Abstract:
A system and method for providing an authentication state of a function execution device to a communication terminal is described. In some examples, the authentication state indicates whether authentication information is needed from the communication terminal before the communication terminal can request performance of one or more functions performable by the function execution device. In other examples, the communication terminal may provide to the communication terminal the authentication information irrespective of whether the function execution terminal has previously provided its authentication state to the communication terminal.

Claim (Index 1):
A function execution device comprising:\n a function execution portion configured to execute one or more of a plurality of functions, the function execution device including authentication state information; an NFC-compatible interface configured to perform wireless communication with a communication terminal using an NFC-compatible communication protocol, the NFC-compatible interface configured to transmit network information and the authentication state information to the communication terminal; a Wi-Fi-compatible interface configured to perform wireless communication over a Wi-Fi-compatible network with the communication terminal using a Wi-Fi-compatible communication protocol, where the Wi-Fi-compatible network is accessible by the communication terminal using the network information communicated via the NFC-compatible interface; a processor; and a memory storing computer-readable instructions therein, the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the function execution device to perform:\n receiving, via the Wi-Fi-compatible interface, authentication information from the communication terminal over the Wi-Fi-compatible network when both the function execution device and the communication terminal are joined to the Wi-Fi-compatible network; \n transmitting the authentication information to another device; \n receiving confirmation that the communication terminal is authorized; and \n controlling the function execution portion to execute a function of the one or more of the plurality of functions requested by the communication terminal, the controlling the execution of the function based on the received confirmation.
