1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a first communication unit adapted to communicate via a first network; a second communication unit adapted to communicate via a second network; a first detection unit adapted to detect a disconnection of a service providing apparatus, which provides a UPnP service on the first network, from the first network; a second detection unit adapted to detect the service providing apparatus on the second network based on communication by the second communication unit connecting to the service providing apparatus on the second network via Bluetooth; a proxy unit adapted to perform a proxy process, on the first network, for a service provided by a service providing apparatus, in a case that the first detection unit detects the disconnection of the service providing apparatus from the first network and the second detection unit detects the service providing apparatus on the second network; a memory adapted to store a program; and a processor adapted to function as at least one of the units by executing the program stored on the memory.
