Requesting through wired communication a diagnostic signal through wireless communication

摘要

An information processing apparatus includes: a first communication section which communicates with an external device having a diagnosis function of a network using a first communication method; a second communication section which communicates with the external device using a second communication method; and a transmission section which transmits a diagnosis signal to the external device through the second communication section. The transmission section transmits the diagnosis signal according to a diagnosis request received through the first communication section from the external device.

主权项

1. A diagnosis method of diagnosing a communication method between a first information processing apparatus and a second information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
transmitting a transmitting request that requests a diagnosis signal by a second communicated method to the second information processing apparatus from the first information processing apparatus using a first communication method which is different from the second communication method; transmitting a diagnosis signal to the first information processing apparatus from the second information processing apparatus using the second communication method, according to reception of the transmitting request; and determining that communication is possible using the second communication method if a signal received in the first information processing apparatus using the second communication method is the diagnosis signal.
