主权项

1. A communication apparatus comprising:
a detection unit configured to detect a first user instruction input at the communication apparatus; a timer unit configured to measure a first elapsed time from detection of the first user instruction by the detection unit to detection of establishment of a wireless connection between the communication apparatus and another communication apparatus; a communication unit configured to receive, from said another communication apparatus, a second elapsed time from detection by said another communication apparatus of a second user instruction input at said another communication apparatus to detection of establishment of a wireless connection between the communication apparatus and said another communication apparatus; a determination unit configured to determine whether the first user instruction detected by the detection unit is prior to the second user instruction or the second user instruction is prior to the first user instruction based on the first elapsed time and the second elapsed time; and a selection unit configured to select, based on determination result of the determination unit, one of transmission and reception of data designated by a user as a process to be performed by the communication apparatus, wherein said another communication apparatus selects another of the transmission and reception of the data as a process to be performed by said another communication apparatus.
