Communication apparatus, information processing apparatus, and control method for the same
First Claim
1. A communication apparatus comprising:
- a first communication unit;
a second communication unit that is different from the first communication unit; and
a control unit configured to control processing in which the first and second communication units are used,wherein the control unit performs control such thatinformation regarding an application needed for processing performed using the second communication unit is sent to a first apparatus using the first communication unit,a signal based on the information regarding the application is received using the second communication unit from the first apparatus or a second apparatus connected with the first apparatus and the application is launched in accordance with the signal, andprocessing performed using the second communication unit is executed using the launched application,wherein the second communication unit is a communication unit whose communication distance is shorter than that of the first communication unit.
