COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM
First Claim
1. A communication apparatus capable of performing near field communication, the communication apparatus comprising:
- an acquiring unit configured to acquire communication information of a target apparatus through the near field communication;
a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the target apparatus is connected to an access point to which the communication apparatus is connected, on the basis of the communication information; and
an accepting unit configured to accept the target apparatus as a target to which the communication apparatus is to be connected by using a peer-to-peer communication system, when it is determined that the target apparatus is not connected to the access point to which the communication apparatus is connected.
