发明名称 Wireless communication device
摘要 A wireless communication device may perform a first determination process of determining whether the access point operates in accordance with a first type of authentication protocol in which an authentication is performed by an authentication server or operates in accordance with a second type of authentication protocol in which an authentication is performed by the access point, and make a diagnosis of a wireless connection state of the wireless communication device based on a determination result of the first determination process so as to create a diagnosis result. In a case where the wireless connection state is a connection error state, the diagnosis result may include at least one of a reason by which the connection error state has occurred and a countermeasure for resolving the connection error state. The wireless communication device may output the diagnosis result outside.

主权项 1. A wireless communication device configured to be wirelessly connected with an access point, the wireless communication device comprising: a control device; and a machine-readable memory having instructions stored therein, the instructions, when executed by the control device, control the wireless communication device to function as: an obtaining unit configured to obtain specific information from the access point;a determination unit configured to perform, by utilizing the specific information, a first determination process of determining whether the access point operates in accordance with an enterprise type of authentication protocol in which an authentication is performed by an authentication server or operates in accordance with a personal type of authentication protocol in which an authentication is performed by the access point;a diagnosis unit configured to make a diagnosis of a wireless connection state of the wireless communication device based on a determination result of the first determination process so as to create a diagnosis result, wherein in a case where the wireless connection state is a connection error state, the diagnosis result includes at least one of a reason by which the connection error state has occurred and a procedure for resolving the connection error state to achieve a wireless connection with the access point, wherein the diagnosis unit is configured to make the diagnosis in accordance with a first diagnosis method in a case where a determination is made in the first determination process that the access point operates in accordance with the enterprise type of authentication protocol, the first diagnosis method includes a diagnosis relating to an EAP authentication method and a diagnosis relating to an inner authentication method, andwherein the diagnosis unit is configured to make the diagnosis in accordance with a second diagnosis method which is different from the first diagnosis method in a case where a determination is made in the first determination process that the access point operates in accordance with the person type of authentication protocol, the second diagnosis method does not include the diagnosis relating to the EAP authentication method and the diagnosis relating to the inner authentication method, and includes a diagnosis relating to whether a personal type of wireless setting information is currently set in the wireless communication device, the personal type of wireless setting information being information for causing the wireless communication device to operate in accordance with the personal type of authentication protocol; andan outputting unit configured to output the diagnosis result external to the control device as at least one of: causing an internal printing unit of the wireless communication device to print the diagnosis result,causing an external printing unit relative to the wireless communication device to print the diagnosis result,causing an internal display unit of the wireless communication device to display the diagnosis result, andcausing an external display unit relative to the wireless communication device to display the diagnosis result.
