Communication apparatus, control method, and program

A communication apparatus, comprising:

• a first communication unit configured to communicate in a bidirectional communication mode for performing bidirectional message communication with an apparatus at the other side and in another mode for accepting an access to a predetermined storage area from the apparatus at the other side;
• a second communication unit;
• and
• a control unit capable of shifting between an active state having a first power consumption and an inactive state having a lower power consumption than the first power consumption,
• wherein when the bidirectional communication and a communication of communication setting information of the second communication unit are designated by a communication partner while the control unit is in the inactive state, the first communication unit communicates the communication setting information while the control unit is kept in the inactive state, and when the bidirectional communication is designated by the communication partner while the control unit is in the active state, the first communication unit transmits the information from the communication partner to the control unit.
