The specified operation indicates an operation specified by the user. The designated device indicates the multifunction device 10 designated by the user. The terminal program 65 can receive designation data, a designation operation, and a user operation for designating a designation device. Hereinafter, the data identification information for identifying the designated data is referred to as “designated data ID”, the operation identification information for identifying the designated operation is referred to as “designated operation ID”, and the device identification information for identifying the designated device is referred to as “designated device”. ID ".

  The data storage area 62B can store designated device information, for example, as shown in FIG. When the terminal program 65 is installed, the designated device information is not stored in the data storage area 62B. Then, the terminal program 65 causes the data storage area 62B to store the device information received from the MFP 10 in Steps S24 and S35 described later as designated device information. The designated device information is device information received from the designated device. The designated device information according to the present embodiment includes a device ID, connection information, and capability information.

  The device ID is device identification information for identifying the designated device. In the present embodiment, the MFP 10A is identified by the device ID “MFP-A”, and the MFP 10B is identified by the device ID “MFP-B”. The connection information is information for communicating with the designated device via the Wi-Fi communication I / F 56. In the present embodiment, an IP address will be described as an example of the connection information. However, a specific example of the connection information is not limited thereto, and may be a subnet mask, a MAC address, an SSID, or a combination thereof.

  The capability information is information indicating the capability of the MFP 10. More specifically, the capability information is information indicating a list of execution conditions that can be specified when executing the print operation. The capability information includes, for example, paper feed tray information, paper discharge tray information, and color information, as shown in FIG. The paper feed tray information is information for specifying a paper feed tray of a sheet on which an image is recorded in a print operation. The discharge tray information is information for specifying a tray to which a sheet on which an image is recorded in a print operation is discharged. The color information is information for indicating a color (for example, “monochrome” or “color”) used for the printing operation.

  In the capability information shown in FIG. 3A, one of “Tray 1” and “Tray 2” can be designated as the sheet feed source as the execution condition of the print operation to be executed by the multifunction peripheral 10A. This indicates that only “Tray 1” can be specified as the paper discharge destination, and one of “Monochrome” and “Color” can be specified as the color used for the printing operation. That is, the printer 11 of the multifunction peripheral 10A is a color printer including two paper feed trays and one paper output tray. Although illustration of the capability information of the multifunction peripheral 10B is omitted, it may be the same as or different from that of the multifunction peripheral 10A.

  The paper feed tray information, the paper discharge tray information, and the color information are examples of items included in the execution conditions. However, specific examples of the items included in the execution conditions are not limited to these. The execution conditions corresponding to the scanning operation include, for example, resolution information indicating a reading resolution, color information indicating a reading color, format information indicating a format of generated image data (eg, “JPEG”, “TIFF”, etc.), and the like. Items may be included. The execution conditions corresponding to the fax transmission operation include, for example, acquisition source information indicating an acquisition source (for example, “scanner”, “storage”, etc.) of image data to be transmitted by fax, and transmission destination information (for identifying a device of a fax transmission destination) ( For example, items such as a telephone number) may be included.

  Further, the data storage area 62B can store first condition information, for example, as shown in FIG. The first condition information is information for indicating an execution condition of a printing operation to be executed by the designated device. For example, the first condition information is not stored in the data storage area 62B when the terminal program 65 is installed, but is stored in the data storage area 62B in step S47 when the designated device information is stored in association with the designated device information. The initialization is performed in steps S24 and S35.

  Further, the data storage area 62B can store second condition information, for example, as shown in FIG. The second condition information is information for indicating an execution condition of a printing operation to be executed by the device specified through the NFC communication I / F 55. The second condition information is stored in the data storage area 62B when the terminal program 65 is installed, for example, and can be changed in step S47 when the designated device information is not stored.

  Further, a data folder may be provided in the data storage area 62B. The data folder may store, for example, photo data, document data, presentation data, spreadsheet data, and the like. The various data stored in the data folder is data that can be designated data.

  In this specification, a device that can communicate according to a procedure compliant with the NFC standard is referred to as “NFC device”, and communication performed according to a procedure compliant with the NFC standard is referred to as “NFC communication”. That is, the multifunction peripheral 10 and the portable terminal 50 are examples of an NFC device. The multifunction peripheral 10 and the portable terminal 50 operate in one of a P2P (Peer to Peer) mode, a Reader mode, a Writer mode, and a CE (Card Emulation) mode. In this specification, the Reader mode and the Writer mode may be collectively referred to as “R / W mode”.

