Abstract
A communication apparatus includes a first communication portion configured to perform wireless communications with an external apparatus based on a Bluetooth Low Energy communication scheme, and at least one processor configured to cause the communication apparatus to act as a first determiner that determines whether an auto power-on function of powering on the communication apparatus under a predetermined condition even when the communication apparatus is in a powered-off state is set to be enabled. In a case where the first determiner determines that the auto power-on function is set to be enabled, the first communication portion disconnects, in response to a power-off instruction, connection to the external apparatus, which has been established based on the Bluetooth Low Energy communication scheme, and transmits advertising information that allows a response based on the Bluetooth Low Energy communication scheme to be received.
