COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

A communication apparatus acquires information about a communication-parameter setting process from a different communication apparatus and determines whether the acquired information includes identification information for identifying the different communication apparatus. If it is determined that the identification information is included, an authentication request is transmitted by unicast based on the identification information. If it is determined that the identification information is not included, the authentication request is transmitted by broadcast.

主权项

1. A communication apparatus comprising:
an acquiring unit configured to acquire, from a different communication apparatus, information about a communication-parameter setting process; a determination unit configured to determine whether the acquired information includes identification information for identifying the different communication apparatus; and a transmitting unit configured to, when an authentication request used in an authentication process performed in the communication-parameter setting process is to be transmitted, if the determination unit determines that the identification information is included, transmit the authentication request by unicast based on the identification information and by broadcast if the determination unit determines that the identification information is not included.