  The P2P mode is a mode for executing bidirectional communication between a pair of NFC devices. The R / W mode and the CE mode are modes for executing one-way communication between a pair of NFC devices. The Reader mode is a mode for reading information and the like from the NFC device operating in the CE mode. The Writer mode is a mode for writing various information to an NFC device operating in the CE mode.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the MFP 10 operates in the CE mode and the mobile terminal 50 operates in the R / W mode will be mainly described. That is, the mobile terminal 50 operating in the R / W mode can read information and the like from the multifunction peripheral 10 operating in the CE mode and write information and the like to the multifunction peripheral 10. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the multifunction peripheral 10 may operate in the R / W mode, the mobile terminal 50 may operate in the CE mode, or both the multifunction peripheral 10 and the mobile terminal 50 may operate in the P2P mode. It may operate in mode.

  The NFC communication I / F 55 of the mobile terminal 50 according to the present embodiment executes a Poll operation. The Poll operation is an operation of repeatedly outputting a polling signal at predetermined time intervals and monitoring a response signal which is a response to the polling signal. On the other hand, the NFC communication I / F 25 of the MFP 10 according to the present embodiment executes a Listen operation. The Listen operation is an operation of monitoring a polling signal and outputting a response signal on condition that the polling signal is received.

  The NFC communication I / F 25 of the multifunction device 10 receives the polling signal output by the NFC communication I / F 55 of the multifunction device 10 and the NFC communication I / F The NFC communication I / F 55 of the portable terminal 50 receives the response signal output by F25. As a result, an NFC communication link (hereinafter, referred to as an “NFC link”) is established between the MFP 10 and the portable terminal 50 by a predetermined procedure according to the NFC standard. Thereafter, the MFP 10 and the portable terminal 50 transmit and receive information and the like through the NFC link.

[Operation of System 100]
The operation of the system 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. At the start of the processing shown in FIG. 4, the NFC communication I / F 25 of the MFP 10 has already performed the Listen operation, and the NFC communication I / F 55 of the portable terminal 50 has performed the Poll operation. And It is also assumed that the designated device information is not stored in the data storage area 62B of the portable terminal 50 at the start of the processing shown in FIG.

  The flowchart in this specification basically shows the processing of the CPUs 31 and 61 according to the instructions described in the program. That is, processes such as “determination”, “extraction”, “selection”, and “control” in the following description represent processes of the CPUs 31 and 61. The processing by the CPU 61 also includes hardware control via the OS 64. Further, “data” in this specification is represented by a bit string that can be read by a computer. Data having substantially the same meaning but different formats is treated as the same data. The same applies to “information” in the present specification.

[Main processing]
The terminal program 65 of the mobile terminal 50 executes the main processing shown in FIG. 4A in response to being activated by the user. First, the terminal program 65 causes the display 53 to display the main screen shown in FIG. 7A (S11). The main screen includes operation icons 111, 112, 113, 114, a status icon 115, and a switching icon 116. Then, the terminal program 65 receives a user operation on the main screen through the input I / F 54 (S12).

  The operation icon 111 corresponds to a print operation, the operation icon 112 corresponds to a scan operation, the operation icon 113 corresponds to a copy operation, and the operation icon 114 corresponds to a FAX transmission operation and a FAX reception operation. The status icon 115 corresponds to an instruction to display a status screen indicating the state of the designated device. The details of the status screen will not be described. The switching icon 116 corresponds to an instruction to switch the designated device. In addition, the switching icon 116 shown in FIG. 7A describes a character string of “unselected” indicating that the designated device is not designated at the present time.

  The terminal program 65 waits while displaying the main screen until a user operation on the main screen is received through the input I / F 54. The terminal program 65 executes device selection processing, for example, in response to receiving designation of the switching icon 116 through the input I / F 54 (S12: switching icon) (S13). The details of the device selection process will be described with reference to FIG.

[Device selection process]
First, the terminal program 65 searches for a plurality of MFPs 10 capable of wireless communication through the Wi-Fi communication I / F 56 using, for example, SNMP (abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol) (S21). Specifically, the terminal program 65 broadcasts transmission request information to the communication network 101 through the Wi-Fi communication I / F 56. Next, the terminal program 65 receives the device information transmitted by the MFPs 10A and 10B as a response to the transmission request information through the Wi-Fi communication I / F 56. That is, the terminal program 65 specifies the multifunction peripherals 10A and 10B that are the transmission sources of the device information as the multifunction peripherals 10 capable of wireless communication. The method of searching for the MFP 10 capable of wireless communication may be another known method.

