INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18459961 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an information processing apparatus that has two communication interfaces: one for wireless communication and one for wired communication. The apparatus includes a feature that allows the user to set a preference for either wireless or wired communication. If the user chooses to use the wireless communication function, the apparatus will not use the wired communication function. However, if the user cancels the setting for wireless communication before connecting to the network, the apparatus will automatically switch to using the wired communication function.

  • The information processing apparatus has two communication interfaces: wireless and wired.
  • Users can set a preference for either wireless or wired communication.
  • If the wireless communication function is chosen, the apparatus will not use the wired communication function.
  • If the user cancels the wireless communication setting before connecting to the network, the apparatus will switch to using the wired communication function.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various devices that require both wireless and wired communication capabilities, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and IoT devices.
  • It can be useful in situations where users need to switch between wireless and wired communication based on their preferences or network availability.

Problems Solved

  • Simplifies the process of switching between wireless and wired communication for users.
  • Provides flexibility in choosing the preferred communication method.
  • Ensures seamless communication by automatically switching to the available communication method.

Benefits

  • Enhanced user experience by allowing them to choose their preferred communication method.
  • Improved connectivity by automatically switching to the available communication method.
  • Simplified setup process by automatically configuring the communication settings based on user preferences.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus is provided, the apparatus comprises a first communication interface for performing wireless communication via a network provided by an external access point; a second communication interface for performing wired communication; a unit for setting, in a case where a user operation to set a first communication function for connecting to the external access point via the first communication interface to perform wireless communication has been accepted, a setting indicating that a second communication function for performing wired communication will not be used, and unit for setting, in case where a user operation to cancel the setting of the first communication function has been accepted before the information processing apparatus belongs to the network provided by the external access point, a setting indicating that the second communication function will be used.
