Abstract
In a case where a predetermined operation is received from a user, if a signal compliant with the DPP standard is received, a communication parameter sharing process is executed by a method compliant with the DPP standard, whereas if a signal compliant with another standard is received, the communication parameter sharing process is executed by a method compliant with the other standard.
Claims14
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a reception unit configured to receive a predetermined operation from a user;
- a first processing unit configured to execute a process of sharing a communication parameter for connecting to a wireless network with a first another communication apparatus in accordance with a first method compliant with a Wi-Fi Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP) standard;
- a second processing unit configured to execute a process of sharing a communication parameter for connecting to the wireless network with a second another communication apparatus in accordance with a second method compliant with another standard different from the DPP standard;
- and
- a control unit configured to control execution of the processes of sharing so that, in a case where the reception unit receives the predetermined operation, the process of sharing by the first processing unit is executed in a case where a first signal compliant with the DPP standard is received, and the process of sharing by the second processing unit is executed in a case where a second signal compliant with the other standard is received.

A method for controlling a communication apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving a predetermined operation from a user;
- executing a first process of sharing a communication parameter for connecting to a wireless network with a first another communication apparatus in accordance with a first method compliant with a Wi-Fi Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP) standard;
- executing a second process of sharing a communication parameter for connecting to the wireless network with a second another communication apparatus in accordance with a second method compliant with another standard different from the DPP standard;
- and
- controlling execution of the processes of sharing so that, in a case where the predetermined operation is received, the first process of sharing is executed in a case where a first signal compliant with the DPP standard is received, and the second process of sharing is executed in a case where a second signal compliant with the other standard is received.

A storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as a communication apparatus that performs a process comprising:
- receiving a predetermined operation from a user;
- executing a first process of sharing a communication parameter for connecting to a wireless network with a first another communication apparatus in accordance with a first method compliant with a Wi-Fi Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP) standard;
- executing a second process of sharing a communication parameter for connecting to the wireless network with a second another communication apparatus in accordance with a second method compliant with another standard different from the DPP standard;
- and
- controlling execution of the processes of sharing so that, in a case where the predetermined operation is received, the first process of sharing is executed in a case where a first signal compliant with the DPP standard is received, and the second process of sharing is executed in a case where a second signal compliant with the other standard is received.
