Communication apparatus and control method therefor

A communication apparatus comprising:

• a communication portion configured to perform wireless communications with an external apparatus based on a predetermined communication scheme;
• and
• at least one processor configured to cause the communication apparatus to act as a first determiner and a second determiner, wherein the first determiner determines whether an auto power-on function of powering on the communication apparatus under a predetermined condition even when the communication apparatus is in a powered-off state is set to be enabled, and
• the second determiner determines whether a power-off instruction is an instruction based on a user operation,
• wherein, in a case where the auto power-on function is set to be enabled and the second determiner determines that the power-off instruction is the instruction based on the user operation, the communication portion disconnects, in response to a power-off instruction, connection to the external apparatus, which has been established based on the predetermined communication scheme.

A control method for a communication apparatus, the control method comprising:

• performing wireless communications with an external apparatus based on a Bluetooth Low Energy communication scheme;
• and
• determining whether an auto power-on function of powering on the communication apparatus under a predetermined condition even when the communication apparatus is in a powered-off state is set to be enabled;
• wherein, in a case where it is determined that the auto power-on function is set to be enabled, connection to the external apparatus, which has been established based on the Bluetooth Low Energy communication scheme, is disconnected in response to a power-off instruction, and advertising information that allows a response based on the Bluetooth Low Energy communication scheme to be received is transmitted.
