Abstract
In an information processing apparatus capable of executing a first wireless communication method and a second wireless communication method having a communication range wider than that of the first wireless communication method, an apparatus to be caused to execute predetermined processing is searched for using both the first wireless communication method and the second wireless communication method. When a common apparatus has been found by both the first wireless communication method and the second wireless communication method, the common apparatus is decided as the apparatus to be caused to execute the predetermined processing by the second wireless communication method.
Claims21
An information processing device capable of executing a first wireless communication method and a second wireless communication method having a communication range wider than that of the first wireless communication method, comprising:
- a display unit configured to display a plurality of images,
- a first communication unit configured to search for an apparatus by using the first wireless communication method, after one or more images are selected by a user from the plurality of images displayed by the display unit;
- a second communication unit configured to search for the apparatus by using the second wireless communication method, after the one or more images are selected by the user from the plurality of images displayed by the display unit;
- and
- a transmitting unit configured to transmit data corresponding to the one or more images, to the apparatus via the second communication unit,
- wherein, in a case where said first communication unit has found the apparatus, said transmitting unit transmits the data to the apparatus by using information which is obtained by the first wireless communication method and which is for a communication according to the second wireless communication method,
- and wherein, in a case where said second communication unit has found the apparatus and the apparatus is designated by the user, said transmitting unit transmits the data to the apparatus.
A control method of an information processing device capable of executing a first wireless communication method and a second wireless communication method having a communication range wider than that of the first wireless communication method, the method comprising:
- a display step of displaying a plurality of images,
- a first communication step of searching for an apparatus by using the first wireless communication method, after one or more images are selected by a user from the plurality of displayed images;
- a second communication step of searching for the apparatus by using the second wireless communication method, after the one or more images are selected by the user from the plurality of displayed images;
- and
- a transmitting step of transmitting data corresponding to the one or more images, to the apparatus via the second wireless communication method,
- wherein, in a case where said first communication step has found the apparatus, said transmitting step transmits the data to the apparatus by using information which is obtained by the first wireless communication method and which is for a communication according to the second wireless communication method,
- and wherein, in a case where the second communication step has found the apparatus and the apparatus is designated by the user, said transmitting step transmits the data to the apparatus.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute:
- a display step of displaying a plurality of images,
- a first communication step of searching for an apparatus by using a first wireless communication method, after one or more images are selected by a user from the plurality of displayed images;
- a second communication step of searching for the apparatus by using a second wireless communication method having a communication range wider than that of the first wireless communication method, after the one or more images are selected by the user from the plurality of displayed image;
- and
- a transmitting step of transmitting data corresponding to the one or more images, to the apparatus via the second wireless communication method,
- wherein, in a case where said first communication step has found the apparatus, said transmitting step transmits the data to the apparatus by using information which is obtained by the first wireless communication method and which is for a communication according to the second wireless communication method,
- and wherein, in a case where the second communication step has found the apparatus and the apparatus is designated by the user, said transmitting step transmits the data to the apparatus.
