A communication apparatus includes: an attempt unit configured to attempt establishment of first wireless connection between the external access point and the communication apparatus using second information; a start unit configured to start, based on a failure of the attempted establishment of the first wireless connection, an operation in a predetermined mode, in the communication apparatus, for establishing second wireless connection without intervention of the external access point between the information processing apparatus and the communication apparatus; and a connection unit configured to establish the second wireless connection after the start of the operation in the predetermined mode.

Communication apparatus, control method, and system

A method of an information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus configured to communicate with a communication apparatus and the method performed by executing a first application. The method including: receiving first information concerning the communication apparatus, displaying, based on it being determined that the communication apparatus is not able to connect to a first network based on the first information, information concerning a second network which is different from the first network and to which the communication apparatus is able to connect, based on the first information, and starting a second application which is an application different from the first application and which transmits, to the communication apparatus via a communication with the communication apparatus, connection information which is used for the communication apparatus to connect to any one of networks.

Communication apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium

A communication apparatus capable of performing near field communication acquires communication information of a target apparatus through the near field communication, determines whether or not the target apparatus is connected to an access point to which the communication apparatus is connected, on the basis of the communication information, and accepts the target apparatus as a target to which the communication apparatus is to be connected by using a peer-to-peer communication system, when it is determined that the target apparatus is not connected to the access point to which the communication apparatus is connected.

Communication apparatus capable of carrying out near field communication with a target apparatus, control method, and program

An information processing apparatus configured to communicate with a communication apparatus includes a first control unit configured to perform first control to control the information processing apparatus to transmit connection information, for connecting to a first access point, to the communication apparatus via communication with the communication apparatus using a first protocol in a case where the communication apparatus is connectable to the first access point, and a second control unit configured to perform second control to control the information processing apparatus to transmit connection information, for connecting to a second access point different from the first access point, to the communication apparatus via communication with the communication apparatus using a second protocol different from the first protocol based on a fact that the communication apparatus is not configured to connect to the first access point.

Information processing apparatus, control method thereof, and storage medium

A control method of an information processing device that is capable of performing communication by Wi-Fi® and communication by Bluetooth® includes accepting a predetermined instruction based on a user operation to the information processing device, executing, after the predetermined instruction is accepted, displaying processing that displays a predetermined screen that is a screen for allowing the information processing device to communicate with a communication device by Wi-Fi® based on a fact that the information processing device is not able to perform communication with the communication device by Wi-Fi®, and executing, after the predetermined instruction is accepted, communication processing that communicates, with the communication device by Bluetooth®, predetermined information for establishing a wireless connection of the communication device by Wi-Fi®.

Information processing device, control method, and recording medium

An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire, via communication with a communication apparatus based on Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 using a first protocol, predetermined information for performing communication with the communication apparatus based on IEEE 802.11 using a second protocol; and a control unit configured to perform predetermined control to control the information processing apparatus to transmit connection information, for connecting to an access point, to the communication apparatus via communication with the communication apparatus that is performed using the predetermined information based on IEEE 802.11 using the second protocol.

Wireless communication processing in an information processing device

A control method for an information processing apparatus includes transmitting, by a first communication unit, information about an access point to which a second communication unit is connected, to a communication apparatus to which the first communication unit is connected. In a case where the information about the access point to which the second communication unit is connected is received, the communication apparatus connects to and communicates with the access point to which the second communication unit is connected by the second wireless communication method.

Information processing apparatus, control method for information processing apparatus, and control method for communication system

An information processing apparatus capable of communicating using a first communication method and communicating using a second communication method performs, in a case where attempting processing fails to establish a connection with a communication apparatus using the first communication method without using an external apparatus, communication with the communication apparatus by the second communication method and transmits a job to the communication apparatus via the connection with the communication apparatus using the first communication method, the communication being used to establish the connection with the communication apparatus using the first communication method.

Information processing apparatus and control method

A control method of an information processing device that communicates with a communication device includes accepting a connection processing instruction to connect the communication device with at least one external device, and performing processing to execute newly, in a case that the connection processing instruction is accepted and the communication device is not connected to any external device, the connection processing.

Communication apparatus, control method, and program for connecting at least two types of wireless communication units according to an operative state of an access point

An information processing apparatus, which communicates with a plurality of communication apparatuses each belonging to one of a plurality of groups, receives a predetermined signal sent from each of the plurality of communication apparatuses, specifies a first group, among the plurality of groups, that satisfies a predetermined condition, and executes processing based on the predetermined signal sent from a communication apparatus belonging to the first group satisfying the predetermined condition, and does not execute the processing based on the predetermined signal sent from a communication apparatus belonging to a second group different from the first group. The first group is specified on the basis of that the first group includes greater than or equal to a predetermined percentage or greater than or equal to a predetermined number of communication apparatuses that sent the predetermined signal received by the information processing apparatus.
