Abstract
Pairing is carried out with no user operation for a communication apparatus. A client device (4) of the present invention including: a notification signal detecting section (70) for detecting receipt of a notification signal for informing a user of a communication network or an apparatus each connectable via a router; and a client side pairing performing section (72) for carrying out pairing with respect to the router upon detection, by the notification signal detecting section (70), of receipt of the notification signal. The user can consequently carry out pairing between the client device (4) and the router without carrying out any input operation for the client device (4).
Claims14
A communication apparatus that carries out pairing with respect to a relay apparatus which transmits a notification signal for informing a presence of a connectable communication network or a connectable apparatus and that carries out a wireless telecommunication with the relay apparatus, with which the communication apparatus has been paired, to communicatively connect to said connectable communication network or said connectable apparatus,
- the communication apparatus comprising:
- a notification detecting section for detecting receipt of the notification signal;
- and
- an upon-receipt pairing section for carrying out the pairing with respect to the relay apparatus upon detection, by the notification detecting section, of receipt of the notification signal.
A method for controlling a communication apparatus that carries out pairing with respect to a relay apparatus which transmits a notification signal for informing a presence of a connectable communication network or a connectable apparatus and that carries out a wireless telecommunication with the relay apparatus, with which the communication apparatus has been paired, to communicatively connect to said connectable communication network or said connectable apparatus,
- the method comprising the steps of:
- (A) detecting receipt of the notification signal;
- and
- (B) carrying out the pairing with respect to the relay apparatus upon detection, in the step (A), of receipt of the notification signal.
