COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18299124 Titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR SYSTEM'
Simplified Explanation
The invention is a communication apparatus that can connect with an information processing apparatus. It has several components: 1. A first transmission unit that sends information to the information processing apparatus, which allows for the display of a setting screen. This screen is used to input setting information related to Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication, which is a type of authentication based on IEEE802.1X/EAP. 2. A reception unit that receives the setting information inputted on the setting screen from the information processing apparatus. 3. An attempt unit that uses the setting information to try and authenticate with a predetermined authentication server using EAP authentication. 4. A second transmission unit that, in case the EAP authentication fails, sends information to the information processing apparatus. This information is used to display a screen that informs about the failure of the EAP authentication.
Original Abstract Submitted
The invention provides a communication apparatus communicable with an information processing apparatus, wherein the apparatus comprises a first transmission unit configured to transmit, to the information processing apparatus, information for displaying a setting screen for accepting an input of setting information concerning Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication as authentication based on IEEE802.1X/EAP; a reception unit configured to receive, from the information processing apparatus, the setting information input to the setting screen; an attempt unit configured to attempt EAP authentication with a predetermined authentication server based on the setting information input to the setting screen; and a second transmission unit configured to transmit, based on a failure of the EAP authentication, information for displaying a screen based on the failure of the EAP authentication to the information processing apparatus.
