20080316949 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A discrimination unit of a communication apparatus discriminates information on devices configuring a network, and a selection unit of the communication apparatus selects whether or not to execute a process of selecting an antenna to be used in communication, based on the information discriminated by the discrimination unit. The information discriminated by the discrimination unit in the present circumstance is type, the function, the type of power supply, or the remaining battery life, of other communication apparatuses. | 12-25-2008 |
20090046684 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND COMMUNICATION METHOD THEREFOR - A communication apparatus determines a communication mode in a network in which the communication apparatus is to participate. If the communication apparatus determines that the communication mode is the infrastructure mode, it selects a client function. If the communication apparatus determines that the communication mode is the ad hoc mode, it selects a server function. The communication apparatus operates as an apparatus having the selected client function or server function. | 02-19-2009 |
20090075594 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - In a system in which a communication adapter installing UPnP is connected to a printer to provide a print service, the communication adapter notifies a device that the printer joins the network or leaves from it, based on determination whether the printer can provide a service. Hence, the present invention can suppress from issuing a service request to a printer which cannot provide the service. | 03-19-2009 |
20090109886 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A wireless communication apparatus in a MIMO communication system which simultaneously transfers different data at the same frequency using a plurality of antennas is provided. The apparatus includes a plurality of receiving units corresponding to the plurality of antennas, respectively. A control unit of the wireless communication apparatus acknowledges a communication protocol command. The control unit sets, in accordance with the acknowledged command, the power mode of the wireless communication apparatus to one of (1) a power saving off mode in which all the receiving units always operate, (2) a dynamic power saving mode in which only one receiving unit operates normally, and upon receiving a transfer request addressed to the apparatus, all the receiving units operate only during a predetermined period, and (3) a static power saving mode in which only one receiving unit always operates, and no MIMO communication is performed. | 04-30-2009 |
20090311964 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD - A communication apparatus which performs communication under control of a base station includes a detection unit to detect a signal sent from another wireless system interfering with a first frequency channel, a disconnection unit to disconnect communication performed in the first frequency channel when the signal interfering with the first frequency channel is detected, a determination unit to determine whether the base station is communicating using the first frequency channel when the communication has been disconnected, and a control unit, when it is determined that the base station is not communicating using the first frequency channel, to search for a second frequency channel used by the base station and communicate with the base station by using the second frequency channel and/or when the it is determined that the base station is communicating using the first frequency channel, to notify a user that communication has been disconnected. | 12-17-2009 |
20110191568 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - An information processing apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a communication unit configured to communicate with another apparatus, a main processing unit capable of controlling communication processing by the communication unit and other processing, a communication processing unit capable of controlling the communication processing by the communication unit and a deciding unit configured to decide, during communication by the communication unit and based on one of a transfer condition of communication by the communication unit and priority of data to be communicated, which one of the main processing unit and the communication processing unit should control the communication processing by the communication unit. | 08-04-2011 |
