COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17964105 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a communication apparatus that performs short-range wireless communication and a second communication different from the short-range wireless communication. It detects a partner apparatus using the short-range wireless communication and obtains a public key from the partner apparatus using the second communication. Authentication processing is then executed with the partner apparatus using the obtained public key, and if successful, sharing processing with the partner apparatus is performed.

  • The communication apparatus performs short-range wireless communication.
  • It also performs a second communication different from the short-range wireless communication.
  • It detects a partner apparatus using the short-range wireless communication.
  • It obtains a public key from the partner apparatus using the second communication.
  • Authentication processing is executed with the partner apparatus using the obtained public key.
  • If the authentication processing succeeds, sharing processing with the partner apparatus is executed.

Potential Applications

  • Secure communication between devices in a network.
  • Sharing communication parameters for joining a network securely.

Problems Solved

  • Ensuring secure communication between devices.
  • Simplifying the process of sharing communication parameters for network joining.

Benefits

  • Enhanced security in communication between devices.
  • Streamlined process for sharing communication parameters.
  • Improved efficiency in network joining.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication apparatus performs short range wireless communication, performs a second communication different from the short range wireless communication, detects, by using the short range wireless communication, a partner apparatus with which sharing processing for sharing a communication parameter used for joining a network is to be performed, and obtains, from the partner apparatus detected, a public key by using the second communication. Authentication processing with the partner apparatus is executed by using the public key obtained, and in a case where the authentication processing succeeds, the sharing processing with the partner apparatus is executed.