  Next, the terminal program 65 causes the display 53 to display the device selection screen shown in FIG. 7B (S22). The device selection screen includes a message “Tap the icon or hold it over the device.” And device icons 121 and 122. The device icons 121 and 122 correspond to the MFPs 10A and 10B specified in step S21. The device icons 121 and 122 describe the device IDs of the corresponding MFPs 10A and 10B. Next, the terminal program 65 waits while displaying the device selection screen until a user operation on the device selection screen is accepted or a response signal is received through the NFC communication I / F 55.

  Although illustration is omitted, the device selection screen is divided into a first screen for displaying a list of the device icons 121 and 122 and a second screen for urging the user to hold the portable terminal 50 over a device whose output operation is to be executed. Is also good. The device selection screen may include an icon corresponding to an instruction to switch from one of the first screen and the second screen to the other.

  Next, in response to, for example, receiving the designation of the device icon 122 through the input I / F 54 (S23: device icon), the terminal program 65 designates the device information received from the MFP 10B corresponding to the device icon 122. It is stored in the data storage area 62B as device information (S24). When the designated device information is already stored in the data storage area 62B, the terminal program 65 overwrites the designated device information with new designated device information. The user operation of designating the device icon 122 is an example of a designation operation of designating the MFP 10B as a designated device.

  On the other hand, the terminal program 65 receives a response signal from the multifunction peripheral 10A through the NFC communication I / F 55 that is executing the Poll operation, for example, when the user brings the portable terminal 50 close to the multifunction peripheral 10A (S23: Hold it up). Then, the terminal program 65 establishes an NFC link with the multifunction peripheral 10A that is the source of the response signal. Then, the terminal program 65 specifies the multifunction peripheral 10A in which the NFC link has been established as the designated device. This process is an example of a specific process. Receiving a response signal from the multifunction peripheral 10A or establishing an NFC link with the multifunction peripheral 10A is an example of a short-range wireless connection between the NFC communication I / F 55 and the multifunction peripheral 10A. The operation of the user holding the mobile terminal 50 over the multifunction peripheral 10A is an example of a specification operation for specifying the multifunction peripheral 10A as a specified device.

[Device switching process]
Next, the terminal program 65 executes the device switching process in response to specifying the multifunction peripheral 10A with the NFC link established as the designated device (S23: holding the device over) (S25). The device switching process is a process of receiving device information from the multifunction peripheral 10A connected by short-range wireless communication, and storing the received device information in the data storage area 62B as designated device information. The details of the device switching process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the terminal program 65 receives device information from the multifunction peripheral 10A (S31). As an example, the terminal program 65 may receive the device information from the multifunction peripheral 10A via the NFC communication I / F 55 in which the NFC link has been established. As another example, the terminal program 65 may receive connection information necessary for Wi-Fi direct connection from the multifunction peripheral 10A via the NFC communication I / F 55 in which the NFC link is established. Then, the terminal program 65 makes a Wi-Fi direct connection with the multifunction peripheral 10A using the received connection information, and receives device information from the multifunction peripheral 10A through the Wi-Fi communication I / F 56 connected to the Wi-Fi direct connection. Is also good. The process in step S31 is an example of a reception process.

  Next, the terminal program 65 determines whether or not indirect wireless communication is possible between the multifunction peripheral 10A and the portable terminal 50 (S32). In other words, the terminal program 65 determines whether the multifunction peripheral 10A and the portable terminal 50 are connected to the same communication network 101. If the terminal program 65 determines whether the network address is common to the IP address included in the device information received in step S31 and the IP address set in the Wi-Fi communication I / F 56, for example, Good. The process in step S32 is an example of a second determination process.

  Next, the terminal program 65 displays an error screen (not shown) on the display 53 in response to determining that the multifunction peripheral 10A and the portable terminal 50 are not connected to the same communication network 101 (S32: No). (S33). The error screen includes, for example, a message such as “The multifunction peripheral 10A cannot be specified as the specified device.”

