Communication device, and control method therefor |
摘要 |
When a communication device detects another communication device operating as a providing device that provides a communication parameter and when a communication parameter has already been set between the communication device and a different communication device or when the communication device is participating in the same network as that in which the different communication device is present, the communication device transmits a session overlap notice to the detected communication device. |

1. A communication device for acting as a providing device or a receiving device and performing a communication parameter setting process, the providing device being configured to provide a communication parameter, the receiving device being configured to receive the communication parameter provided by the providing device, the communication device comprising:
a search unit configured to search for another communication device operating as a providing device, while the communication device is not set to operate as either the providing device or the receiving device; a determination unit configured to determine whether or not a communication parameter for communicating between the communication device and a first communication device has already been set; and a transmission unit configured to transmit, when the search unit detects a second communication device, which is different from the first communication device, operating as a providing device and when the determination unit determines that the communication parameter for communicating between the communication device and the first communication device has already been set, a message to the second communication device for limiting an operation of the second communication device as a providing device, wherein the message indicates that a plurality of providing devices are present. |
