摘要

A technique for automatically activating an application corresponding to an operation that a user is attempting to perform in a communication apparatus when connecting to an information processing apparatus from the communication apparatus using a short-range wireless communication is provided. A mobile device connects to an image forming apparatus by NFC, obtains from the image forming apparatus by NFC communication connection information (handover information) for connecting to the image forming apparatus by WiFi, and performs a handover from NFC communication to WiFi communication. The mobile device receives from the image forming apparatus by WiFi communication information indicating a number of print jobs that the image forming apparatus holds, determines, based on the received information, an application to be activated from a plurality of applications that use WiFi communication after the handover, and activates the determined application.

主权项

1. A communication system comprising an information processing apparatus capable of executing a job, and a communication apparatus capable of communicating with the information processing apparatus, wherein
the information processing apparatus comprises: a first communication unit configured to perform a communication of a first communication scheme for a short-range wireless communication; and a second communication unit configured to perform a communication of a second communication scheme for a wireless communication that is of a higher speed than that of the first communication scheme, and wherein the communication apparatus comprises: an obtaining unit configured to connect to the information processing apparatus by the first communication scheme, and to obtain from the information processing apparatus by the communication of the first communication scheme connection information for connecting to the information processing apparatus by the second communication scheme; a connection unit configured to connect to the information processing apparatus by the second communication scheme based on the connection information obtained by the obtaining unit; and an activation unit configured to determine, in accordance with a number of jobs that the information processing apparatus holds, an application to be activated from a plurality of applications that use the communication of the second communication scheme by using information received from the information processing apparatus by communication of the first communication scheme or the second communication scheme, and to activate the determined application.
