Abstract
If a communication apparatus receives connection destination information for joining a second wireless network via a first wireless network created by the communication apparatus, the communication apparatus ends the first wireless network and attempts to join the second wireless network based on the received connection destination information. If the attempt to join the second wireless network fails, the communication apparatus re-creates the first wireless network.
Claims17
A communication apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories including instructions that, in a case where executed by the processor(s), cause the apparatus to:
- create a first wireless network;
- receive first connection destination information for joining a second wireless network from a first another communication apparatus via the first wireless network;
- end the first wireless network in a case where the first connection destination information is received;
- attempt to join the second wireless network based on the first connection destination information in the case where the first connection destination information is received;
- and
- re-create the first wireless network that was ended in response to failure of the attempt to join the second wireless network,
- wherein the first another communication apparatus is notified of the failure of the attempt to join the second wireless network via the re-created first wireless network.
A method of controlling a communication apparatus, the method comprising:
- creating a first wireless network;
- receiving connection destination information for joining a second wireless network from a first another communication apparatus via the created first wireless network;
- ending the first wireless network in a case where the connection destination information is received;
- attempting to join the second wireless network based on the connection destination information in a case where the connection destination information is received;
- re-creating the first wireless network in response to failure of the attempt to join the second wireless network;
- and
- notifying the first another communication apparatus of the failure of the attempt to join the second wireless network via the re-created first wireless network.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to execute a control method of a communication apparatus, the method comprising:
- creating a first wireless network;
- receiving connection destination information for joining a second wireless network from a first another communication apparatus via the created first wireless network;
- ending the first wireless network in a case where the connection destination information is received;
- attempting to join the second wireless network based on the connection destination information in a case where the connection destination information is received;
- re-creating the first wireless network in response to failure of the attempt to join the second wireless network;
- and
- notifying the first another communication apparatus of the failure of the attempt to join the second wireless network via the re-created first wireless network.
