COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

A communication apparatus participates in a first wireless network and if the communication apparatus is performing data communication with a communication partner, the communication apparatus will not search for other wireless networks and/or switch to another wireless network. If no data communication with a communication partner is occurring, the communication apparatus can search for other wireless networks and switch to a detected wireless network.

主权项

1. A communication apparatus comprising:
a detection unit configured to detect a second wireless network during participation in a first wireless network; a determination unit configured to, in a case where the detection unit detects the second wireless network, determine whether data communication with a specified communication partner is performed in the first wireless network; and a switching unit configured to, in a case where the determination unit determines that data communication with a specified communication partner is performed, not switch a wireless network to join the second wireless network from the first wireless network, and configured to, in a case where the determination unit determines that data communication with a specified communication partner is not performed, switch the wireless network to join the second wireless network from the first wireless network, wherein a priority of the second wireless network set by a second master apparatus of the second wireless network is higher than a priority of the first wireless network set by a first master apparatus of the first wireless network.
