Communication apparatus, terminal apparatus, control methods thereof, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A control method for an image processing apparatus having a wired communication unit, a first wireless communication unit, and a second wireless communication unit, wherein a communication speed of the first wireless communication unit is faster than the communication speed of the second wireless communication unit, the method comprising:

• inputting a user's instruction to activate one of the wired communication unit and the first wireless communication units;
• in a case where a wireless communication between the second wireless communication unit of the image processing apparatus and a communication partner apparatus is executed, the first wireless communication unit of the image processing apparatus is activated by the user's instruction, and the image processing apparatus is connected to a network to which the communication partner apparatus is connected, communicating data, via the network, with the communication partner apparatus which is a communication partner of the second wireless communication using the first wireless communication unit, and
• in a case where the wireless communication between the second wireless communication unit of the image processing apparatus and the communication partner apparatus is executed, the wired communication unit is activated by the user's instruction, and the image processing apparatus is not connected to the network to which the communication partner apparatus is connected, communicating the data with the communication partner apparatus via a direct connection established between the communication partner apparatus and the first wireless communication unit of the image processing apparatus, wherein the direct connection is established by the image processing apparatus performing a wireless communication control processing for the direct connection.

An image processing apparatus having a wired communication unit, a first wireless communication unit, and a second wireless communication unit, wherein a communication speed of the first wireless communication unit is faster than the communication speed of the second wireless communication unit, the image processing apparatus comprising:

• an input unit that inputs a user's instruction to activate one of the wired communication unit and the first wireless communication units;
• and
• a communication control unit that (a) in a case where a wireless communication between the second wireless communication unit of the image processing apparatus and a communication partner apparatus is executed, the first wireless communication unit of the image processing apparatus is activated by the user's instruction, and the image processing apparatus is connected to a network to which the communication partner apparatus is connected, communicates data, via the network, with the communication partner apparatus which is a communication partner of the second wireless communication using the first wireless communication unit, and (b) in a case where the wireless communication between the second wireless communication unit of the image processing apparatus and the communication partner apparatus is executed, the wired communication unit is activated by the user's instruction, and the image processing apparatus is not connected to the network to which the communication partner apparatus is connected, communicates the data with the communication partner apparatus via a direct connection established between the communication partner apparatus and the first wireless communication unit of the image processing apparatus, wherein the direct connection is established by the image processing apparatus performing a wireless communication control processing for the direct connection.
