Abstract

This invention provides a communication apparatus including a wireless communication unit and an interface conforming to USB 3.0 standard, where the apparatus comprises a first determination unit which determines whether an external device has been connected to the interface; a second determination unit which determines a frequency band used in the wireless communication unit; a discrimination unit which, when it is determined that an external device has been connected to the interface, discriminates whether the frequency of noise generated in the communication with the external device causes interference with the frequency band of the wireless communication determined by the second determination unit; and a control unit which, if the discrimination result indicates that interfere is to be caused, performs control so as to communicate with the external device by driving the interface in accordance with the USB 2.0 standard.
