Abstract
A communication device acquires information relating to a first access point from a captured first image, and acquires information relating to a second access point from a captured second image. The communication device then starts communication parameter share processing of sharing a communication parameter, required for establishing a wireless network, with respect to the first access point or the second access point. The communication device starts the communication parameter share processing with respect to the second access point in response to reception of a completion notification indicative of completion of the communication parameter share processing with respect to the first access point, from the first access point.
Claims9
A communication device comprising:
- an execution unit configured to use information acquired by another communication device by said another communication device capturing an image, and execute communication parameter share processing of sharing a communication parameter required for establishing a wireless network with respect to said another communication device;
- a reception unit configured to receive information on an access point, on which the communication parameter share processing is to be executed, from said another communication device;
- and
- a start unit configured to start communication parameter share processing of sharing the communication parameter with respect to the access point on the basis of the information received by the reception unit after the communication parameter share processing is executed by the execution unit.
A communication method comprising:
- using information acquired by another communication device by said another communication device capturing an image, and executing communication parameter share processing of sharing a communication parameter required for establishing a wireless network with respect to said another communication device;
- receiving information on an access point, on which the communication parameter share processing is to be executed, from said another communication device;
- and
- starting communication parameter share processing of sharing the communication parameter with respect to the access point on the basis of the information received from said another communication device after the communication parameter share processing is executed with respect to said another communication device.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a communication device to execute processes, the processes comprising:
- using information acquired by another communication device by said another communication device capturing an image, and executing communication parameter share processing of sharing a communication parameter required for establishing a wireless network with respect to said another communication device;
- receiving information on an access point, on which the communication parameter share processing is to be executed, from said another communication device;
- and
- starting communication parameter share processing of sharing the communication parameter with respect to the access point on the basis of the information received from said another communication device after the communication parameter share processing is executed with respect to said another communication device.