  On the other hand, the terminal program 65 responds to the determination that the multifunction peripheral 10A and the portable terminal 50 are connected to the same communication network 101 (S32: Yes). It is determined whether the designated device information is already stored in the data storage area 62B (S34). Then, in response to determining that the designated device information is not yet stored in the data storage area 62B (S34: No), the terminal program 65 uses the device information received in step S31 as the designated device information as the data storage area. 62B (S35). The process of step S34 is an example of a third determination process, and the process of step S35 is an example of a first storage process.

  On the other hand, in response to determining that the designated device information has already been stored in the data storage area 62B (S34: Yes), the terminal program 65 displays the switching confirmation screen shown in FIG. (S36). The switching confirmation screen includes a message of “Do you want to switch the designated device? / Current device: MFP-B / New device: MFP-A”, a [YES] icon 131, and a [NO] icon 132.

  Next, in response to receiving one of the operation icons 111 to 114 included in the main screen through the input I / F 54 (S12: operation icon), the terminal program 65 executes an operation corresponding to the specified operation icon. The ID is temporarily stored in the data storage area 62B as the specified operation ID, and an execution instruction process corresponding to the specified operation icon is executed (S14). The user operation for designating the action icon is an example of a user operation for designating the designated action. Hereinafter, the print instruction process shown in FIG. 6 will be described as an example of the execution instruction process corresponding to the operation icon 111.

[Print instruction processing]
First, the terminal program 65 causes the display 53 to display the data selection screen shown in FIG. 8B (S41). The data selection screen includes a plurality of data icons 141, 142, 143. The data icons 141 to 143 correspond to, for example, various data stored in a data folder or various data stored in a server (not shown) on the Internet. Then, the terminal program 65 receives a user operation on the data selection screen through the input I / F 54 (S42).

  The terminal program 65 waits while displaying the data selection screen until a user operation on the data selection screen is received through the input I / F 54 (S42: No). Then, in response to, for example, receiving the designation of the data icon 141 through the input I / F 54 (S42: Yes), the terminal program 65 determines the data “photograph.JPEG” corresponding to the data icon 141 as the designated data. That is, the terminal program 65 temporarily stores the data ID “photograph.JPEG” corresponding to the specified data icon 141 in the data storage area 62B as the specified data ID. The user operation of designating the data icon 141 is an example of a user operation of designating designated data. The process in step S42 is an example of a first reception process.

  Next, the terminal program 65 determines whether or not the designated device information is stored in the data storage area 62B (S43). Then, in response to determining that the designated device information is stored in the data storage area 62B (S43: Yes), the terminal program 65 displays the preview screen shown in FIG. 9A on the display 53 (S43). S44). On the other hand, when the terminal program 65 determines that the designated device information is not stored in the data storage area 62B (S43: No), the terminal program 65 displays the preview screen shown in FIG. S45). The process of step S43 is an example of a first determination process, the process of step S44 is an example of a preview process, and the process of step S45 is an example of a reception restriction process.

  The preview screen includes a message, a preview image 151, a “setting” icon 152, and a “print” icon 153. The preview image 151 is an image showing the execution result of the specified operation on the specified data. That is, the preview image 151 according to the present embodiment is an image obtained by recording an image represented by data “photograph. JPEG” on a sheet. [Setting] icon 152 corresponds to an instruction to designate or change condition information. [Print] icon 153 corresponds to an instruction to cause the designated device to execute a print operation.

  The preview screen shown in FIG. 9A includes a message “Tap the icon or hold it over the device.” And an activated [Print] icon 153. On the other hand, the preview screen shown in FIG. 9B includes a message “Hold over device” and an invalidated [Print] icon 153. The activated [print] icon 153 indicates, for example, a state in which the associated processing is executed in response to designation through the input I / F 54. On the other hand, the invalidated [Print] icon 153 indicates a state where the associated processing is not executed even if the icon is specified through the input I / F 54, for example. In the example of FIG. 9B, the [Print] icon 153 is grayed out, but the [Print] icon 153 may be hidden.

  Next, the terminal program 65 waits while displaying the preview selection screen until a user operation on the preview screen is received through the input I / F 54 or a response signal is received through the NFC communication I / F 55. Next, the terminal program 65 displays the setting screen shown in FIG. 10 on the display 53 in response to receiving the designation of the [setting] icon through the input I / F 54 (S46: setting icon). Then, the terminal program 65 receives a user operation on the setting screen through the input I / F 54.

