1. A communication device comprising:
- a search unit configured to search for a communication parameter providing device configured to provide a communication parameter; and
a transmission unit configured to transmit, in a case where the search unit detects a plurality of communication parameter providing devices configured to provide a communication parameter, a message for stopping an operation as a communication parameter providing device to the plurality of communication parameter providing devices,wherein the transmission unit transmits the message in a case where the plurality of communication parameter providing devices are present in different networks.

Abstract
Even when a plurality of communication parameter providing devices exist, a communication parameter setting process is enabled.
When a plurality of communication parameter providing devices exist, one of the communication parameter providing devices is determined. For example, all the communication parameter providing devices are caused to stop the providing process. Alternatively, a user is allowed to select a communication parameter providing device. Alternatively, a communication parameter providing device is determined in accordance with a predetermined rule.
