Abstract:
A communication apparatus includes one or more computers that cause the communication apparatus to: accept a first instruction at the communication apparatus from a user, perform, in response to accepting the first instruction, a first search process for searching, over a plurality of channels, a first other communication apparatus by a first method complying with a communication standard other than a Wi-Fi Alliance Neighbor Awareness Networking standard, and a second search process, which is performed after the first search process, for searching a wireless network and a second other communication apparatus which is in the wireless network, by a second method. Each of the wireless network, the second other communication apparatus, and the second method is compliant with the Wi-Fi Alliance Neighbor Awareness Networking standard, and performs, after performing the second search process, the first search process without further accepting an instruction from the user.
