Abstract
A communication device comprises a first and second communication circuits capable of establishing a connection with an external device conforming to a first and second communication standards, respectively. The device further comprises a storage device stores information about external device(s) registered in an application that uses communication with an external device. The device, when a reconnection request is received from an external device through the first communication circuit or the second communication circuit, outputs a warning if a registration of the external device in the application has been deleted. It is determined whether the registration of the external device in the application has been deleted based on identification information of the external device. The identification information is obtained through different procedures depending on through which of the first and second communication circuits the reconnection request has been received.
