Abstract:
A method for controlling a communication apparatus, includes specifying, before joining a wireless network, an external device that will be a data transmitting source, receiving related information relating to data to be transmitted from the specified external device, determining whether to receive the data to be transmitted based on the received related information, joining a wireless network when it is determined to receive the data to be transmitted, and receiving the data to be transmitted from the specified external device after joining the wireless network.

Claim (Index 1):
A communication apparatus comprising:\n at least one processor; and a wireless communication interface, wherein the at least one processor is configured to function as the following units: a specifying unit configured to, before joining a wireless network, specify an external device that will be a content data transmitting source; a first receiving unit configured to, before joining a wireless network, receive related information relating to content data to be transmitted from the external device specified by the specifying unit via the wireless communication interface; a determination unit configured to, before joining a wireless network, determine whether to receive the content data to be transmitted based on the related information received by the first receiving unit; a network joining control unit configured to control the joining of the communication apparatus into the wireless network; and a second receiving unit configured to receive the content data to be transmitted from the external device specified by the specifying unit via the wireless communication interface after the communication apparatus has joined the wireless network using the network joining control unit, wherein the wireless communication interface is a single common interface used for reception of the related information by the first receiving unit and reception of the content data by the second receiving unit, and wherein the network joining control unit is configured not to make the communication apparatus join the wireless network via the wireless communication interface when the determination unit determines not to receive the content data to be transmitted.
