Image recording system, image recording apparatus, non-transitory storage medium storing instructions executable by image recording apparatus, mobile terminal, non-transitory storage medium storing instructions executable by mobile terminal, and method of controlling image recording system

摘要

An image recording system includes: a mobile terminal and an image recording apparatus. The mobile terminal and the image recording apparatus transfer communication setting information about the mobile terminal or the image recording apparatus over a first wireless communication. The mobile terminal transmits image data to the image recording apparatus over a second wireless communication. Each time when the first wireless communication is established, the mobile terminal obtains a signal relating to its position. The mobile terminal or the image recording apparatus creates change information about a change of the position based on a plurality of the signals and sets, based on the change information, at least one setting value respectively for at least one setting item relating to image recording. The image recording apparatus records an image on a recording medium based on the received image data and based on the set at least one setting value.

主权项

1. An image recording system comprising:
a mobile terminal; and an image recording apparatus configured to record an image on a recording medium, the mobile terminal comprising:
a storage device configured to store image data;a mobile-terminal first communication device configured to perform data communication with the image recording apparatus over first wireless communication which is established when a distance between the mobile terminal and the image recording apparatus is equal to or less than a communicable distance;a mobile-terminal second communication device configured to perform data communication with the image recording apparatus over second wireless communication which is established based on communication setting information about the mobile terminal and the image recording apparatus;a position detector configured to output a signal representative of a position of the mobile terminal; anda mobile-terminal controller, the mobile-terminal controller being configured to:
perform at least one of transmitting the communication setting information about the mobile terminal over the first wireless communication and receiving the communication setting information about the image recording apparatus over the first wireless communication; andtransmit the image data stored in the storage device to the image recording apparatus over the second wireless communication, the image recording apparatus comprising:
a recording device configured to record an image on the recording medium based on the image data;an image-recording-apparatus first communication device configured to perform data communication with the mobile terminal over the first wireless communication;an image-recording-apparatus second communication device configured to perform data communication with the mobile terminal over the second wireless communication; andan image-recording-apparatus controller, the image-recording-apparatus controller being configured to perform at least one of receiving, over the first wireless communication, the communication setting information about the mobile terminal which is transmitted by the control of the mobile-terminal controller and transmitting, over the first wireless communication, the communication setting information about the image recording apparatus which is to be received by the control of the mobile-terminal controller, the mobile-terminal controller being configured to, each time when the first wireless communication is established, obtain the signal relating to the position of the mobile terminal which is output from the position detector, one of the mobile-terminal controller and the image-recording-apparatus controller being configured to:
create change information representative of a change of the position of the mobile terminal, based on a plurality of the signals obtained by the mobile-terminal controller; andbased on the created change information, set at least one setting value respectively for at least one setting item relating to the image recording of the image recording apparatus,the image-recording-apparatus controller being configured to control the recording device to record an image on the recording medium based on the image data received over the second wireless communication and based on the set at least one setting value respectively for the at least one setting item.
