Claims20
A control method for controlling a first information processing apparatus including a predetermined program configured to run on an operating system (OS) and having a first operation environment being on a first OS running as a host OS but not being on a guest OS and a second information processing apparatus including the predetermined program and having a second operation environment being on a second OS running as the host OS and being on the guest OS, the control method comprising:
- performing, based on the predetermined program being running in the first operation environment, a first process for searching for an apparatus using Wi-Fi Direct® in the first information processing apparatus, and
- performing a process based on a result of the search by the first process in the first information processing apparatus;
- and
- performing, based on the predetermined program being running in the second operation environment, a second process for controlling the predetermined program to not perform the first process in the second information processing apparatus and searching for an apparatus without using Wi-Fi Direct® in the second information processing apparatus, and
- performing a process based on a result of the search by the second process in the second information processing apparatus.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a predetermined program configured to run on an OS, the predetermined program causing a computer of a first information processing apparatus having a first operation environment being on a first OS running as a host OS but not being on a guest OS to perform a first control method, the first control method comprising:
- performing, based on the predetermined program being running in the first operation environment, a first process for searching for an apparatus using Wi-Fi Direct®;
- and
- performing a process based on a result of the search by the first process, and
- the predetermined program causing a computer of a second information processing apparatus having a second operation environment being on a second OS running as the host OS and being on the guest OS to perform a second control method, the second control method comprising:
- performing, based on the predetermined program being running in the second operation environment, a second process for controlling the predetermined program to not perform the first process and searching for an apparatus without using Wi-Fi Direct®;
- and
- performing a process based on a result of the search by the second process.
