Abstract
A control unit is configured to perform second control for stopping operation in a predetermined mode based on a second time shorter than a first time, the second time having elapsed with connection setting not made since the operation in the predetermined mode by a communication apparatus was started in a case where the communication apparatus is operating in the predetermined mode and the predetermined processing is completed.
Claims22
A communication apparatus comprising:
- one or more memories storing instructions, and
- one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories, wherein execution of the instructions causes the one or more processors to perform operation of:
- causing the communication apparatus to start operation in a predetermined mode for receiving setting information from an information processing apparatus;
- making connection setting of the communication apparatus based on the setting information in a case where the setting information is received from the information processing apparatus during the operation in the predetermined mode;
- performing predetermined processing to be completed based on a user operation;
- counting a value corresponding to a time after the operation in the predetermined mode by the communication apparatus is started;
- and
- determining whether to stop the operation in the predetermined mode, based on the counted value and a predetermined threshold value;
- and
- in a case where the communication apparatus is operating in the predetermined mode and the predetermined processing is not completed, perform first control for stopping the operation in the predetermined mode based on a first time having elapsed with the connection setting not made since the operation in the predetermined mode by the communication apparatus was started, and
- in a case where the communication apparatus is operating in the predetermined mode and the predetermined processing is completed, perform second control for stopping the operation in the predetermined mode based on a second time having elapsed with the connection setting not made since the operation in the predetermined mode by the communication apparatus was started, the second time being shorter than the first time,
- wherein the first control includes processing of determining whether to stop the operation in the predetermined mode, based on the counted value and the predetermined threshold value corresponding to the first time, and
- wherein the second control includes change processing including at least one of a change of increasing the counted value or a change of decreasing the predetermined threshold value, and processing of determining whether to stop the operation in the predetermined mode, based on the counted value and the predetermined threshold value that have been subjected to the change processing.

- in a case where the communication apparatus is operating in the predetermined mode and the predetermined processing is completed, perform second control for stopping the operation in the predetermined mode based on a second time having elapsed with the connection setting not made since the operation in the predetermined mode by the communication apparatus was started, the second time being shorter than the first time,
- wherein, in a case where the predetermined processing is completed during the operation in the predetermined mode, whether to perform the second control is controlled based on a time that has elapsed since the operation in the predetermined mode by the communication apparatus was started,
- wherein, in a case where the predetermined processing is completed during the operation in the predetermined mode and the time that has elapsed since the operation in the predetermined mode by the communication apparatus was started is longer than a specific threshold value, the second control is not performed, and
- wherein, in a case where the predetermined processing is completed during the operation in the predetermined mode and the time that has elapsed since the operation in the predetermined mode by the communication apparatus was started is not longer than the specific threshold value, the second control is performed,
- wherein, in a case where the predetermined processing is completed during the operation in the predetermined mode and the time that has elapsed since the operation in the predetermined mode by the communication apparatus was started is longer than a specific threshold value, third control is performed, the third control being for stopping the operation in the predetermined mode based on a third time having elapsed with the connection setting not made since the operation in the predetermined mode by the communication apparatus was started, the third time being longer than the first time.
