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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18330095 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The communication apparatus described in this patent application is designed to connect to multiple networks and switch between waiting for connections and searching for other networks. Here are the key points:

  • The apparatus waits for connections from other communication devices on a first network it has built.
  • It acquires connection information from a first other communication device connected to the first network.
  • It searches for a second network built by other communication devices.
  • It acquires connection information from a second other communication device found in the search.
  • It connects to a connection destination indicated by the connection information from both the first and second communication devices.
  • The apparatus can switch between waiting for connections and searching for the second network.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices that need to connect to multiple networks.
  • Communication devices in smart homes or smart cities that need to switch between different networks for optimal connectivity.
  • Mobile devices that can seamlessly switch between different Wi-Fi networks or cellular networks.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the process of connecting to multiple networks by automatically acquiring connection information from other devices.
  • Enables efficient network switching without manual intervention.
  • Improves connectivity and reduces downtime by quickly finding and connecting to the best available network.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced connectivity and seamless network switching for improved user experience.
  • Simplified setup and configuration process for connecting to multiple networks.
  • Increased efficiency and productivity by automatically finding and connecting to the best network available.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication apparatus includes at least one memory storing instructions, and at least one processor that, upon execution of the instructions, is configured to: wait for connections from other communication apparatuses to a first network built by the communication apparatus, acquire connection information from a first other communication apparatus connected to the first network, search for a second network built by other communication apparatuses, acquire connection information from a second other communication apparatus found in the search, connect to a connection destination indicated by the connection information from the first other communication apparatus and the second other communication apparatus, and wherein the communication apparatus is controlled to switch between waiting for connections and searching for the second network.
