Abstract
A mechanism that enables a device to autonomously control disconnection of communication is needed in situations where document data or photos of variable data size are transmitted and received wirelessly. In a wireless communication system, an image forming apparatus and a mobile terminal wirelessly communicate with each other. The image forming apparatus determines whether or not a predetermined condition is met, in a state where the wireless communication with the mobile terminal has been established. In the case of determining that the predetermined condition is met, the image forming apparatus breaks the wireless connection with the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal, upon detecting that the wireless communication has been disconnected, breaks the wireless connection with the image forming apparatus.
