COMMUNICATION DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD OF COMMUNICATION DEVICE, AND PROGRAM

摘要

A communication procedure for providing or receiving communication parameters can be performed by an easy operation even between devices having both a base station function and a slave station function. A communication device of the present invention determines a role of a device when performing a predetermined communication procedure for providing or receiving communication parameters, and selects operating as a base station or operating as a slave station based on the determined role. The communication device selects based on the determined role operating as a providing device or operating as a receiving device.

主权项

1. A communication device comprising:
a base station unit configured to operate as a base station; a station unit configured to operate as a station which is connected to a base station; a providing unit configured to operate as a providing device that provides a communication parameter; a receiving unit configured to operate as a receiving device that receives a communication parameter from a providing device; a setting unit configured to set a value for determining a first role operating as a base station and a providing device of a communication parameter and a second role operating as a station and a receiving device of a communication parameter; and a determination unit configured to determine that a role of the communication device is the first role or the second role based on determination processing to compare the value set using the setting unit with a value received from another communication device, wherein the setting unit is configured to set a different value based on whether the station unit operates as a station when the determination processing is performed.
