Communication apparatus, control method, and recording medium

A control method for controlling a communication apparatus, the communication apparatus configured to communicate by a first wireless communication method and a second wireless communication method different from the first wireless communication method, operate as a slave apparatus in communication by the first wireless communication method, and establish a first wireless connection by the first wireless communication method and a second wireless connection by the second wireless communication method, the control method comprising:

• operating the communication apparatus in a state of executing a predetermined communication operation by the first wireless communication method as an apparatus operable as the slave apparatus;
• causing the communication apparatus to establish the first wireless connection after the communication apparatus is operated in the state of executing the predetermined communication operation;
• performing predetermined communication with an external apparatus via the established first wireless connection, the predetermined communication being communication of communication information for performing communication based on the second wireless communication method;
• causing the communication apparatus to establish the second wireless connection after the predetermined communication with the external apparatus is performed via the first wireless connection;
• controlling the communication apparatus, based on processing related to establishing the second wireless connection, so that the first wireless connection is ended, wherein the communication apparatus is operated in a state of not executing the predetermined communication operation, while the second wireless connection is established;
• and
• operating the communication apparatus again in the state of executing the predetermined communication operation based on processing related to disconnecting the second wireless connection.

A communication apparatus configured to communicate by a first wireless communication method and a second wireless communication method different from the first wireless communication method, the communication apparatus operating as a slave apparatus in communication by the first wireless communication method, and establishing a first wireless connection by the first wireless communication method and a second wireless connection by the second wireless communication method, the communication apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor which executes operations comprising:
• operating the communication apparatus in a state of executing a predetermined communication operation by the first wireless communication method as an apparatus operable as the slave apparatus;
• causing the communication apparatus to establish the first wireless connection after the communication apparatus is operated in the state of executing the predetermined communication operation;
