This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18305493 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a communication apparatus that can establish wireless connections with an external access point and an information processing apparatus.

  • The communication apparatus attempts to establish a wireless connection with the external access point using certain information.
  • If the attempt to establish the first wireless connection fails, the communication apparatus enters a predetermined mode of operation.
  • In this mode, the communication apparatus can establish a second wireless connection directly with the information processing apparatus, without the need for the external access point.
  • Once the predetermined mode is initiated, the communication apparatus establishes the second wireless connection.
