Abstract
A communication apparatus which includes a communication unit that communicates with an external apparatus, records connection information for connecting to the external apparatus using the communication unit, and subjects, upon activation of the communication apparatus, the communication unit to communication connection to the external apparatus based on the connection information. The communication apparatus inhibits the communication connection to the external apparatus based on an activation factor, which is a factor in the activation of the communication apparatus.
Claims23
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit configured to communicate with an external apparatus;
- a recording unit configured to record connection information for connecting to the external apparatus using the communication unit;
- a connecting unit configured to subject, upon activation of the communication apparatus, the communication unit to communication connection to the external apparatus based on the connection information;
- and
- an inhibiting unit configured to inhibit the communication connection to the external apparatus established by the connecting unit, based on an activation factor, which is a factor in the activation of the communication apparatus.
A method for controlling a communication apparatus that includes a communication unit configured to communicate with an external apparatus, the method comprising:
- recording connection information for connecting to the external apparatus using the communication unit;
- connecting, upon activation of the communication apparatus, the communication unit to the external apparatus based on the connection information so that the communication unit and the external apparatus are subjected to communication connection;
- and
- inhibiting the communication connection to the external apparatus established in the connecting, based on an activation factor, which is a factor in the activation of the communication apparatus.
A communication apparatus comprising:
- an image capture unit;
- a communication unit configured to communicate with an external apparatus;
- a recording unit configured to record image data obtained by the image capture unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to establish, upon activation of the communication apparatus, communication connection to the external apparatus registered in advance, and controlling the communication unit so that the image data recorded by the recording unit is automatically transmitted to the external apparatus,
- wherein the control unit controls the communication unit so that automatic transmission of the image data is not executed if a factor in the activation of the communication apparatus is a predetermined factor.
A method for controlling a communication apparatus that includes an image capture unit, a communication unit configured to communicate with an external apparatus, and a recording unit configured to record image data obtained by the image capture unit, the method comprising:
- establishing, upon activation of the communication apparatus, communication connection to the external apparatus registered in advance, and controlling the communication unit so that the image data recorded by the recording unit is automatically transmitted to the external apparatus;
- and
- controlling the communication unit so that automatic transmission of the image data is not executed if a factor in the activation of the communication apparatus is a predetermined factor.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a method for controlling a communication apparatus that includes a communication unit configured to communicate with an external apparatus, the method comprising:
- recording connection information for connecting to the external apparatus using the communication unit;
- connecting, upon activation of the communication apparatus, the communication unit to the external apparatus based on the connection information so that the communication unit and the external apparatus are subjected to communication connection;
- and
- inhibiting the communication connection to the external apparatus established in the connecting, based on an activation factor, which is a factor in the activation of the communication apparatus.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a method for controlling a communication apparatus that includes image capture unit, a communication unit configured do communicate with an external apparatus, and a recording unit configured to record image data obtained by the image capture unit, the method comprising:
- establishing, upon activation of the communication apparatus, communication connection to the external apparatus registered in advance, and controlling the communication unit so that the image data recorded by the recording unit is automatically transmitted to the external apparatus;
- and
- controlling the communication unit so that automatic transmission of the image data is not executed if a factor in the activation of the communication apparatus is a predetermined factor.
