Abstract
A communication apparatus capable of wireless communication with an external apparatus, the communication apparatus comprises: a broadcast unit that broadcasts an advertisement signal prior to establishing a connection by wireless communication with the external apparatus; and a determination unit that determines a type of error that occurred in the communication apparatus, wherein when an error occurs in the communication apparatus, the determination unit determines the type of the error that occurred in the communication apparatus and the broadcast unit broadcasts, at an output radio wave intensity set for the type of the error, an advertisement signal that includes information indicating that the error occurred.
Claims10
A communication apparatus capable of wireless communication with an external apparatus, the communication apparatus comprising:
- a broadcast unit configured to broadcast an advertisement signal prior to establishing a connection by wireless communication with the external apparatus;
- and
- a determination unit configured to determine a type of error that occurred in the communication apparatus, wherein
- when an error occurs in the communication apparatus, the determination unit determines the type of the error that occurred in the communication apparatus and the broadcast unit broadcasts, at an output radio wave intensity set for the type of the error, an advertisement signal that includes information indicating that the error occurred.
A method of controlling a communication apparatus capable of wireless communication with an external apparatus, the method comprising:
- broadcasting an advertisement signal prior to establishing a connection by wireless communication with the external apparatus;
- and
- determining a type of error that occurred in the communication apparatus, wherein
- when an error occurs in the communication apparatus, the type of the error that occurred in the communication apparatus is determined and an advertisement signal that includes information indicating that the error occurred is broadcasted at an output radio wave intensity set for the type of the error.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to
- broadcast an advertisement signal prior to establishing a connection by wireless communication with an external apparatus;
- and
- determine a type of error that occurred in the computer, wherein
- when an error occurs in the computer, the type of the error that occurred in the computer is determined and an advertisement signal that includes information indicating that the error occurred is broadcasted at an output radio wave intensity set for the type of the error.
