Abstract:
A communication apparatus selects one of a first connection method and a second connection method, wherein the first connection method is a connection method in which a connection is made between the communication apparatus and a second different communication apparatus to acquire, from the second different communication apparatus, a communication parameter for use by an access point to create a wireless network, while the second connection method is a connection method in which a role determination process is performed. The communication apparatus displays on a display unit an image including information indicating the selected connection method. In a case where the first connection method is selected, the second different communication apparatus is searched for in a plurality of channels usable by the communication apparatus. In a case where the second connection method is selected, the second different communication apparatus is searched for in particular part of the plurality of channels.

Claim (Index 1):
A communication apparatus comprising:\n a selection unit configured to select one of a first connection method and a second connection method, the first connection method being a connection method in which a connection is made between the communication apparatus and a second different communication apparatus to acquire from the second different communication apparatus a communication parameter for use by an access point to create a wireless network, the second connection method being a connection method in which a role determination process is performed to determine whether the communication apparatus is to operate as an creating apparatus that is to create a wireless network or as a joining apparatus that is to join a created wireless network; a display control unit configured to control a display unit to display an image including information indicating the connection method selected by the selection unit; and a search unit configured to search for the second different communication apparatus such that in a case where the first connection method is selected by the selection unit, the second different communication apparatus is searched for on a plurality of channels usable by the communication apparatus, while in a case where the second connection method is selected by the selection unit, the second different communication apparatus is searched for on particular part of the plurality of channels, wherein in the case where the first connection method is selected by the selection unit, the communication parameter for use by the access point to create the wireless network is acquired from the second different communication apparatus retrieved by the search unit, while in the case where the second connection method is selected by the selection unit, a communication parameter for wireless communication is shared between the communication apparatus and the second different communication apparatus retrieved by the search unit.
