20140185602 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - According to an instruction for starting processing for connecting to another communication apparatus, a communication apparatus prompts a user to select whether the communication apparatus joins an existing network or establishes a new network, searches another communication apparatus establishing the existing network when the user selects to join the existing network, searches another communication apparatus not establishing the existing network when the user selects to establish the new network, and then connects to the another searched communication apparatus. | 07-03-2014 |
20140325049 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A communication apparatus acquires information about a service provided by another communication apparatus and identifies a service executable between the communication apparatus and the another communication apparatus based on the acquired information and a service executable by the communication apparatus. If a plurality of services is identified, the communication apparatus controls a port corresponding to each of the plurality of the identified services. | 10-30-2014 |
20140330967 | COMMUNICATION DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD FOR COMMUNICATION DEVICE, AND PROGRAM - A communication device capable of handling, even in the case where requests for provision of a service are received from a plurality of devices, the requests appropriately, is provided. | 11-06-2014 |
20140334340 | COMMUNICATION DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE COMMUNICATION DEVICE, AND PROGRAM - An object is to perform connection control for a wireless layer appropriate for service execution in an application layer. | 11-13-2014 |
20140369331 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A communication apparatus operating as an access point on a network receives a signal transmitted by a communication apparatus on the network, transfers the signal to another communication apparatus on the network, and transmits, in response to a request signal, a response signal containing function information of the communication apparatus operating as the access point to a transmission source communication apparatus of the request signal on the network, which has transmitted the request signal. The communication apparatus controls transfer so that the transmission source communication apparatus of the request signal receives no response signal from a communication apparatus other than the communication apparatus operating as the access point on the network. | 12-18-2014 |
20150106533 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A communication apparatus comprises a first assignment unit configured to, with respect to a first other communication apparatus that is connected to a wireless network created by the communication apparatus, assign an address based on a first address assignment method; a second assignment unit configured to assign an address to the first other communication apparatus based on a second address assignment method that is different from the first address assignment method; and a control unit configured to perform control such that activation of the first assignment unit is prevented if an address has been assigned to the first other communication apparatus by the second assignment unit. | 04-16-2015 |
20150334749 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A communication apparatus, which has a base station function and a terminal function and performs communication using at least one of the base station function and the terminal function, includes an identification unit and a decision unit. The identification unit identifies, for communication, a partner apparatus among one or more other communication apparatuses based on a service to be executed by the communication apparatus and services to be executed by the one or more other communication apparatuses. The decision unit decides whether the communication apparatus uses the base station function or the terminal function when connecting to the partner apparatus, based on execution states of base station functions and terminal functions of the communication apparatus and the partner apparatus. | 11-19-2015 |
20160007395 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - A communication apparatus determines whether the communication apparatus is to operate as a transmission apparatus for transmitting service data to be transferred by a service performed via a network, or operate as both the transmission apparatus for transmitting the service data to be transferred by the service performed via the network and a reception apparatus for receiving the service data to be transferred by the service performed via the network, terminates a connection with a communication partner apparatus in response to completion of transmission of the service data if the communication apparatus operates as the transmission apparatus, and terminates the connection with the communication partner apparatus in response to a user operation if the communication apparatus operates as both the transmission apparatus and the reception apparatus. | 01-07-2016 |
20160007396 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR THE COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM - A communication apparatus in which a service can more efficiently used is provided. The communication apparatus searches for an apparatus that provides a particular service and establishes a wireless connection to the other searched communication apparatus. Subsequently, an address of the other connected communication apparatus is obtained from the other communication apparatus, and the service provided by the other communication apparatus is used using the obtained address. | 01-07-2016 |
