Communication Device
First Claim
1. A communication device capable of selectively operating in one of a plurality of states including a parent station state in which the communication device functions as a parent station of a wireless network, a child station state in which the communication device functions as a child station of the wireless network and a device state different from the parent station state and the child station state, and capable of executing a specific wireless communication via the wireless network by operating in either the parent station state or the child station state in the wireless network, the communication device comprising:
- a first type of interface for executing a wireless communication with a mobile device;
a second type of interface for executing a wireless communication with the mobile device;
one or more processors; and
a memory that stores computer-readable instructions therein, the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, causing the communication device to execute;
(A) executing the specific wireless communication of object data via a first wireless network with the mobile device using the second type of interface after executing a specific process of sending to the mobile device a first wireless setting for causing the mobile device to belong to the first wireless network using the first type of interface in a first case where the communication device operates in a first state which is the parent station state or the child station state in the first wireless network; and
(B) executing the specific wireless communication of the object data with the mobile device using the second type of interface after executing another process different from the specific process in a second case where the communication device operates in a second state which is different from the first state.

Abstract
A communication device may execute a specific wireless communication of object data via a first wireless network with a mobile device using a second type of interface after executing a specific process of sending a first wireless setting for causing the mobile device to belong to the first wireless network using a first type of interface in a first case where the communication device operates in a first state which is a parent station state or a child station state in the first wireless network and execute the specific wireless communication of the object data with the mobile device using the second type of interface after executing another process different from the specific process in a second case where the communication device operates in a second state which is different from the first state.
