Abstract
A communication apparatus acquires, from an external apparatus, an application for using a communication service using a local network in which communication is performed with a base station, that broadcasts a public land mobile wireless network identifier. The public land mobile wireless network identifier may not be defined in ITU-T Recommendation E.212, using a wireless communication method that supports transmission/reception with a plurality of OFDM subcarrier intervals, the application being bundled with connection setting information for making a connection to the local network, and make a connection to the local network using the connection setting information if the acquired application is active.
Claims9
A communication apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory that stores a set of instructions;
- and
- at least one processor that executes the instructions, wherein the instructions causes, when executed, the communication apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- acquiring an application program for using a communication service using a local network in which communication is performed with a base station, that broadcasts a public land mobile wireless network identifier, using a wireless communication method that supports transmission and/or reception with a plurality of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) subcarrier intervals, from an external apparatus located in another network different from the local network, while the communication apparatus is connected to a public network different from the local network, wherein the application program is bundled with connection setting information for making a connection to the local network;
- disconnecting a connection with the public network before making a connection to the local network;
- and
- making the connection to the local network using the connection setting information if the acquired application program is launched on the communication apparatus.
A method performed by a communication apparatus, the method comprising:
- acquiring an application program for using a communication service using a local network in which communication is performed with a base station, that broadcasts a public land mobile wireless network identifier, using a wireless communication method that supports transmission and/or reception with a plurality of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) subcarrier intervals, from an external apparatus located in another network different from the local network, while the communication apparatus is connected to a public network different from the local network, wherein the application program is bundled with connection setting information for making a connection to the local network;
- disconnecting a connection with the public network before making a connection to the local network;
- and
- controlling a connection by making the connection to the local network using the connection setting information if the acquired application program is launched on the communication apparatus.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to execute a method performed by a communication apparatus, the method comprising:
- acquiring an application program for using a communication service using a local network in which communication is performed with a base station, that broadcasts a public land mobile wireless network identifier, using a wireless communication method that supports transmission and/or reception with a plurality of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) subcarrier intervals, from an external apparatus located in another network different from the local network, while the communication apparatus is connected to a public network different from the local network, wherein the application program is bundled with connection setting information for making a connection to the local network;
- disconnecting a connection with the public network before making a connection to the local network;
- and
- controlling a connection by making the connection to the local network using the connection setting information if the acquired application program is launched on the communication apparatus.
