FUNCTION EXECUTING APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM STORING INSTRUCTIONS EXECUTABLE BY THE FUNCTION EXECUTING APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE FUNCTION EXECUTING APPARATUS

摘要

A function executing apparatus includes: a communication device which communicates with an external device; a function executing device which executes at least one preset function; and a controller. The controller determines whether the communication device can communicate with the external device. When the communication device can communicate with the external device, the controller executes a running-state determination processing for determining whether an application program corresponding to a certain function to be executed by the function executing device is running on the external device. When the application program corresponding to the certain function is running, the controller controls the function executing device to execute the certain function. When the application program corresponding to the certain function is not running, the controller executes an activation command processing for transmitting an activation command for activating the application program corresponding to the certain function, to the external device.

1. A function executing apparatus comprising:
a communication device configured to communicate with an external device; a function executing device configured to execute at least one preset function; a processor; and a memory configured to store instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the function executing device to:
determine whether communication of the communication device with the external device is possible;execute a running-state determination processing in which the processor determines whether an application program corresponding to a certain function of the at least one preset function to be executed by the function executing device is running on the external device, when the processor determines that the communication of the communication device with the external device is possible;control the function executing device to execute the certain function, when the processor in the running-state determination processing determines that the application program corresponding to the certain function is running; andexecute an activation command processing in which the processor transmits an activation command for activating the application program corresponding to the certain function, to the external device, when the processor in the running-state determination processing determines that the application program corresponding to the certain function is not running.
