Abstract
A communication apparatus that communicates with an external apparatus includes a transmission unit that transmits, to the external apparatus via a first relay apparatus, connection information that the external apparatus uses to directly communicate with the communication apparatus and a control unit that controls direct communication with the external apparatus when disconnection of communication with the external apparatus via the first relay apparatus is detected.
Claims12
A communication apparatus that communicates with an external apparatus, the communication apparatus comprising:
- a transmitter configured to transmit, to the external apparatus via a first relay apparatus, connection information that the external apparatus uses to directly communicate with the communication apparatus before disconnection of communication with the external apparatus via the first relay apparatus;
- and
- a controller configured to control direct communication with the external apparatus based on the connection information transmitted beforehand, when the disconnection of communication with the external apparatus via the first relay apparatus is detected.
A method for communication executed by a communication apparatus that communicates with an external apparatus, the method comprising:
- transmitting, to the external apparatus via a relay apparatus, connection information that the external apparatus uses to directly communicate with the communication apparatus before disconnection of communication with the external apparatus via the relay apparatus;
- and
- controlling direct communication with the external apparatus based on the connection information transmitted beforehand, when disconnection of communication with the external apparatus via the relay apparatus is detected.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a method to control a communication apparatus that communicates with an external apparatus, the method comprising:
- transmitting, to the external apparatus via a first relay apparatus, connection information that the external apparatus uses to directly communicate with the communication apparatus before disconnection of communication with the external apparatus via the relay apparatus;
- and
- controlling direct communication with the external apparatus based on the connection information transmitted beforehand, when disconnection of communication with the external apparatus via the first relay apparatus is detected.
