Communication apparatus and method for managing communications between different networks

A communication method of a communication apparatus, comprising:

• receiving a user instruction for executing a predetermined setup by the communication apparatus including concurrently executing a first function and a second function;
• based on the user instruction, building a first network for performing a predetermined setting and executing the first function for waiting for connection of another communication apparatus to the first network built by the communication apparatus;
• based on the user instruction, executing the second function, at a same time as the first function, for searching for a second network for a predetermined setup built by another communication apparatus;
• controlling, the communication apparatus
• when the first function and the second function are executed concurrently, to
• acquire connection information from a first other communication apparatus when during the execution of the first function, it is determined that the first other communication apparatus has connected to the first network;
• acquire connection information from a Group Owner (GO) when, during execution of the second function, the communication apparatus has found the second network build by the GO in the searching and the communication apparatus has connected to the second network;
• disconnecting the connection with the first other communication apparatus or the GO when the communication apparatus has acquired the connection information;
• and
• connecting to a connection destination indicated by the acquired connection information from the first other communication apparatus or the GO.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, configures a communication apparatus to perform a method, the method comprising:

• receiving a user instruction for executing a predetermined setup by the communication apparatus including concurrently executing a first function and a second function;
• based on the user instruction, building a first network for performing a predetermined setting and executing the first function for waiting for connection of another communication apparatus to the first network built by the communication apparatus;
• based on the user instruction, executing the second function, at a same time as the first function, for searching for a second network for a predetermined setup built by another communication apparatus;
• controlling, the communication apparatus;
• when the first function and the second function are executed concurrently, to
• acquire connection information from a first other communication apparatus when during the execution of the first fuction, it is determined that the first other communication apparatus has connected to the first network;
• acquire connection information from a Group Owner (GO) when, during execution of the second function, the communication apparatus has found the second network build by the GO in the searching and the communication apparatus has connected to the second network;
• disconnecting the connection with the first other communication apparatus or the GO when the communication apparatus has acquired the connection information;
• and
• connecting to a connection destination indicated by the acquired connection information from the first other communication apparatus or the GO.
