Abstract: A communication apparatus capable of communication with another communication apparatus inside a NAN (Neighbor Awareness Networking) cluster in a network compliant with a NAN standard, holds a use history of a service previously used by the communication apparatus, determines, in a case where the communication apparatus uses a service, whether a use history of the service is being held, and if it is determined that a use history of the service is being held, performs a search for the service without performing processing to detect a NAN cluster, and, if it is determined that a use history of the service is not being held, performs processing to detect a NAN cluster and search for the service after detecting the NAN cluster.

Abstract: A communication apparatus establishes, in parallel, a first wireless connection for connecting to a first target apparatus via an external apparatus and second wireless connection for directly connecting to a second target apparatus without the external apparatus. The communication apparatus includes a processor executing instructions to use a first communication protocol needing an anti-conflict measure or a second communication protocol not needing the anti-conflict measure. In a case where a first communication protocol is used, after the first wireless connection has been disconnected during the first wireless connection and the second wireless connection being maintained in parallel, information for stopping the communication is sent to the second target apparatus, and then reconnection processing with the first target apparatus is performed and the second target apparatus is notified of information related to reconnection.

Abstract: A communication apparatus capable of parallelly establishing first wireless connection for connecting to a first communication target apparatus via an external apparatus and second wireless connection for directly connecting to a second communication target apparatus without going through the external apparatus, the apparatus comprises: a control unit that controls, if wireless connection with the first communication target apparatus is disconnected, and reconnection is made with the first communication target apparatus when wireless connection to the first communication target apparatus and wireless connection to the second communication target apparatus are established parallelly, whether to notify the second communication target apparatus of the reconnection in accordance with a communication protocol used in the second wireless connection.

Abstract: The following processes are executed in order to restrict an execution of a job based on job data formed by using a driver other than a specified device driver. The device driver which formed the received job data is specified. Whether or not use of the device driver is permitted is discriminated. If it is decided that the use of the device driver is not permitted, the execution of the job based on the received job data is restricted.