  FIG. 10A is an example of a setting screen when the designated device information is not stored in the data storage area 62B, and includes a plurality of radio buttons 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, and [OK]. Icon 168. The radio button 161 corresponds to the paper feed tray information “Tray 1”, the radio button 162 corresponds to the paper feed tray information “Tray 2”, the radio button 163 corresponds to the paper discharge tray information “Tray 1”, and the radio button 164 corresponds to the discharge tray information “Tray 2”, the radio button 165 corresponds to the color information “monochrome”, and the radio button 166 corresponds to the color information “color”. [Enter] icon 168 corresponds to an instruction to determine condition information.

  The terminal program 65 waits while displaying the setting screen until a user operation for designating the [OK] icon 168 is accepted through the input I / F 54. The terminal program 65 indicates the execution conditions corresponding to the checked radio buttons 161 to 166 in response to receiving the designation of the [OK] icon 168 shown in FIG. 10A through the input I / F 54. The second condition information is stored in the data storage area 62B (S47). That is, when the [OK] icon 168 is designated in the state of FIG. 10A, as shown in FIG. 3C, the sheet feed tray information “tray 1”, the discharge tray information “tray 1”, The second condition information including the color information “monochrome” is stored in the data storage area 62B.

  On the other hand, FIG. 10B is an example of a setting screen when the designated device information shown in FIG. 3A is stored in the data storage area 62B, and in that the radio button 164 is not included. This is different from FIG. 10A, and is otherwise the same as FIG. 10A. Radio buttons 161, 162, 163, 165, and 166 shown in FIG. 10B correspond to execution conditions indicated by the capability information included in the designated device information. That is, the terminal program 65 can accept a user operation for designating an execution condition within the range of the capability information of the designated device through the setting screen shown in FIG. This process is an example of a third reception process.

  The terminal program 65 indicates the execution conditions corresponding to the checked radio buttons 161 to 166 in response to receiving the designation of the [OK] icon 168 shown in FIG. 10B through the input I / F 54. The first condition information is stored in the data storage area 62B (S47). The process in step S47 is an example of a third storage process. That is, when the [OK] icon 168 is designated in the state of FIG. 10B, as shown in FIG. 3B, the sheet feed tray information “tray 2”, the discharge tray information “tray 1”, First condition information including the color information “color” is stored in the data storage area 62B.

  Next, the terminal program 65 executes the processing after step S43 again. Then, in response to receiving the designation of the activated [Print] icon 153 through the input I / F 54 (S46: Print icon), the terminal program 65 sends the Wi-Fi communication I / O to the multifunction peripheral 10A as the designated device. The print instruction information is transmitted via / F56 (S48). On the other hand, even if the terminal program 65 receives the specification of the invalidated [Print] icon 153 through the input I / F 54, the terminal program 65 does not execute the process of step S48. The user operation of designating the [Print] icon 153 is an example of an instruction operation. The process of receiving the designation of the [Print] icon 153 is an example of a second reception process, and the process of step S48 is an example of a first output instruction process.

  For example, in step S48, the terminal program 65 sends print instruction information, which is an example of output instruction information, to the multifunction peripheral 10A, which is the designated device, by indirect wireless communication or direct wireless communication using the connection information included in the designated device information. Send. The print instruction information transmitted in step S48 is information for causing a print operation for the designated data to be executed according to the execution condition indicated by the first condition information. The print instruction information includes, for example, the specified data specified in step S42 and the first condition information stored in the data storage area 62B. Further, when the first condition information is not stored in the data storage area 62B, the terminal program 65 may include the second condition information stored in the data storage area 62B in the print instruction information.

  On the other hand, the terminal program 65 receives a response signal from the multifunction peripheral 10A through the NFC communication I / F 55 that is executing the Poll operation, for example, when the user brings the portable terminal 50 close to the multifunction peripheral 10A (S46: Hold it up). Then, the terminal program 65 establishes an NFC link with the multifunction peripheral 10A that is the source of the response signal. During the display of the preview screen, in other words, when the designated data is designated, the user's operation of holding the portable terminal 50 over the multifunction peripheral 10A includes a designation operation of designating the multifunction peripheral 10A as a designated device and a multifunction peripheral 10A. Is an example of an instruction operation for instructing a print operation to be performed.

