Communication apparatus, control method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A control method of a communication apparatus that can communicate with an information processing apparatus by a wireless communication method, the method comprising:

• broadcasting an advertising signal wirelessly;
• and
• determining whether a connection request based on the advertising signal has been received from the information processing apparatus,
• wherein in a case where a state change of the communication apparatus has occurred, an advertising signal which includes information indicating a change in an apparatus state is broadcast, and
• in a case where reception of a connection request is not determined even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the broadcasting of the advertising signal which includes the information indicating the change in the apparatus state, a radio wave strength of the advertising signal is increased.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer included in a communication apparatus that can communicate with an information processing apparatus by a wireless communication method to

• broadcast an advertising signal, and
• determine whether a connection request based on the advertising signal has been received from the information processing apparatus,
• wherein in a case where a state change of the communication apparatus has occurred, an advertising signal which includes information indicating a change in an apparatus state is broadcast, and
• in a case where reception of a connection request is not determined even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the broadcasting of the advertising signal which includes the information indicating the change in the apparatus state, a radio wave strength of the advertising signal is increased.
