Information processing apparatus enabling communication settings to be made with ease, method of controlling information processing apparatus, and storage medium

Abstract

An information processing apparatus which makes it possible to make communication settings with ease. A mobile terminal as the information processing apparatus includes a Bluetooth controller that causes a Bluetooth communication section to receive a packet, a CPU that generates a device list, based on the packet, a display section that displays the device list. The CPU selects a device from the device list based on a received radio field intensity of the packet or selects a device from the device list based on a selection operation by a user. The mobile terminal further includes a wireless LAN controller that cause a wireless LAN communication section to transmit data to the selected device.

 displaying, on a display device, a screen including a plurality of selection objects corresponding to a plurality of functions to perform communication with an image forming apparatus set as a communication destination and including an object indicating that the image forming apparatus as the communication destination has not been set; and   notifying, after displaying the screen, of a message indicating that the image forming apparatus as the communication destination has not been set at least on condition that the image forming apparatus as the communication destination has not been set.   
     
     
         2 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 1 , wherein the object indicating that the image forming apparatus as the communication destination has not been set includes information suggesting a selection of a device. 
     
     
         3 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 1 , wherein the message indicating that the image forming apparatus as the communication destination has not been set includes information suggesting a selection of a device. 
     
     
         4 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 2 , wherein the object indicating that the image forming apparatus as the communication destination has not been set includes character information indicating a device selection. 
     
     
         5 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 3 , wherein the message indicating that the image forming apparatus as the communication destination has not been set includes character information indicating a device selection. 
     
     
         6 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 1 , wherein the message indicating that the image forming apparatus as the communication destination has not been set is displayed on the display device before a setting screen, through which a setting for a function to perform communication with the image forming apparatus as the communication destination is set, is displayed. 
     
     
         7 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 6 , wherein the setting screen is a setting screen for a print function. 
     
     
         8 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 6 , wherein the setting screen is a setting screen for a scan function. 
     
     
         9 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 1 , wherein the object indicating that the image forming apparatus as the communication destination has not been set is an object for displaying a selection screen through which the image forming apparatus as the communication destination is selected. 
     
     
         10 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 9 , wherein the selection screen is a screen through which one image forming apparatus is selected from a list of a plurality of image forming apparatuses. 
     
     
         11 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 9 , wherein the selection screen is a screen through which a candidate of an image forming apparatus to be set as a communication destination is searched for. 
     
     
         12 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 10 , wherein the list includes identification information for the plurality of image forming apparatuses. 
     
     
         13 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 10 , wherein the list consists of information based on a received radio wave. 
     
     
         14 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 10 , wherein the list consists of information based on a received Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) advertising packet. 
     
     
         15 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of functions is a function to perform communication with the image forming apparatus via wireless LAN communication. 
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of functions is a print function. 
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of functions is a scan function. 
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 15 , wherein the wireless LAN communication is communication conforming to Wi-Fi standard. 
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to  claim 1 , wherein the program is an application installed on the communication apparatus. 
     
     
         20 . A communication apparatus comprising:
 a display device;   a communication interface; and   one or more controllers configured to function as:
 a unit configured to display, on a display device, a screen including a plurality of selection objects corresponding to a plurality of functions to perform communication with an image forming apparatus set as a communication destination and including an object indicating that the image forming apparatus as the communication destination has not been set; and 
 a unit configured to notify, after displaying the screen, of a message indicating that the image forming apparatus as the communication destination has not been set at least on condition that the image forming apparatus as the communication destination has not been set.
