit, to the information processing terminal device, target data that has been informed of by the informing device at a time when the first communication is established between the first communication device and the information processing terminal device.
Claims14
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a first communication device configured to communicate with an information processing terminal device via first communication within a first communicable distance between the first communication device and the information processing terminal device;
- a second communication device configured to communicate with the information processing terminal device via second communication within a second communicable distance, longer than the first communicable distance, between the second communication device and the information processing terminal device;
- an informing device configured to provide information on target data;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control the first communication device to establish the first communication with the information processing terminal device that is within the first communicable distance from the first communication device;
- and
- control the second communication device to transmit the target data to the information processing terminal device, in response to the first communication being established between the first communication device and the information processing terminal device while the informing device is providing information on the target data and the image processing apparatus is executing an image processing of the target data.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a first image processing device configured to input first image data;
- a second image processing device configured to output second image data;
- a first communication device configured to perform first communication with an information processing terminal device;
- a second communication device configured to perform second communication with the information processing terminal device;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control the first communication device to establish the first communication with the information processing terminal device;
- transmit the first image data to the information processing terminal device via the second communication, in response to the first communication being established between the first communication device and the information processing terminal device while the first image processing device is inputting the first image data;
- and
- transmit the second image data to the information processing terminal device via the second communication, in response to the first communication being established between the first communication device and the information processing terminal device while the second image processing device is outputting the second image data.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer readable instructions configured to, when executed on a computer, cause the computer to:
- establish first communication with an image processing apparatus;
- receive target data identification information for identifying target data from the image processing apparatus via the first communication, in response to the first communication being established between the computer and the image processing apparatus while the image processing apparatus is executing an image processing of the target data;
- establish second communication with the image processing apparatus;
- transmit a request containing the received target data identification information to the image processing apparatus via the second communication;
- and
- receive the target data identified by the target data identification information from the image processing apparatus via the second communication.
