[0014] Below, will refer to figure 1 A communication device according to the first embodiment will be described. The communication device is a printer in this embodiment, but may be any device capable of communicating with an information processing device described later. Examples of communication devices include various printers such as inkjet printers, full-color laser beam printers, and monochrome printers, copiers, facsimile devices, mobile terminals, smart phones, notebook personal computers (PCs), tablet terminals, personal digital assistants ( PDAs), digital cameras, and multifunction devices with copying, faxing, and printing functions. The information processing device is a PC in this embodiment, but may be, for example, a mobile terminal, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a PDA, or a digital camera.

[0015] First, refer to figure 1 The block diagram in , to describe the structure of the communication device according to the embodiment. Although in the present emb...

[0042] In the first embodiment, an exemplary case where the soft AP mode is terminated when there is a USB connection is described. In the second embodiment, an exemplary case will be described in which, when there is a USB connection, the user is asked whether to set the communication mode for the communication device, and in accordance with the answer from the user, whether to terminate the soft AP mode is performed. Sure.

[0043] Figure 5 is a flowchart illustrating processing performed by the communication device 100 according to the present embodiment at the time of initial setup. The processing is realized by causing the CPU 101 to load the control program concerning the processing stored in the ROM 102 or the HDD 117 into the RAM 103 and execute the control program. The processing from step S501 to step S513 is the same as the processing from step S301 to step S313, and thus, repeated description will be omitted.

Abstract

The invention provides a communication device and a control method. The communication device communicates with an information processing device, and the communication device includes: a switching unit for switching between an invalid state and a valid state of an access point in the communication device; and a setting unit based on Information acquired from the information processing device to which the communication device is connected via the access point that has been shifted to the valid state by the switching unit, for which the communication device is set to be able to use the first The connection method is a communication mode for communicating with the information processing device. The switching unit does not bring the access point into an active state when the communication device is connected to the information processing device using a second connection method different from the first connection method, but during the communication When a device is not connected to the information processing device using the second connection method, the access point can be brought into an active state.

Description

technical field [0001] Aspects of the present invention generally relate to communication devices, control methods, and computer-readable media. Background technique [0002] There are known communication devices capable of establishing communication using various connection methods such as Universal Serial Bus (USB) (registered trademark) connection and wireless connection. For such a communication device, a communication mode is set in which connection to the information processing device is performed using one of these connection methods. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-359623 discloses a communication device capable of receiving communication information from an information processing device and automatically setting a communication mode based on the communication information. [0003] However, for example, in the case where the connection method of such a communication device is predetermined, it is not necessary to set the communication mode. At this time, it is c...
