Abstract
In a case where the setting information does not include a frequency band information corresponding to the first frequency band and does not include a frequency band information corresponding to the second frequency band or in a case where the setting information includes the frequency band information corresponding to the first frequency band and the frequency band information corresponding to the second frequency band, the communication apparatus wirelessly connects with the external apparatus using the first frequency band with priority than the second frequency.
Claims22
A communication apparatus that wirelessly communicates in a first frequency band and a second frequency band, the communication apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor,
- wherein the at least one processor performs operations of:
- a connection establishment unit configured to, after the communication apparatus receives from a user a predetermined operation for establishing a predetermined connection between the communication apparatus and an external apparatus, establish the predetermined connection;
- and
- a control unit configured to
- control, based on that the predetermined operation is performed in a state in which the communication apparatus is operating in a first state for performing peer-to-peer communication with another apparatus and that the predetermined connection using the first frequency band is established, the communication apparatus such that the communication apparatus operates both in the first state and a second state that the communication apparatus is establishing the predetermined connection, and
- control, based on that the predetermined operation is performed in a state in which the communication apparatus is operating in the first state and that the predetermined connection using the second frequency band is established, the communication apparatus such that the communication apparatus is not operating in the first state but is operating in the second state.
A control method of a communication apparatus that wirelessly communicates in a first frequency band and a second frequency band, the control method comprising:
- establishing a predetermined connection after the communication apparatus receives from a user a predetermined operation for establishing the predetermined connection between the communication apparatus and an external apparatus;
- and
- controlling, based on that the predetermined operation is performed in a state in which the communication apparatus is operating in a first state for performing peer-to-peer communication with another apparatus and that the predetermined connection using the first frequency band is established, the communication apparatus such that the communication apparatus is operates both in the first state and a second state that the communication apparatus is establishing the predetermined connection,
- controlling, based on that the predetermined operation is performed in a state in which the communication apparatus is operating in the first state and that the predetermined connection using the second frequency band is established, the communication apparatus such that the communication apparatus is not operating in the first state but is operating in the second state.
