Abstract
A Connector for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with device provisioning protocol (DPP) and information for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with a protocol different from the DPP are held. In a case where the held Connector is provided to another communication apparatus, information for establishing a connection to a wireless network that is connectable by using the Connector is held, the Connector and the held information are provided to the other communication apparatus in accordance with the DPP.
Claims20
A communication apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories storing:
- a Connector for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with device provisioning protocol (DPP);
- information for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with a protocol different from the DPP;
- and
- instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the communication apparatus to:
- accept an instruction for starting a process regarding the DPP from a user;
- and
- provide, in accordance with the DPP, another communication apparatus with a communication parameter including both the Connector and the information.
A communication apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the communication apparatus to:
- receive, in accordance with device provisioning protocol (DPP), a communication parameter for establishing a connection to a wireless network;
- and
- execute, in a case where the received communication parameter includes both a Connector for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with the DPP and information for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with a protocol different from the DPP, at least one processing of connection processing according to the DPP using the Connector or connection processing according to the protocol different from the DPP using the information.
A control method for a communication apparatus, the control method comprising:
- a first holding step of holding a Connector for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with device provisioning protocol (DPP);
- a second holding step of holding information for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with a protocol different from the DPP;
- an accepting step of accepting an instruction for starting a process regarding the DPP from a user;
- and
- a provision step of providing, in accordance with the DPP, another communication apparatus with a communication parameter including both the Connector and the information.
A control method for a communication apparatus, the control method comprising:
- a reception step of receiving, in accordance with device provisioning protocol (DPP), a communication parameter for establishing a connection to a wireless network;
- and
- an execution step of executing, in a case where the communication parameter received in the reception step includes both a Connector for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with the DPP and information for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with a protocol different from the DPP, at least one processing of connection processing according to the DPP using the Connector or connection processing according to the protocol different from the DPP using the information.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a communication apparatus to perform a process, the process comprising:
- a reception step of receiving, in accordance with device provisioning protocol (DPP), a communication parameter for establishing a connection to a wireless network;
- and
- an execution step of executing, in a case where the communication parameter received in the reception step includes both a Connector for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with the DPP and information for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with a protocol different from the DPP, at least one processing of connection processing according to the DPP using the Connector or connection processing according to the protocol different from the DPP using the information.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a communication apparatus to perform a process, the process comprising:
- a first holding step of holding a Connector for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with device provisioning protocol (DPP);
- a second holding step of holding information for establishing a connection to a wireless network in accordance with a protocol different from the DPP;
- an accepting step of accepting an instruction for starting a process regarding the DPP from a user;
- and
- a provision step of providing, in accordance with the DPP, another communication apparatus with a communication parameter including both the Connector and the information.
