COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, METHOD OF SHARING, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18504074 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, METHOD OF SHARING, AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The communication apparatus described in the patent application includes a first notification unit, a second notification unit, a reception unit, and a sharing unit.

  • The first notification unit provides unique information about the communication apparatus and information on a predetermined channel for sharing a communication parameter wirelessly with another communication apparatus.
  • The second notification unit provides unique information about the communication apparatus but does not include information on the predetermined channel.
  • The reception unit waits to receive a predetermined signal corresponding to the unique information of the communication apparatus without changing channels when the first information is provided.
  • The reception unit waits to receive the predetermined signal using multiple channels when the second information is provided.
  • The sharing unit shares the communication parameter with the different communication apparatus when the predetermined signal is received.

Original Abstract Submitted

A communication apparatus includes a first notification unit, a second notification unit, a reception unit, and a sharing unit. The first notification unit provides first information containing information unique to the communication apparatus and information on a predetermined channel for use in sharing a communication parameter for wireless communication with a different communication apparatus. The second notification unit provides second information containing the information unique to the communication apparatus but not containing information on the predetermined channel. When the first information is provided, the reception unit waits to receive a predetermined signal containing information corresponding to the information unique to the communication apparatus without shifting to another channel. When the second information is provided, the reception unit waits to receive the predetermined signal using a plurality of channels. When the predetermined signal is provided, the sharing unit shares the communication parameter with the different communication apparatus.
