Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes an acceptance unit that accepts an input of setting change information of the information processing apparatus, a setting change unit that changes a setting of the information processing apparatus by using the setting change information accepted by the acceptance unit, and a transmission unit that transmits the setting change information accepted by the acceptance unit to other apparatuses through BLE communication which is a communication method in which it is not necessary to specify a communication partner in advance.

Claims (24)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising a processor, configured to:

accept an input of setting change information of the information processing apparatus;

change a setting of the information processing apparatus by using the setting change information accepted by the processor; and

transmit the setting change information accepted by the processor to other apparatuses through BLE communication which is a communication method in which it is not necessary to specify a communication partner in advance,

wherein the processor transmits the setting change information including an IP address incremented to the other apparatuses.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor transmits the setting change information to the other apparatuses by using an advertising function in the BLE communication.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where the setting change information includes a plurality of setting change items, the processor sequentially transmits the setting change information to the other apparatuses for each setting change item.

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

the processor receives information items transmitted from the other apparatuses through the BLE communication,

wherein the processor transmits the setting change information of the next setting change item to the other apparatuses after the processor receives setting change completion notifications from the other apparatuses.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor transmits the setting change information of the next setting change item to the other apparatuses in a case where a predetermined time elapses.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor transmits the setting change information to the other apparatuses after the setting change of the information processing apparatus is completed.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the processor transmits a setting change completion notification after the setting change information is transmitted to the other apparatuses.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor transmits the setting change information to the other apparatuses irrespective of whether or not the setting change of the information processing apparatus is completed.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where the setting change using the setting change information accepted by the processor is a setting change that requires rebooting in order to enable a changed setting content, the processor transmits information indicating that the rebooting is to be performed to the other apparatuses before the information processing apparatus reboots.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 ,

wherein the processor transmits the information indicating that the rebooting is to be performed to the other apparatuses after all setting changes in the information processing apparatus are ended.
