Communication system, communication device, and control method

A communication apparatus that communicates with an information processing apparatus and executes predetermined processing using image data, the communication apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor causing the communication apparatus to act as:
• a first communication unit configured to transmit advertising information and communicate with the information processing apparatus via a connection established based on a request from the information processing apparatus that receives the advertising information, based on Bluetooth® Low Energy standard as a first communication standard;
• a second communication unit configured to communicate image data with the information processing apparatus via communication based on a second communication standard which is able to perform higher-speed communication than the Bluetooth® Low Energy standard;
• a first determination unit configured to determine whether the communication apparatus is in a specific state, the communication apparatus not being able to execute the predetermined processing when in the specific state;
• and
• a second determination unit configured to determine whether an authentication of the information processing apparatus has been performed;
• wherein in a case where the second determination unit determines that the authentication of the information processing apparatus has been performed and in a case where the first determination unit determines that the communication apparatus is in the specific state, the first communication unit transmits specific information based on the specific state, via the connection established based on the request from the information processing apparatus that receives the advertising information based on the Bluetooth® Low Energy standard, and
• wherein in a case where the second determination unit determines that the authentication of the information processing apparatus has not been performed, the first communication unit does not transmit the specific information via the connection established based on the request from the information processing apparatus that receives the advertising information based on the Bluetooth® Low Energy standard, even in the case where the first determination unit determines that the communication apparatus is in the specific state.
