Information processing apparatus, control method for information processing apparatus, and control method for communication system
First Claim
1. A control method for an information processing apparatus that connects to and communicates with a communication apparatus by a first wireless communication method, and that connects to and communicates with an access point by a second wireless communication method that is able to realize faster communication than the first wireless communication method, the control method comprising:
- receiving, from the communication apparatus, a signal containing connection information for communicating with the communication apparatus by the first wireless communication method;
transmitting, to the communication apparatus, a request for starting communication by the first wireless communication method based on the signal;
establishing a connection between the information processing apparatus and the communication apparatus by the first wireless communication method;
receiving, from the communication apparatus by the first wireless communication method, information concerning one or more access points to which the communication apparatus is able to connect, after the connection between the information processing apparatus and the communication apparatus by the first wireless communication method is established;
displaying a list including the one or more access points on a display, based on the received information concerning the one or more access points;
accepting a selection of one access point from among the one or more access points included in the list; and
transmitting information concerning the selected access point to the communication apparatus by the first wireless communication method,wherein, in a case where the information concerning the selected access point is received, the communication apparatus establishes a connection between the selected access point and the communication apparatus by the second wireless communication method.

Abstract
A control method for an information processing apparatus includes transmitting, by a first communication unit, information about an access point to which a second communication unit is connected, to a communication apparatus to which the first communication unit is connected. In a case where the information about the access point to which the second communication unit is connected is received, the communication apparatus connects to and communicates with the access point to which the second communication unit is connected by the second wireless communication method.
