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 4):
A communication apparatus comprising:\n an acquisition unit configured to acquire information associated with a second different communication apparatus from a captured image; a determination unit configured to determine whether a connection method indicated by the information acquired by the acquisition unit is a first connection method or a second connection method, the first connection method being a connection method in which a connection is made between the communication apparatus and the second different communication apparatus to make the second different communication apparatus to acquire 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 operates as an creating apparatus that creates a wireless network or as a joining apparatus that joins a created wireless network, and a control unit configured to perform control such that in a case where the determination unit determines that the connection method is the first connection method, the communication apparatus waits for a search signal transmitted from the second different communication apparatus to come in a predetermined channel in which the communication apparatus operates, while in a case where the determination unit determines that the connection method is the second connection method, the communication apparatus searches for the second different communication apparatus in particular part of a plurality of channels usable by the communication apparatus, wherein in the case where the determination unit determines that the connection method is the first connection method, the communication parameter for use by the access point to create the wireless network is provided to the second different communication apparatus that has transmitted the search signal on the predetermined channel, while in the case where the determination unit determines that the connection method is the second connection method, a communication parameter for wireless communication is shared between the communication apparatus and the retrieved second different communication apparatus.
