Communication apparatus, method for controlling communication apparatus, and storage medium

摘要

A communication apparatus to execute a direct wireless communication includes an identification unit, a determining unit, a display unit, and a connection unit. The identification unit identifies, by performing search processing, one device as a communication partner of the direct wireless communication. The determining unit determines whether a user's instruction is needed to establish the direct wireless communication between the one identified device and the communication apparatus. The display unit displays, where a user's instruction is needed, an instruction screen allowing a user to instruct establishing the direct wireless communication. The connection unit performs, where the user has issued the instruction, connection processing to establish the direct wireless communication via the instruction screen. Where the determination unit has determined that the user's instruction is not needed, the connection unit performs the connection processing without the displaying unit displaying the instruction screen.

主权项

1. A communication apparatus which has a direct wireless communication function, the communication apparatus comprising:
a memory; a processor; an identification unit configured to identify, by executing search processing, one device as a communication partner of a wireless communication by the direct wireless communication function; a determining unit configured to determine whether a user's instruction is necessary for establishing a wireless communication between the communication apparatus and the identified device by the direct wireless communication function; a display unit configured to display, if the determining unit determines that the user's instruction is necessary, an instruction screen for a user to issue an instruction for establishing a wireless communication by the direct wireless communication function; a notification unit configured to notify, if the determining unit determines that the user's instruction is necessary, the identified device of predetermined information; and a connection unit configured to execute, if the instruction for establishing a wireless communication by the direct wireless communication function is issued by a user via the instruction screen, connection processing for establishing a wireless communication by the direct wireless communication function, wherein, if the determining unit determines that the user's instruction is not necessary, the connection unit executes the connection processing with neither displaying the instruction screen by the display unit nor notifying the identified device of the predetermined information by the notification unit, and wherein the identification unit, the determining unit, the display unit, the notification unit and the connection unit are implemented at least in part by the processor executing at least one program recorded on the memory.
