Abstract:
A communication apparatus may determine whether specific apparatus identification information for identifying a specific external apparatus is stored in a memory in a case where the specific apparatus identification information is received via a second interface from the specific external apparatus, shift an operating state of the communication apparatus from a non-parent station state to a parent station state in a case where it is determined that the specific apparatus identification information is stored in the memory, receive a wireless connection request from the specific external apparatus via a first interface after the operating state has been shifted from the non-parent station state to the parent station state, and form the wireless network in which the communication apparatus operates as the parent station and the specific external apparatus operates as a child station, in a case where the wireless connection request is received from the specific external apparatus.

Claim (Index 20):
A method implemented by a communication apparatus having a first interface configured to perform a wireless communication according to a first communication scheme, a second interface configured to perform a wireless communication according to a second communication scheme different from the first communication scheme; and a memory, the memory configured to store first information, the method comprising:\n receiving second information via the second interface from an external apparatus; determining whether the received second information corresponds to the stored first information in a case where the second information is received via the second interface from the external apparatus; shifting an operating state of the communication apparatus from a non-parent station state to a parent station state in a case where it is determined that the second information corresponds to the first information, the parent station state being a state in which the communication apparatus operates as a parent station of a wireless network for performing a wireless communication via the first interface and the non-parent station state being a state different from the parent station state, wherein the operating state of the communication apparatus is maintained in the non-parent station state in a case where it is determined that the second information does not correspond to the first information; and establishing a first wireless connection with the external apparatus via the first interface so as to form the wireless network in which the communication apparatus operates as the parent station and the external apparatus operates as a child station, after the operating state of the communication apparatus has been shifted from the non-parent station state to the parent station state.
