Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes: a plurality of communication units configured to communicate with another device; and a controller configured to control execution of a coordinated function when the communication unit performs communication with the another device in accordance with a specific communication standard, wherein the coordinated function is executable with the another device and the information processing apparatus.

Claims (39)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a plurality of communication chips configured to communicate with another device; and

a controller configured to control execution of a coordinated function when the communication chip performs communication with the another device in accordance with a specific communication standard, wherein the coordinated function is executable with the another device and the information processing apparatus,

wherein the controller is configured to change the coordinated function in accordance with a use frequency of a part of the another device,

the use frequency is the number of times of use the part of the another device as a communication device per unit time,

wherein the coordinated function is executable with the information processing apparatus and a plurality of other devices, and the controller is configured to change priority of functions of the coordinated function in accordance with an order of connection between the information processing apparatus and each of the plurality of other devices,

wherein the priority of the functions of the coordinated function corresponds to an order of the functions of the coordinated function being executed,

wherein the functions of the coordinated function comprises at least one first function and at least one second function,

wherein when the order of connection is in a first order, the priority of the at least one first function is higher than the priority of the at least one second function, and the at least one first function is executed before the at least one second function being executed, and

wherein when the order of connection is in a second order, the priority of the at least one second function is higher than the priority of the at least one first function, and the at least one second function is executed before the at least one first function being executed.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller is configured to change the coordinated function in accordance with the specific communication standard.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller is configured to control the execution of the coordinated function in accordance with the specific communication standard and positional information.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the positional information is information indicating a position of the information processing apparatus.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the coordinated function is a function that uses a plurality of communication standards.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein

the controller is configured to control the execution of the coordinated function when the information processing apparatus is placed in an environment where the plurality of communication standards are available.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein

one of the plurality of communication standards is a wired communication standard, and

the controller is further configured to control notification of the coordinated function when the wired communication with the another device is available and to control the execution of the coordinated function when an execution instruction is given by a user after the notification.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller is further configured to control notification of the coordinated function and to control the execution of the coordinated function when an execution instruction is given by a user after the notification.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein

the controller is configured to control the notification of the coordinated function when a power source of the information processing apparatus is turned on.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the coordinated function is a function that uses a part of the another device.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

when communication is established between the communication chip and a device communication chip connected to a part of the another device, the coordinated function is executable with the part of the another device.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to function as a controller that controls execution of a coordinated function when communication is performed between a terminal device and another device in accordance with a specific communication standard, wherein the terminal device includes a plurality of communication chips configured to communicate with the another device, and the coordinated function is executable with the terminal device and the another device,

wherein the controller is configured to change the coordinated function in accordance with a use frequency of a part of the another device,

the use frequency is the number of times of use the part of the another device as a communication device per unit time,

wherein the coordinated function is executable with the terminal device and a plurality of other devices, and the controller is configured to change priority of functions of the coordinated function in accordance with an order of connection between the terminal device and each of the plurality of other devices,

wherein the priority of the functions of the coordinated function corresponds to an order of the functions of the coordinated function being executed,

wherein the functions of the coordinated function comprises at least one first function and at least one second function,

wherein when the order of connection is in a first order, the priority of the at least one first function is higher than the priority of the at least one second function, and the at least one first function is executed before the at least one second function being executed, and

wherein when the order of connection is in a second order, the priority of the at least one second function is higher than the priority of the at least one first function, and the at least one second function is executed before the at least one first function being executed.
