Abstract
A communication apparatus includes a recording medium having recorded therein an operating system OS, a first application that operates on the OS, and a second application that operates on the OS. The first application causes a processor to request the OS to establish connection for communication between the first application and an external apparatus, obtain identification information of the external apparatus, and store the identification information into a data sharing area provided by the OS. The second application causes the processor to obtain the identification information from the data sharing area, and based on the identification information, perform connection control for establishing connection for communication between the second application and the external apparatus.
