1. A communication apparatus comprising:
- a central processing unit;
a processing unit configured to execute communication-parameter sharing processing for transmission of a communication parameter directly to a receiving apparatus from a providing apparatus, wherein the communication-parameter sharing processing is started in response to a user instruction;
a determining unit configured to determine, in a case where the communication apparatus is executing the communication-parameter sharing processing as the providing apparatus, whether there exists another apparatus that has executed the communication-parameter sharing processing; and
a cancel unit configured to cancel, in a case where there are plural apparatuses that are executing the communication-parameter sharing processing and the communication apparatus is operating as the providing apparatus, the execution of the communication-parameter sharing processing by the processing unit as an error,wherein at least one of the processing unit, the determining unit, and the cancel unit is implemented by the central processing unit.

Abstract
In order to prevent a communication-parameter automatic setting process from being performed by unintended communication apparatuses, a communication terminal having detected a plurality of communication-parameter providing apparatuses sends a notification indicating that the plurality of providing apparatuses exist to another terminal.

11. A method of controlling a communication apparatus having a processing unit configured to execute communication-parameter sharing processing for transmission of a communication parameter directly to a receiving apparatus from a providing apparatus, wherein the communication-parameter sharing processing is started in response to a user instruction, the method comprising:
-
determining, in a case where the communication apparatus is executing the communication-parameter sharing processing as the providing apparatus, whether there exists another apparatus that has executed the communication-parameter sharing processing; and canceling, in a case where there are plural apparatuses that are executing the communication-parameter sharing processing and the communication apparatus is operating as the providing apparatus, the execution of the communication-parameter sharing processing by the processing unit as an error.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to cause controlling of a communication apparatus having a processing unit configured to execute communication-parameter sharing processing for transmission of a communication parameter directly to a receiving apparatus from a providing apparatus, wherein the communication-parameter sharing processing is started in response to a user instruction, the method comprising:
-
determining, in a case where the communication apparatus is executing the communication-parameter sharing processing as the providing apparatus, whether there exists another apparatus that has executed the communication-parameter sharing processing; and canceling, in a case where there are plural apparatuses that are executing the communication-parameter sharing processing and the communication apparatus is operating as the providing apparatus, the execution of the communication-parameter sharing processing by the processing unit as an error.
