rewrite the first information in the storage area in accordance with a transition of a first apparatus state of the it forming apparatus caused by a first user input, and
rewrite the first information and the second information in the storage area in accordance with a transition of a second apparatus state of the image forming apparatus caused by a second user input, wherein the transition of the first apparatus state of the image forming apparatus is a transition from a state before a user logs in via a user interface screen to the image forming apparatus or is a transition in which the image forming apparatus is connected to a first network address, and
the transition of the second apparatus state of the image forming apparatus is a transition that occurs after the user logs in, via the user interface screen a transition in which the image forming apparatus is connected to a second network or a transition in which a connection information to a first network is deleted.
2. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein information conforming to the first apparatus state of the image forming apparatus is written for storage in the storage area.
3. The image forming apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein, in accordance with the transition of the first apparatus state, information for the user is written for storage in the storage area.
4. The image forming apparatus according to claim 3 ,
wherein, when connection information of the image forming apparatus to a network is changed in accordance with the transition of the second apparatus state, the changed connection information is written for storage in the storage area.
5. The image forming apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein, when connection information of the image forming apparatus to a network is changed in accordance with the transition of the first apparatus state or the transition of the second apparatus state, the changed connection information is written for storage in the storage area.
6. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in accordance with the transition of the first apparatus state, information for the user is written for storage in the storage area.
7. The image forming apparatus according to claim 6 ,
wherein, when connection information of the image forming apparatus to a network is changed in accordance with the transition of the first apparatus state or the transition of the second apparatus state, the changed connection information is written for storage in the storage area.
8. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein, when connection information of the image forming apparatus to a network is changed in accordance with the transition of the first apparatus state or the transition of the second apparatus state, the changed connection information is written for storage in the storage area.
9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer for an image forming apparatus to execute a process, the image forming apparatus comprising at least one proximity communication device configured to provide at least first information and second information in a storage area of the at least one proximity communication device to an external apparatus, the computer controlling the at east one proximity communication device, the process comprising:
rewriting the first information in the storage area in accordance with a transition of a first apparatus state of the image forming apparatus caused by a first user input, and
rewriting the first information and the second information in the storage area in accordance with a transition of a second apparatus state of the image forming apparatus caused by a second user input,
wherein the transition of the first apparatus state of the image forming apparatus k a transition from a state before a user logs in, via a user interface screen to the image forming apparatus or is a transition in which the image forming apparatus is connected to a first network address, and
the transition of the second apparatus state of the image forming apparatus is a transition that occurs after the user logs in via a user interface screen, a transition in which the image forming apparatus is connected to a second network or a transition in which a connection information to a first network is deleted.
10. An image forming apparatus comprising:
at least one proximity communication device configured to provide at least first information in a storage area of the at least one proximity communication device to an external apparatus; and
a controller configured to:
rewrite the first information to include function selection information for selecting a function of the image forming apparatus in the storage area in accordance with a transition of a first apparatus state of the image forming apparatus to a user logged-in state, and
rewrite the first information to include function application information for controlling a selected function in the storage area in accordance with a transition of a second apparatus state of the image forming apparatus to a state in which the image forming apparatus performs the selected function;
wherein the transition of the first apparatus state of the image forming apparatus is a transition from a state before a user logs in, via a user interface screen, to the image forming apparatus or is a transition in which the mace forming apparatus is connected to a first network address, and
the transition of the second apparatus state of the informing apparatus is a transition that occurs after the user lops in via the user interface screen a transition in which the image forming apparatus is connected to a second network, or a transition in which a connection information to a first network is deleted.
