发明名称 Communication Apparatus
摘要 A communication apparatus may form a first wireless network so as to establish a wireless connection with a first external apparatus, in a case where a first wireless connection request is obtained from the first external apparatus and it is determined that a connection number has not reached an upper limit. The communication apparatus may newly form a second wireless network while maintaining a state of the first wireless network being formed, so as to establish a wireless connection with a second external apparatus, in a case where a second wireless connection request is obtained from the second external apparatus in the state of the first wireless network being formed and it is determined that the connection number has not reached the upper limit. In the first and second wireless networks, the communication apparatus may be configured to operate as a parent station.

主权项 1. A communication apparatus comprising: a processor; and a memory storing computer-readable instructions therein, the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the communication apparatus to: obtain a wireless connection request from an external apparatus; determine whether a connection number has reached an upper limit in a case where the wireless connection request is obtained from the external apparatus, the connection number being a total number of a wireless connection which has been currently established by the communication apparatus; form a first wireless network so as to establish a wireless connection with a first external apparatus, in a case where a first wireless connection request is obtained from the first external apparatus and it is determined that the connection number has not reached the upper limit, wherein in the first wireless network, the communication apparatus is configured to operate as a parent station and the first external apparatus is configured to operate as a child station; and newly form a second wireless network while maintaining a state of the first wireless network being formed, so as to establish a wireless connection with a second external apparatus which is different from the first external apparatus, in a case where a second wireless connection request is obtained from the second external apparatus in the state of the first wireless network being formed and it is determined that the connection number has not reached the upper limit, wherein in the second wireless network, the communication apparatus is configured to operate as a parent station and the second external apparatus is configured to operate as a child station.
