Abstract
A communication device that communicates wirelessly receives, from a first another device, a predetermined signal to be transmitted before a connection with the first another device is established, a response to the predetermined signal being to be transmitted to the first another device when the communication device receives the predetermined signal, and controls, upon receiving the predetermined signal, a transmission timing of the response to the predetermined signal, based on communication that is executable by the communication device with a second another device that is a communication partner of the first another device.
Claims18
A communication device that communicates wirelessly, the communication device configured to:
- receive, from a first another device, a predetermined signal to be transmitted before a connection with the first another device is established, a response to the predetermined signal being to be transmitted to the first another device when the communication device receives the predetermined signal;
- and
- control, upon receiving the predetermined signal, a transmission timing of the response to the predetermined signal, based on communication that is executable by the communication device with a second another device that is a communication partner of the first another device.
A control method performed by a communication device that communicates wirelessly, the control method comprising:
- receiving, from a first another device, a predetermined signal to be transmitted before a connection with the first another device is established, a response to the predetermined signal being to be transmitted to the first another device, when the communication device receives the predetermined signal;
- and
- controlling, upon receiving the predetermined signal, a transmission timing of the response to the predetermined signal, based on communication executable by the communication device with a second another device that is a communication partner of the first another device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a program for causing a computer included in a communication device that communicates wirelessly to:
- receive, from a first another device, a predetermined signal to be transmitted before a connection with the first another device is established, a response to the predetermined signal being to be transmitted to the first another device, when the communication device receives the predetermined signal;
- and
- control, upon receiving the predetermined signal, a transmission timing of the response to the predetermined signal, based on communication executable by the communication device with a second another device that is a communication partner of the first another device.
