Communication apparatus for wirelessly communicating with another apparatus, information processing method, and program

An information processing method executed by a mobile terminal including a first wireless communication unit configured to communicate with a camera using a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), a second wireless communication unit configured to communicate with the camera using a Wi-Fi and a third wireless communication unit configured to communicate with a server using a public telephone network, the information processing method comprising:

• in a case where an instruction to download firmware is received when the mobile terminal and the camera are paired using BLE and are not connected using Wi-Fi, controlling the third wireless communication unit to download the new firmware from the server apparatus and displaying a first progress bar indicating a progress of the download of the new firmware during the download of the new firmware,
• in a case where an instruction to update firmware is received after the download of the new firmware is finished, transmitting the downloaded new firmware to the camera via the Wi-Fi and displaying a second progress bar indicating a progress of the transmission of the new firmware during the transmission of the new firmware,
• wherein a connection between the mobile terminal and the camera via the second wireless communication unit is established after the download of the new firmware is finished, and
• wherein the connection between the mobile terminal and the camera via the Wi-Fi is established based on an SSID that is received from the camera via the BLE, and
• wherein the first progress bar and the second progress bar are displayed distinguishably from each other by making a timing of displaying the first progress bar and a timing of displaying the second progress bar different from each other.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium which stores a program for causing a mobile terminal including a first wireless communication unit configured to communicate with a camera using a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), a second wireless communication unit configured to communicate with the camera using a Wi-Fi and a third wireless communication unit configured to communicate with a server using a public telephone network to execute a method, the method comprising:

• in a case where an instruction to download firmware is received when the mobile terminal and the camera are paired using BLE and are not connected using Wi-Fi, controlling the third wireless communication unit to download new firmware from the server apparatus and displaying a first progress bar indicating a progress of the download of the new firmware during the download of the new firmware,
• in a case where an instruction to update firmware is received after the download of the new firmware is finished, transmitting the downloaded new firmware to the camera via the Wi-Fi and displaying a second progress bar indicating a progress of the transmission of the new firmware during the transmission of the new firmware,
• wherein a connection between the mobile terminal and the camera via the second wireless communication unit is established after the download of the new firmware is finished, and
• wherein the connection between the mobile terminal and the camera via the Wi-Fi is established based on an SSID that is received from the camera via the BLE, and
• wherein the first progress bar and the second progress bar are displayed distinguishably from each other by making a timing of displaying the first progress bar and a timing of displaying the second progress bar different from each other.

A mobile terminal comprising:

• a first wireless communication unit configured to communicate with a camera using a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE);
• a second wireless communication unit configured to communicate with the camera using a Wi-Fi;
• a third wireless communication unit configured to communicate with a server using a public telephone network;
• and
• a control unit,
• wherein, in a case where the control unit receives an instruction to download firmware when the mobile terminal and the camera are in a paired state using BLE and are not connected using Wi-Fi, the control unit controls the third wireless communication unit to download new firmware from the server apparatus and displays a first progress bar indicating a progress of the download of the new firmware during the download of the new firmware,
• wherein, after the download of the new firmware is finished, a connection between the mobile terminal and the camera via the second wireless communication unit is established,
• wherein, after the connection between the mobile terminal and the camera via the second wireless communication unit is established, (a) the control unit transmits the downloaded new firmware to the camera via the Wi-Fi and (b) the control unit displays a second progress bar indicating a progress of the transmission of the new firmware during the transmission of the new firmware,
• wherein the connection between the mobile terminal and the camera via the Wi-Fi is established based on an SSID that is received from the camera via the BLE, and
• wherein the first progress bar and the second progress bar are displayed distinguishably from each other by making a timing of starting displaying a progress using the first progress bar and a timing of starting displaying a progress using the second progress bar different from each other.
