发明名称 Communication device
摘要 A communication device may monitor an establishment of a first type of communication link between a communication device and an external device while the communication device is in a first state in which a P2P mode of an NFC standard is active and a first mode of the NFC standard is active. The communication device may send first data to the external device by using the first type of communication link. The first data may include a command for causing the external device to execute an activation of a particular application. The communication device may change the state of the communication device from the first state to a second state in which the P2P mode is active, and perform the two-way communication with the external device that operates the particular application by using a second type of communication link.

主权项 1. A communication device configured to perform communication with an external device according to an NFC (Near Field Communication) scheme complying with an NFC standard, the communication device comprising: an executing unit configured to execute at least one of a print function and a scan function; an NFC interface configured to operate in the NFC scheme; a processor; and a memory configured to store computer executable instructions, wherein the computer executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the communication device to execute: monitoring an establishment of a first type of communication link between the communication device and the external device while the communication device is in a first state in which a P2P (Peer to Peer) mode of the NFC standard is not active and a first mode of the NFC standard is active, the first type of communication link being for performing a data communication between the communication device in the first mode and the external device in a second mode of the NFC standard; sending first data to the external device via the NFC interface by using the first type of communication link, in a case where the first type of communication link is established while the communication device is in the first state, the first data including a command for causing the external device to execute an activation of a particular application, the particular application being for performing a two-way communication in accordance with the P2P mode so as to send request data for causing the communication device to execute at least one of the print function and the scan function; disconnecting the first type of communication link between the communication device and the external device after sending the first data; changing, at a predetermined timing after sending the first data, a state of the communication device from the first state in which the P2P mode is not active to a second state in which the P2P mode is active; monitoring an establishment of a second type of communication link between the communication device and the external device while the communication device is in the second state in which the P2P mode is active, the second type of communication link being for performing a data communication between the communication device in the P2P mode and the external device in the P2P mode; performing the two-way communication with the external device, that operates the particular application, via the NFC interface by using the second type of communication link, in a case where the second type of communication link is established between the communication device and the external device, wherein the two-way communication includes receiving the request data from the external device and sending response data in response to the request data to the external device; and causing the executing unit to execute at least one of the print function and the scan function in response to the request data received by the two-way communication.