  Next, the terminal program 65 receives connection information necessary for Wi-Fi direct connection with the multifunction peripheral 10A from the multifunction peripheral 10A through the established NFC link. Next, the terminal program 65 makes a Wi-Fi direct connection with the MFP 10A using the received connection information (S49). Then, the terminal program 65 transmits the print instruction information to the MFP 10A via the Wi-Fi communication I / F 56 connected to the Wi-Fi direct connection (S50). The process in step S50 is an example of a second output instruction process.

  The print instruction information transmitted in step S50 is information for executing a print operation for the designated data according to the execution condition indicated by the second condition information. The print instruction information includes, for example, the specified data specified in step S42 and the second condition information stored in the data storage area 62B. In step S49, the terminal program 65 may receive connection information necessary for performing indirect wireless communication with the multifunction peripheral 10A from the multifunction peripheral 10A via the established NFC link. Then, the terminal program 65 may transmit the print instruction information to the multifunction peripheral 10A by indirect wireless communication.

  Further, the terminal program 65 specifies the multifunction peripheral 10A in which the NFC link has been established as the designated device. This process is an example of a specific process. Then, the terminal program 65 executes a device switching process (S51). Since the details of the device switching process have already been described, the description will not be repeated. That is, the device information of the MFP 10A with which the NFC link is established is stored in the data storage area 62B as the designated device information.

  On the other hand, although not shown, the device program 35 of the multifunction peripheral 10A receives print instruction information from the portable terminal 50 through the Wi-Fi communication I / F 26. Then, the device program 35 causes the printer 11 to execute a print operation according to the received print instruction information. That is, the printer 11 records an image indicated by the designated data included in the print instruction information on a sheet according to the execution condition indicated by the condition information included in the print instruction information.

[Operation and Effect of Embodiment]

Is stored in the data storage area 62B as designated device information. The [Print] icon 153 is invalidated when the designated device information is not stored in the data storage area 62B, and is activated when the designated device information is stored in the data storage area 62B. Then, in response to the activated [Print] icon 153 being designated, the print instruction information is transmitted to the multifunction peripheral 10A by indirect wireless communication.

  More specifically, indirect wireless communication via an access point or the like, for example, if the MFP 10A and the portable terminal 50 are connected to the same LAN, regardless of the distance between the MFP 10A and the portable terminal 50, Communication is possible. That is, the user of the portable terminal 50 holds the portable terminal 50 once over the MFP 10A for which the user wants to execute the print operation, and then executes the print operation even at a place away from the MFP 10A. Can be instructed. As a result, it is not necessary to go to the side of the multifunction peripheral 10A each time the execution of the print operation is repeatedly instructed, so that the convenience for the user is improved.

  Further, according to the above embodiment, the display mode of the [Print] icon 153 is changed depending on whether or not the designated device information is stored in the data storage area 62B. This allows the user to recognize through the preview screen whether or not the designated device has been designated. Further, when the portable terminal 50 is held over the multifunction peripheral 10A while the preview screen is being displayed, the print instruction information is transmitted to the multifunction peripheral 10A. That is, when the designated device is not designated, or when it is desired to execute the printing operation on an image output device different from the designated device, the printing operation can be executed by a simple operation.

  Further, according to the above-described embodiment, in response to the designation of the [Print] icon 153, the MFP 10A can execute the printing operation according to the first condition information associated with the designated device information. it can.

As a result, the first condition information is generated within the range of the capability of the multifunction peripheral 10A, so that the multifunction peripheral 10A can execute the print operation under appropriate execution conditions. On the other hand, radio buttons corresponding to predetermined execution conditions are displayed on the setting screen shown in FIG. 10A regardless of the capability of the designated device.

  Further, according to the above-described embodiment, whether or not the multifunction peripheral 10A and the portable terminal 50 are connected to the same communication network 101 is checked before step S35. Thus, in step S48 executed later, the print instruction information can be reliably transmitted even from a place remote from the multifunction peripheral 10A. Further, when the designated device information is already stored in the data storage area 62B, the user is inquired whether to overwrite the designated device information. As a result, it is possible to prevent the designated device information from being overwritten against the user's intention.

  Further, in the multifunction peripheral 10 and the portable terminal 50 of the above-described embodiment, the various programs stored in the program storage areas 32A and 62A of the memories 32 and 62 are executed by the CPUs 31 and 61, so that the control unit of the present invention The example in which each processing to be executed is realized has been described. However, the configuration of the control unit is not limited to this, and part or all of the control unit may be realized by hardware such as an integrated circuit.
