Abstract
A communication apparatus and a method for controlling same, where a wireless communication unit that can operate in a direct wireless communication mode that executes direct wireless communication between an external apparatus and the communication apparatus is comprised, and when a user of the communication apparatus is specified, at least user information of the user is used to generate an SSID that is used in the direct wireless communication mode.
Claims38
A communication apparatus equipped with a direct wireless communication function for executing a direct wireless communication with an external apparatus, the communication apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store a plurality of SSIDs, used by the direct wireless communication function, in correspondence with user information of users, respectively;
- and
- at least one processor that executes instructions to:
- specify a user of the communication apparatus;
- and
- select, from the plurality of SSIDs stored in the memory, an SSID that corresponds to user information of the specified user,
- wherein the wireless communication unit uses the selected SSID to execute the direct wireless communication function.
A method of controlling a communication apparatus equipped with a direct wireless communication function that executes a direct wireless communication with an external apparatus, the method comprising:
- specifying a user of the communication apparatus;
- and
- obtaining, from a plurality of SSIDs stored in correspondence with user information of users, respectively, an SSID that corresponds to user information of the specified user,
- wherein the communication apparatus uses the obtained SSID to execute the direct wireless communication function.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a processor to execute a method of controlling a communication apparatus equipped with a direct wireless communication function that executes a direct wireless communication with an external apparatus, the method comprising:
- specifying a user of the communication apparatus;
- and
- obtaining, from a plurality of SSIDs stored in correspondence with user information of users, respectively, an SSID that corresponds to user information of the specified user,
- wherein the communication apparatus uses the obtained SSID to execute the direct wireless communication function.
A communication apparatus equipped with a direct wireless communication function for executing a direct wireless communication with an external apparatus, the communication apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store a plurality of SSIDs, used by the direct wireless communication function, in correspondence with user information of users, respectively, and
- at least one processor that executes instructions to:
- specify user information of a user who is using the communication apparatus, and
- select, from the plurality of SSIDs stored in the memory, an SSID that corresponds to the specified user information,
- wherein the wireless communication unit uses the selected SSID to execute the direct wireless communication function.
A method of controlling a communication apparatus equipped with a direct wireless communication function that executes a direct wireless communication with an external apparatus, the method comprising:
- identifying a user who is operating the communication apparatus;
- and
- obtaining, from a plurality of SSIDs stored in correspondence with users, respectively, an SSID that corresponds to the identified user,
- wherein the communication apparatus uses the obtained SSID to execute the direct wireless communication function.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a processor to execute a method of controlling a communication apparatus equipped with a direct wireless communication function that executes a direct wireless communication with an external apparatus, the method comprising:
- specifying user information of a user who is using the communication apparatus;
- and
- obtaining, from a plurality of SSIDs stored in correspondence with user information of users, respectively, an SSID that corresponds to the specified user information,
- wherein the communication apparatus uses the obtained SSID to execute the direct wireless communication function.
