Abstract
An information processing apparatus comprises a first interface that performs wireless communication relayed through a base station and a second interface that performs wireless communication not relayed through a base station, and the information processing apparatus allows the wireless communication by the second interface to start under a condition that the wireless communication by the first interface has been started so that it is possible to set the same frequency channel used in the two types of wireless communication.
Claims7
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a first wireless LAN interface that performs first wireless communication relayed through an access point of another device;
- a second wireless LAN interface that performs second wireless communication not relayed through an access point of another device, wherein the second wireless LAN interface is configured to perform the second wireless communication using a same frequency channel as a frequency channel of the first wireless communication in a state where the first wireless LAN interface is performing the first wireless communication;
- and
- a controller that:
- determines whether or not information of the access point of another device to be connected to the first wireless LAN interface is registered;
- allows the second wireless LAN interface to execute the second wireless communication in a case where the controller determines that the information of the access point of another device to be connected to the first wireless LAN interface is registered;
- and
- inhibits the second wireless LAN interface from starting the second wireless communication in a case where the controller determines that the information of the access point of another device to be connected to the first wireless LAN interface is not registered.
A method of controlling an information processing apparatus having a first wireless LAN interface that performs first wireless communication relayed through an access point of another device and a second wireless LAN interface that performs second wireless communication not relayed through an access point of another device, wherein the second wireless LAN interface is configured to perform the second wireless communication using a same frequency channel as a frequency channel of the first wireless communication in a state where the first wireless LAN interface is performing the first wireless communication, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining whether or not information of the access point of another device to be connected to the first wireless LAN interface is registered;
- allowing the second wireless LAN interface to execute the second wireless communication in a case where the determining step determines that the information of the access point of another device to be connected to the first wireless LAN interface is registered;
- and
- inhibiting the second wireless LAN interface from starting the second wireless communication in a case where the determining step determines that the information of the access point of another device to be connected to the first wireless LAN interface is not registered.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a processor to execute a method of controlling an information processing apparatus having a first wireless LAN interface that performs first wireless communication relayed through an access point of another device and a second wireless LAN interface that performs second wireless communication not relayed through an access point of another device, wherein the second wireless LAN interface is configured to perform the second wireless communication using a same frequency channel as a frequency channel of the first wireless communication in a state where the first wireless LAN interface is performing the first wireless communication, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining whether or not information of the access point of another device to be connected to the first wireless LAN interface is registered;
- allowing the second wireless LAN interface to execute the second wireless communication in a case where the determining step determines that the information of the access point of another device to be connected to the first wireless LAN interface is registered;
- and
- inhibiting the second wireless LAN interface from starting the second wireless communication in a case where the determining step determines that the information of the access point of another device to be connected to the first wireless LAN interface is not registered.
