Mobile terminal, printing apparatus and computer-readable recording medium storing program therefor

摘要

A mobile terminal establishes a long distance wireless communication with a printing device in accordance with identification information communicated between the mobile terminal and the printing device using the near field communication. The mobile terminal transmits a print command to the printing device using one of the near field communication unit and the long distance communication unit. The mobile terminal determines, after the print command was transmitted, and transmits, to the printing device, using the long distance communication unit, a print termination command, when the mobile terminal is spaced from the printing device by the first distance.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of a mobile terminal having a near field communication unit configured to establish a near field wireless communication between the mobile terminal and a printing device and a long distance communication unit configured to establish a long distance wireless communication between the mobile terminal and the printing device, a communication distance of the long distance communication unit being longer than a communication distance of the near field communication, the recording medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause the mobile terminal to:
establish the long distance wireless communication between the mobile terminal and the printing device in accordance with identification information, the identification information being communicated between the mobile terminal and the printing device using the near field communication; transmit a print command to the printing device using one of the near field communication unit and the long distance communication unit, the print command being for initiating a printing operation to print an image based on image data stored in a storage of the mobile terminal; determine, after the print command was transmitted, whether a distance between the mobile terminal and the printing device is equal to or greater than a threshold, the threshold being greater than a maximum communication distance required to establish the near field communication; and when it is determined that the distance between the mobile terminal and the printing device is equal to or greater than the threshold, transmit a print termination command instructing termination of the printing operation to the printing device using the long distance communication unit.
