Communication device, control method, and storage medium

摘要

A communication device establishes a first connection to a first other communication device, establishes, based on the first connection, a second connection to a second other communication device that is connected to the first other communication device, while the first connection has been established, and then performs direct communication with the second other communication device using the second connection. The communication device determines whether an operation mode of the first connection is a mode in which a periodic search for other networks is performed while a network has been established by the first connection. If the operation mode is the mode in which the periodic search is performed, the communication device restricts at least one of establishment of the second connection and switching of a channel in the second connection while the first connection has been established.

主权项

1. A communication device comprising:
a connection unit configured to establish a first connection to a first other communication device, establish, based on the first connection, a second connection to a second other communication device that is connected to the first other communication device, while the first connection has been established, and perform direct communication with the second other communication device using the second connection; a determination unit configured to determine whether an operation mode of the first connection is a mode in which a periodic search for another network is performed while a network has been established by the first connection; and a control unit configured to, if the operation mode of the first connection is the mode in which the periodic search is performed, control the connection unit so as to restrict at least one of establishment of the second connection and switching of a channel in the second connection, while the first connection has been established.
