Abstract

See full text

A communication apparatus selects at least one function out of a plurality of functions, searches for an external apparatus, identifies a service provided by the external apparatus searched for by the search unit, acquires functional information about a function of the external apparatus searched for by the search unit, and determines whether the searched-for external apparatus has a function corresponding to the function selected by the selection unit based on functional information acquired by the acquisition unit, wherein the determination by the determination unit is executed before participating in a wireless network, and performs control not to participate in a wireless network for communicating with the searched-for external apparatus if the searched-for external apparatus is determined not to have a function corresponding to the function selected by the selection unit.
