Benefits of technology

The invention allows people to easily make communication settings, including a method for controlling it. This simplifies the process of connecting devices and exchanging information.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2014-050015, there is a case where the communication settings cannot be made for the MFP and the mobile terminal.
For example, if one of the MFP and the mobile terminal is not equipped with the NFC function, NFC cannot be performed between the MFP and the mobile terminal, and as a result, it is impossible to make communication settings for the MFP and the mobile terminal with ease.

Abstract

An information processing apparatus which makes it possible to make communication settings with ease. A mobile terminal as the information processing apparatus includes a Bluetooth controller that causes a Bluetooth communication section to receive a packet, a CPU that generates a device list, based on the packet, a display section that displays the device list. The CPU selects a device from the device list based on a received radio field intensity of the packet or selects a device from the device list based on a selection operation by a user. The mobile terminal further includes a wireless LAN controller that cause a wireless LAN communication section to transmit data to the selected device.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, a method of controlling the information processing apparatus, and a storage medium, and more particularly to an information processing apparatus that enables communication settings to be made with ease by wireless communication, a method of controlling the information processing apparatus, and a storage medium.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]When performing various data communication between a data communication apparatus, such as an MFP, and a mobile terminal, such as a smartphone or a tablet PC, wireless communication based on various communication standards is performed according to communication settings of the MFP and the mobile terminal. In data communication, in a case where communication of large-volume data is performed, communication, such as Wi-Fi communication using the standard of Wi-Fi, is performed. On the other hand, in a ...
