COMMUNICATION METHOD, COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, DEVICE CONTROL METHOD AND DEVICE CONTROL APPARATUS

摘要

This communication method involves (S302) generating image data of an article which has undergone processing by an electric device, (S303) acquiring electric device setting information indicating the processing performed on the article, (S304) converting the acquired setting information to generate standard setting information, which is setting information of a general-purpose format, (S305) adding the generated standard setting information to the generated image data to generate combined data, and (S306) transmitting the generated combined data to a storage server. For example, in this communication method, the electric device setting information when the article underwent processing is acquired by near-range wireless communication with the electric device.
