Abstract
A communication apparatus performs specific operation before turning off the power of the communication apparatus. When a request for communication task is detected, the communication apparatus determines whether execution of the communication task can be extended at a later time. When execution of the communication task can be extended, the communication apparatus extends execution of the communication task to a later time. When an instruction for turning off the power of the communication apparatus is received, the communication apparatus executes the requested communication task while performing the specific operation.
