Abstract
A communication apparatus having a plurality of station (STA) functions exclusively operates the plurality of STA functions, executes sharing processing for sharing a parameter to be used to connect to an access point (AP), acquires information about the plurality of STA functions, selects an STA function to be used for the sharing processing in accordance with the information acquired by the acquisition unit, and connects to the AP based on the parameter shared by using the STA function selected by the selection unit.
Claims8
A communication apparatus having a plurality of station (STA) functions, the communication apparatus comprising:
- a control unit configured to exclusively operate the plurality of STA functions;
- an execution unit configured to execute sharing processing for sharing a parameter to be used to connect to an access point (AP);
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire information about the plurality of STA functions;
- a selection unit configured to select an STA function to be used for the sharing processing in accordance with the information acquired by the acquisition unit;
- and
- a connection unit configured to connect to the AP based on the parameter shared by using the STA function selected by the selection unit.
A method for controlling a communication apparatus having a plurality of station (STA) functions, the method comprising:
- performing control to exclusively operate the plurality of STA functions by using one radio frequency (RF) circuit;
- executing sharing processing for sharing a parameter to be used to connect to an access point (AP);
- acquiring information about the plurality of STA functions;
- selecting an STA function to be used for the sharing processing in accordance with the acquired information;
- and
- connecting to the AP based on the parameter shared by using the selected STA function.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method for controlling a communication apparatus having a plurality of station (STA) functions, the method comprising:
- performing control to exclusively operate the plurality of STA functions by using one radio frequency (RF) circuit;
- executing sharing processing for sharing a parameter to be used to connect to an access point (AP);
- acquiring information about the plurality of STA functions;
- selecting an STA function to be used for the sharing processing in accordance with the acquired information;
- and
- connecting to the AP based on the parameter shared by using the selected STA function.
