Abstract
A communication device functioning as an access point provides, to a user, a setting screen usable for designating an operation setting of an operating channel of an access point device in a specific frequency band. The setting screen is controlled such that a channel different from a channel recommended for scanning via the setting screen is prevented from being selected as the operation setting of the operating channel of the access point in the specific frequency band.
Claims14
A communication device functioning as an access point, the communication device comprising:
- a providing unit configured to provide a setting screen to a user, the setting screen being usable for designating an operation setting of an operating channel of the access point in a specific frequency band,
- wherein the setting screen provided by the providing unit is configured such that a channel that is in the specific frequency band and that is different from a channel recommended for scanning via the setting screen is not selectable as the operation setting of the operating channel of the access point in the specific frequency band, and is configured such that the channel that is recommended for scanning and that is in the specific frequency band is selectable, and
- wherein the channel recommended for scanning is a channel constituting preferred scanning channels prescribed in an IEEE 802.11 standard series.
A communication device functioning as an access point, the communication device comprising:
- a providing unit configured to provide a setting screen to a user, the setting screen being usable for designating an operation setting of an operating channel of the access point in a specific frequency band;
- and
- a control unit configured to perform control to perform a setting change based on a user operation accepted via the setting screen in accordance with whether the user operation is for changing to a channel constituting preferred scanning channels, or to not perform the setting change based on the accepted user operation in accordance with whether the user operation is for changing to a channel not constituting the preferred scanning channels.
A control method of a communication device functioning as an access point, the control method comprising:
- providing a setting screen to a user, the setting screen being usable for designating an operation setting of an operating channel of the access point in a specific frequency band,
- wherein the setting screen provided in the providing step is configured such that a channel different from a channel recommended for scanning is prevented from being selected as the operation setting of the operating channel of the access point in the specific frequency band.
A control method of a communication device functioning as an access point, the control method comprising:
- providing a setting screen to a user, the setting screen being usable for designating an operation setting of an operating channel of the access point in a specific frequency band;
- and
- performing control to perform a setting change based on a user operation accepted via the setting screen in accordance with whether the user operation is for changing to a channel constituting preferred scanning channels, or to not perform the setting change based on the accepted user operation in accordance with whether the user operation is for changing to a channel not constituting the preferred scanning channels.
