A communication apparatus that participates in a network includes a first communication unit which establishes communication with a data processing apparatus via the network and performs data communication with the data processing apparatus according to a first communication method, a control unit controlling execution of a plurality of applications including an application for communicating with the data processing apparatus, a reception unit receiving an instruction for switching the application, and a determination unit, if the reception unit has received an instruction for switching the application to another application while the first communication unit has established communication with the data processing apparatus according to the first communication method, determining whether the another application indicated as a switching destination by the received instruction requires connection to the Internet. The control unit controls whether to cut off the established communication which uses the first communication method depending on a result of the determination.

Communication apparatus capable of wirelessly communicating with another apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium

A display control apparatus is provided that performs control to display an image on a display unit, and that displays a plurality of lines in such a manner that the plurality of lines are superimposed on the image displayed on the display unit, displays, when an arrangement change operation is being performed on any line of the plurality of displayed lines, arrangement information regarding arrangement of each of the lines, the arrangement information displayed in a superimposed manner, and then, executes at least processing for displaying an operation target line to be distinguishable from an operation non-target line, or processing for displaying arrangement information of the operation target line to be distinguishable from arrangement information of the operation non-target line.

In a communication system comprising a first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus, the first communication apparatus transmits a first notification for connection processing in short-range wireless communication during an operation in a first power mode, and transmits a second notification, different from the first notification, for the connection processing in the short-range wireless communication during an operation in a second power mode in which power is saved more than in the first power mode. The second communication apparatus starts, if the first notification is received, the connection processing at an arbitrary timing, and starts, if the second notification is received, the connection processing at a timing restricted as compared to the case in which the first notification is received.

An information processing apparatus including a plurality of installed application programs activates, when a first application program is executed for using data, a second application program used to obtain the data from an external apparatus. A process of connection to the external apparatus is executed by executing the second application program, and a data format and attribute information stored in the external apparatus are obtained from the external apparatus by executing the second application program. The attribute information on data stored in the external apparatus is displayed on a screen of the second application program such that a result of a determination as to whether the data is usable by the first application program is recognizable based on a format stored in the memory and a format obtained from the external apparatus by executing the second application program.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

A communication apparatus comprises a processor configured to perform the operations of following units: while the communication apparatus has joined a first network, a first receiving unit configured to receive a first signal being transmitted from a first apparatus that has joined the first network and the first signal including information pertaining to the first apparatus; a second receiving unit configured to receive a second signal including information of a second network formed by a second apparatus; and a display control unit configured to display a selection screen for selecting an apparatus with which to establish a predetermined communication, wherein the display control unit displays the information of the first apparatus and the information of the second apparatus determined to meet a predetermined condition in the selection screen as information of candidate apparatuses with which the predetermined communication may be established.

Communication apparatus capable of establishing communication with multiple devices, control method thereof, and storage medium

An interchangeable-lens image capture apparatus receives, from an external device, a command to control a zoom adapter for mechanically driving a zoom mechanism in an interchangeable lens from outside the interchangeable lens. The image capture apparatus then transmits the received command to the zoom adapter through the interchangeable lens. A zoom operation can be remotely performed from the external device on a manual zoom lens attached to the interchangeable-lens image capture apparatus, which has a function of communicating with the external device.

Image capture apparatus, lens unit, driver device, electronic device, and capturing system including the same

A communication apparatus comprises: a communication unit configured to communicate with a recording apparatus having storage medium and capable of accepting an operation on the content data stored in the storage medium via communication; a registration unit configured to register a predetermined recording apparatus; and a control unit configured to perform control for receiving the content data stored in the storage medium, and to control predetermined processing for causing the recording apparatus to delete the content data stored in the storage medium, wherein the control unit, in a case where the recording apparatus is the predetermined recording apparatus registered by the registration unit, performs control so as to perform the predetermined processing for causing the content data stored in the storage medium to be deleted.

Communication apparatus, control method thereof, storage medium, and communication system

An information processing apparatus which communicates with an external apparatus having a face authentication function, comprises a unit which acquires a type of the authentication function of the external apparatus from the external apparatus; a unit which receives image data held in the external apparatus and a face feature amount used by the external apparatus for the authentication function; and a unit which controls, in accordance with a result of comparing a type of a face authentication function of the information processing apparatus with the type of the authentication function of the external apparatus, whether to use the received face feature amount for the authentication function of the information processing apparatus, or to re-generate, from the received image data, a face feature amount corresponding to the type of the authentication function of the information processing apparatus.
