Information processing device, control method, and recording medium

An information processing device that is capable of communicating with a communication apparatus capable of communicating by using Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi®, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the information processing apparatus to operate as:
• a processing unit configured to execute, based on receiving a predetermined user operation on the information processing apparatus, predetermined control in a case where the communication apparatus is not connected to an external apparatus by using the Wi-Fi®, the external apparatus being an apparatus residing outside the communication apparatus and outside the information processing apparatus, and not executing the predetermined control even when the predetermined user operation is received in a case where the information processing apparatus and the communication apparatus are connected to the external apparatus by using the Wi-Fi®, the predetermined control including processing of displaying a screen for transmitting information about the external apparatus to the communication apparatus on a display;
• a transmission unit configured to execute, after execution of the predetermined control, transmission processing of transmitting the information about the external apparatus to the communication apparatus operating as a slave device by using the Bluetooth®;
• and
• a communication unit configured to communicate with the communication apparatus via the external apparatus, based on the information about the external apparatus transmitted by the transmission processing, after a connection of the external apparatus and the communication apparatus by using the Wi-Fi®.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to cause a computer of an information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a communication apparatus capable of communicating by using Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi® to execute a control method, the control method comprising:

• executing, based on receiving a predetermined user operation on the information processing apparatus, predetermined control in a case where the communication apparatus is not connected to an external apparatus by using the Wi-Fi®, the external apparatus being an apparatus residing outside the communication apparatus and outside the information processing apparatus, and not executing the predetermined control even when the predetermined user operation is received in a case where the information processing apparatus and the communication apparatus are connected to the external apparatus by using the Wi-Fi®, the predetermined control including processing of displaying a screen for transmitting information about the external apparatus to the communication apparatus on a display;
• executing, after execution of the predetermined control, transmission processing of transmitting the information about the external apparatus to the communication apparatus operating as a slave device by using the Bluetooth®;
• and
• communicating with the communication apparatus via the external apparatus, based on the information about the external apparatus transmitted by the transmission processing, after a connection of the external apparatus and the communication apparatus by using the Wi-Fi®.
