  • Patent number: 10536856
    Abstract: In a communication control method for wireless communication between a first communication device and a second communication device through a wireless communication unit, identification information is notified from the second communication device to the first communication device by using a communication unit other than the wireless communication unit. Wireless communication between the first and second communication devices is performed by the wireless communication unit using the first communication parameter shared in advance, and authentication processing based on identification information is performed. When authentication is acquired by this authentication processing, the second communication parameter to be set with respect to a wireless communication unit is shared by the first and second communication devices through the above wireless communication.

  • Patent number: 10152289
    Abstract: An event generated in a communication apparatus is sensed. Whether a communication partner apparatus exists in the effective range of a communication unit is detected in accordance with the sensed event. When it is detected that the communication partner apparatus exists in the effective range of the communication unit, application information about an application that operates in the communication partner apparatus is obtained. Activation information including identification information indicating an application to be activated in the communication partner apparatus, and execution information to be executed by the application is transmitted to the communication partner apparatus via the communication unit, based on the obtained application information.
