Communication apparatus that communicate in different security levels and computer-readable media for controlling such apparatus

A communication apparatus comprising:na memory storing computer readable instructions; anda processor configured to execute the computer readable instructions, wherein the computer readable instructions cause the processor to implement processes comprising:nreceiving a first data request transmitted through a first security level communication;receiving a second data request transmitted through a second security level communication, the second security level being more secure than the first security level;determining, when receiving a specific data request requesting specific data, whether the specific data request is the first data request or the second data request;transmitting the specific data to an apparatus that is a transmission source of the specific data request, when the specific data request is the second data request;transmitting different data to the apparatus that is the transmission source when the specific data request is the first data request,wherein the different data differs from the specific data,wherein the different data comprises display information for causing the apparatus that is the transmission source to retransmit the specific data request through the second security level communication, andwherein the display information includes a link item to retransmit the specific data request through the second security level communication and a message prompting selection of the link item;nstoring an electronic certificate in a certificate storage region, wherein the second security level communication comprises a protocol allowing communication to be established through a connection procedure using the electronic certificate;transmitting the specific data through the communication established through the connection procedure using the electronic certificate; andupdating the generated electronic certificate, when a period before expiration of the generated electronic certificate is less than a predetermined period.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-readable instructions for a processor of a communication apparatus, the computer-readable instructions instructing the processor to perform the steps of:nreceiving a first data request transmitted through a first security level communication;receiving a second data request transmitted through a second security level communication, the second security level being more secure than the first security level;determining whether the specific data request is the first data request or the second data request, when receiving a specific data request requesting specific data;transmitting the specific data to an apparatus that is a transmission source of the specific data request, when the specific data request is the second data request;transmitting different data to the apparatus that is the transmission source, when the specific data request is the first data request,wherein the different data differs from the specific data,wherein the different data contains display information for causing the apparatus that is the transmission source to retransmit the specific data request through the second security level communication, andwherein the display information includes a link item to retransmit the specific data request through the second security level communication and a message prompting selection of the link item;storing an electronic certificate in a certificate storage region, wherein the second security level communication comprises a protocol allowing communication to be established through a connection procedure using the electronic certificate;transmitting the specific data through the communication established through the connection procedure using the electronic certificate; andupdating the generated electronic certificate, when a period before expiration of the generated electronic certificate is less than a predetermined period.

A system comprising:na printer;a client terminal; anda server,wherein the client terminal comprises:na display;a first interface; anda first processor coupled to the display and the first interface;wherein the printer comprises:na printing device configured to perform printing in accordance with a received print job;a web server;a second interface;a memory storing specific data including account information and warning data including a message and a link item, wherein the message includes a particular text to urge selection of the link item, and wherein the link item indicates a location of the specific data and includes a command for transmitting, in a secured communication protocol, a particular request for accessing the specific data including account information; anda second processor, coupled to the second interface and the memory,wherein the server comprises:na third interface;a third processor coupled to the third interface;wherein the first processor is configured to:ntransmit, to the web server of the printer through the first interface, the particular request for accessing the specific data;wherein the second processor is configured to:nreceive, from the client terminal through the second interface, the particular request;determine whether the particular request is transmitted through a first security level communication or a second security level communication, the second security level communication being more secure than the first security level communication;generate a first response to the particular request when the particular request is transmitted through the first security level communication, wherein the first response includes the warning data described in HTML format and is transmitted to the client terminal through the first security level communication, the warning data including the message and the link item;generate a second response to the particular request when the particular request is transmitted through the second security level communication, wherein the second response includes the specific data described in HTML format and is transmitted to the client terminal through the second security level communication;wherein the first processor is further configured to:nreceive the first response from the printer through the first security level communication;control the display to display the warning data including the message and the link item in HTML format;transmit a command including the particular request for accessing the specific data in accordance with the location of the specific data, in response to selection of the link item;receive the second response including the specific data through the second security level communication;control the display to display the specific data in HTML format;transmit the specific data to the server through the second security level communication;transmit a print job to the server through the second security level communication, the print job including the specific data and a destination information assigned to the printer;wherein the second processor is further configured to:ntransmit a printing request to the server through the second security level communication, the printing request including a request for transmitting the print job to the printer and the specific data in association with the print job;wherein the third processor is configured to:nreceive the specific data from the client terminal through the second security level communication;store the received specific data in a memory of the server;receive the print job transmitted from the client terminal through the second security level communication;receive the printing request from the printer through the second security level communication, the printing request including the specific data stored in the memory of the printer;transmit the print job to the printer through the second security level communication based on the destination information included in the received print job when the received specific data included in the printing request is identical to the specific data stored in the memory of the server,wherein the second processor is further configured to:nreceive the print job transmitted from the server through the second security level communication; andcontrol the printing device to print an image based on the received print job.
