Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising: a first communication unit configured to communicate with a first communication apparatus, wherein, in response to the first communication unit transmitting an information processing apparatus identification (ID) of the information processing apparatus to the first communication apparatus in response to a user bringing the first communication apparatus in proximity of information processing apparatus, the first communication unit receives a first user ID, as a valid first user ID, configured to allow the information processing apparatus to be operable; a second communication unit that is different from the first communication unit and is configured to wirelessly communicate with a second wireless communication apparatus, wherein, in response the first communication unit receiving the valid first user ID allowing the information processing apparatus to be operable, the second communication unit automatically wirelessly receives plural second wireless communication apparatus IDs from second wireless communication apparatuses, of a plurality of second wireless communication apparatuses, that are located within a range in which the information processing apparatus can perform wireless communications; and a control unit configured to control the first communication unit and the second communication unit, wherein, in response the first communication unit receiving the valid first user ID allowing the information processing apparatus to be operable and the second communication unit receiving plural second wireless communication apparatus IDs, the control unit controls the first communication unit to transmit the plural second wireless communication apparatus IDs to the first communication apparatus, and wherein, in response to the first communication unit transmitting the plural second wireless communication apparatus IDs to the first communication apparatus, the information processing apparatus receives registration information having a second user ID and is configured to be used by the information processing apparatus to login a second wireless communication apparatus that was registered in the first communication apparatus prior to the first communication unit transmitting the information processing apparatus ID to the first communication apparatus, whereby, when the user of the first communication apparatus performs an operation of only bringing the first communication apparatus close to the image processing apparatus, logging into the image processing apparatus and identification of the registered second wireless communication apparatus from among a plurality of second wireless communication apparatuses is achieved such that the control unit is configured to control the second communication unit to wirelessly transmit or receive job data with the registered second communication apparatus.
