COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A communication apparatus comprising:
- a search unit configured to perform search processing for detecting a base station which can provide a communication parameter and a base station configured with a communication parameter different from a communication parameter set at a time of initialization;
a selection unit configured to select a base station which is to be connected such that the communication parameter can be received, based on a result of the search executed by the search unit; and
a reception unit configured to receive a communication parameter from the base station selected by the selection unit or from an external apparatus that communicates with the base station.

Abstract
A communication apparatus (receiving apparatus) configured to receive a communication parameter selects, when an access point itself is active as a providing apparatus or the communication apparatus detects an access point (active access point) that is communicable with an active providing apparatus, the access point as the access point to be connected using wireless connection. If the communication apparatus does not detect an active access point, the communication apparatus selects an access point (setup-completed access point) which is configured with a communication parameter that is different from the one that is set at the time of initialization, as the access point to be connected using wireless connection.

9. A control method of a communication apparatus comprising:
-
performing search processing for detecting a base station which can provide a communication parameter and a base station configured with a communication parameter different from a communication parameter set at a time of initialization; selecting a base station to be connected based on the search result; and connecting to the selected base station and receiving a communication parameter from the base station or an external apparatus that communicates with the base station.

10. A computer-readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions which, when run on a computer, cause said computer to execute a control method, the instructions comprise:
-
instructions to perform search processing for detecting a base station which can provide a communication parameter and a base station configured with a communication parameter different from a communication parameter set at a time of initialization; instruction to select a base station to be connected based on the search result; and instructions to connect to the selected base station; and
instructions to receive the a communication parameter from the base station or an external apparatus that communicates with the base station.
