COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

In a communication apparatus, when the communication apparatus connects to a different communication apparatus that is different from the communication apparatus using a first communication method, a request message for requesting a connection by a second communication method is received from the different communication apparatus, and where a user operation indicating that the connection by the second communication method is permitted is detected, a communication parameter for making the connection by the second communication method is transmitted to the different communication apparatus by the first communication method, and where a user operation indicating that the connection by the second communication method is permitted is not detected, the connection to the different communication apparatus by the second communication method is not made.

主权项

1. A communication apparatus comprising:
a first communication unit configured to perform wireless communication, using a first communication method, with a different communication apparatus that is different from the communication apparatus; a second communication unit configured to perform wireless communication using a second communication method that has a faster communication speed than a communication speed of the first communication method or has a longer communication distance than a communication distance of the first communication method; a detection unit configured to, in a case where the first communication unit receives a request message from the different communication apparatus for requesting a connection by the second communication unit, detect a user operation indicating that the connection by the second communication unit is permitted; and a transmission unit configured to, in a case where the detection unit detects the user operation indicating that the connection by the second communication unit is permitted, transmit from the first communication unit to the different communication apparatus a communication parameter for making a connection by the second communication unit, the communication parameter including at least one of a network identifier, an encryption method, an encryption key, an authentication method, an authentication key, a passphrase, or a media access control address, wherein in a case where the detection unit cannot detect the user operation indicating that the connection by the second communication unit is permitted, the connection to the different communication apparatus by the second communication unit is not made.
