Communication apparatus

A second communication apparatus for performing wireless communication with a first communication apparatus, the second communication apparatus comprising:

• a memory storing a predetermined wireless setting;
• a work memory;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute instructions which, when executed, cause the second communication apparatus to:
• store a current wireless setting in the work memory;
• output a communication confirmation by using the current wireless setting;
• determine whether a first response to the communication confirmation has been received in a predetermined time period;
• if it is determined that the first response has been received in the predetermined time period, perform wireless communication with the first communication apparatus by using the current wireless setting and transmit first target data to the first communication apparatus by using the current wireless setting;
• if it is determined that the first response to the communication confirmation has not been received in the predetermined time period, in response to receiving a probe request, transmit a predetermined service set identifier (SSID) to the first communication apparatus and transmit the first target data to the first communication apparatus by using the predetermined wireless setting, the predetermined SSID being included in the predetermined wireless setting stored in the memory;
• if it is determined that the first response to the communication confirmation has not been received in the predetermined time period and there does not exist said first target data, maintain the current wireless setting.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a computer program for a first communication apparatus to perform wireless communication with a second communication apparatus, the first communication apparatus including a memory storing a predetermined wireless setting, which is assigned to the second communication apparatus, a work memory and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the processor enabling a computer, which is mounted to the first communication apparatus, to execute:

• storing a current wireless setting in the work memory;
• outputting a communication confirmation by using the current wireless setting;
• determining whether a first response to the communication confirmation has been received in a predetermined time period;
• if it is determined that the first response to the communication confirmation has been received in the predetermined time period, performing wireless communication with the second communication apparatus by using the current wireless setting and receiving first target data from the second communication apparatus by using the current wireless setting;
• if it is determined that the first response to the communication confirmation has not been received in the predetermined time period, outputting a probe request and
• determining whether a second response to the probe request has been received;
• if it is determined that the second response to the probe request has not been received, maintain the current wireless setting;
• if it determined that the second response to the probe request has been received, further determining whether the second response includes a particular service set identifier (SSID) including a specific character string corresponding to the predetermined wireless setting stored in the memory;
• if it is determined that the second response to the probe request includes the particular SSID, establishing wireless communication with the second communication apparatus by using the predetermined wireless setting and receiving the first target data from the second communication apparatus;
• and
• if it is determined that the second response to the probe request does not include the particular SSID, maintaining the current wireless setting.
