Image processing systems that establish connections using different communication protocols, data processing apparatuses that establish connections using different communication protocols, and computer-readable media storing instructions for such data processing apparatuses

摘要

Image processing systems include image processing apparatuses and information processing apparatuses. Image processing apparatuses include image processing devices, which perform image processing for printing print image data, generating scanning image data, or both; and first and second communication devices, which communicate using first and second communication protocols, respectively. Information processing apparatuses include third and fourth communication devices, which communicate using the first and second communication protocols, respectively. First and third communication devices communicate therebetween using the first communication protocol to transmit connection information. Image processing apparatuses, information processing apparatuses, or both determine whether an image transmission condition for transferring the image data between second and fourth communication devices is satisfied. Second and fourth communication devices use connection information to establish communication therebetween using the second communication protocol in response to the determining that the image transmission condition is satisfied and transmit the image data therebetween using the second communication protocol.

主权项

1. A data processing apparatus comprising:
a controller comprising one or more control devices; a communication device configured to communicate using a first communication protocol; and an other communication device configured to communicate using a second communication protocol, wherein the controller is configured to control the communication device to communicate with an external device using the first communication protocol to transmit connection information between the communication device and the external device, the connection information comprising information for establishing communication using the second communication protocol, wherein the controller is configured to determine whether an image transmission condition for transferring image data between the data processing apparatus and the external device is satisfied, wherein the controller is configured to control the other communication device to communicate with the external device using the second communication protocol after the connection information is used to establish communication between the other communication device and the external device using the second communication protocol in response to the controller determining that the image transmission condition is satisfied, wherein the communication between the other communication device and the external device using the second communication protocol comprises at least one of:
transmitting the image data from the other communication device to the external device; andreceiving the image data by the other communication device from the external device, wherein the controller is configured to determine whether a portion of the image data generated is greater than or equal to a predetermined value after a predetermined waiting time from when communication between the other communication device and the external device using the first communication protocol is established, wherein the controller is configured to control the other communication device to disconnect communication with the external device using the second communication protocol in response to determining that the portion of the image data generated is not greater than or equal to the predetermined value after the predetermined waiting time, wherein the controller is configured to determine whether an other waiting time from when the other communication device disconnected communication with the external device using the second communication protocol is greater than or equal to an other predetermined time, and wherein the controller is configured to control the other communication device to reestablish communication with the external device using the second communication protocol in response to determining that the other waiting time is greater than or equal to the other predetermined time.
