==CONNECTION SETTING METHOD THAT IMPROVES CONVENIENCE OF CONNECTION TO NETWORK, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129964 titled 'CONNECTION SETTING METHOD THAT IMPROVES CONVENIENCE OF CONNECTION TO NETWORK, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a method for improving the convenience of connecting a terminal apparatus to a network by determining if the terminal apparatus is in a state where it can access a peripheral device via a network and executing processing to place the terminal apparatus in that state if necessary.

* The predetermined program operates as a background process on the terminal apparatus.
* The method involves checking if the terminal apparatus can access a peripheral device via a network connected to a base station.
* If the terminal apparatus is not in the predetermined state, the method executes processing to place it in that state.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in various industries where seamless network connections are crucial, such as IoT devices, smart home systems, and industrial automation.

== Problems Solved ==
This method solves the problem of manual configuration and setup required for a terminal apparatus to access a peripheral device via a network, streamlining the connection process for users.

== Benefits ==
The method improves user convenience by automating the process of setting up network connections, reducing the time and effort required to access peripheral devices.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Potential commercial applications of this technology include smart home devices, IoT solutions, and industrial systems that require efficient network connections for seamless operation.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be methods for automatically configuring network settings on devices, but this specific method focuses on determining the state of the terminal apparatus to access a peripheral device via a network.

== Unanswered Questions ==
=== How does the method determine the state of the terminal apparatus accurately? ===
The abstract does not provide details on the specific criteria or parameters used to determine if the terminal apparatus is in the predetermined state.

=== Are there any limitations to the method in terms of network compatibility or device types? ===
The abstract does not mention any potential limitations or restrictions of the method in terms of network compatibility or the types of peripheral devices that can be accessed.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a connection setting method that improves the convenience of connection to a network. a method of controlling a terminal apparatus having a predetermined program includes determining, by the predetermined program which is operating as a background process, whether or not the terminal apparatus is in a predetermined state in which the terminal apparatus can access a predetermined peripheral device via a network of a base station to which the terminal apparatus is connected, and executing, based on a determination that the terminal apparatus is not in the predetermined state, predetermined processing to place the terminal apparatus in the predetermined state.
