Abstract:
If a network having the same SSID as but a different BSSID from those of a network that has been established by a first communication apparatus is detected, the network established by the first communication apparatus is terminated and the first communication apparatus participates in the detected network. This makes it possible for the first communication apparatus and another communication apparatus to participate in the same network.

Claim (Index 34):
A method of deciding which role of a first role for generating a wireless network and a second role for participating in a generated wireless network a communication apparatus operates, the method comprising the steps of:\n generating a wireless network when operating in the first role; participating in a generated wireless network when operating in the second role; displaying a screen for selecting whether or not a role determination process is executed; executing the role determination process when it is selected to execute the role determination process on the screen, wherein, in a case where first information set in an another apparatus and first information set in the communication apparatus are the same as each other, the role determination process determines based on second information which of the first role and the second role the communication apparatus operates in, and wherein the value of the second information is set randomly in at least one of the communication apparatus and the another apparatus; and performing, when it is selected to execute the role determination process on the screen, a wireless communication with the another apparatus according to the role determined by the role determination process, and performing, when it is not selected to execute the role determination process on the screen, a wireless communication with the another apparatus using a wireless network of SSID stored in the communication apparatus without executing the role determination process.
