COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

An information processing apparatus generates a beacon packet including state information indicating an operational state of the self-apparatus, and periodically transmits the packet by a short-range wireless communication. A mobile terminal, when a data packet transmission request to the information processing apparatus occurs, detects the beacon packet transmitted from the information processing apparatus from signals received by the short-range wireless communication. When the mobile terminal detects the beacon packet, it controls the timing of initiating transmission of a data packet in accordance with the operational state of the information processing apparatus which the state information included in the beacon packet indicates.

主权项

1. A communication apparatus, comprising:
a reception unit configured to receive a packet transmitted from an external apparatus; a transmission unit configured to transmit a connection request to the external apparatus and to transmit data to the external apparatus after transmitting the connection request; and a decision unit configured to, based on information included in the packet received by the reception unit, decide a transmission interval between the connection request and the data.
