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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18074620 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a communication apparatus that can connect with an information processing apparatus and an access point. It includes an establishment unit to establish connection with the access point and a control unit to execute predetermined processing when a specific authentication method is used for the connection.

  • The communication apparatus can connect with an information processing apparatus and an access point.
  • It has an establishment unit to establish connection with the access point.
  • The control unit can execute predetermined processing when a specific authentication method is used.
  • The predetermined processing inhibits at least part of communication between the communication apparatus and the information processing apparatus without involving the access point.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in wireless communication devices such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops.
  • It can be implemented in IoT devices to control communication between the device and the information processing apparatus.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of unauthorized communication between the communication apparatus and the information processing apparatus.
  • It provides a way to restrict communication without relying on the access point.

Benefits

  • Enhances security by inhibiting unauthorized communication.
  • Provides control over communication without relying on the access point.
  • Can be used to prevent data breaches or unauthorized access to sensitive information.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication apparatus capable of communicating with an information processing apparatus and an access point, comprises: an establishment unit configured to establish connection between the access point and the communication apparatus; and a control unit configured to execute, based on a fact that an authentication method used for connection between the communication apparatus and the access point is a predetermined authentication method, predetermined processing to inhibit at least part of communication between the communication apparatus and the information processing apparatus without interposing the access point.
