Abstract:
An apparatus controls a connection state of communications by a first communication circuit and communications by a second communication circuit according to characteristics of data to be transmitted and received by the second communication circuit. In a case where a characteristic of the data to be transmitted and received is a first characteristic, communications with an information processing apparatus by the second communication circuit while maintaining the connection state with the information processing apparatus by the first communication circuit. In a case where a characteristic of the data to be transmitted and received by the second communication circuit is a second characteristic, after disconnecting connection with the information processing apparatus by the first communication circuit, communications with the information processing apparatus by the second communication circuit.
