Communication apparatus, communication control method, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium
First Claim
1. A communication apparatus comprising:
- a controller provided with a Connectivity Manager function configured to perform data communication with a plurality of communication methods and select an optimal communication method, wherein the controller is configured toreceive a request for data communication; and
regulate the data communication, when the request is received while cellular communication is on, even when a unique user identifier (UID) of the request is a UID of the Connectivity Manager function, so as to prevent cellular communication by the Connectivity Manager function.

Abstract
The present application is directed to a communication apparatus, a communication control method and a non-transitory computer medium that enable a user to more effectively prohibit unauthorized communications. By way of example, a communication apparatus is disclosed that includes a controller provided with a Connectivity Manager function configured to perform data communication with a plurality of communication methods and select an optimal communication method. In various embodiments, the controller is configured to receive a request for data communication, and regulate the data communication, when the request is received while cellular communication is on, even when a unique user identifier (UID) of the request is a UID of the Connectivity Manager function, by preventing cellular communication by the Connectivity Manager function.
