More Information
Summary:A communication device communicates with an external device using a first connection method and a second connection method. The communication device, when a connection is established with the external device, determines whether to automatically display a screen for using the external device from the communication device on a display device of the communication device, based on (i) a connection method used to connect to the external device and/or (ii) whether the external device is newly connected or reconnected. The control means may determine not to automatically display the screen in a case where the connection method is the first connection method wherein the first connection method is capable of establishing connections with different external devices in parallel. The first connection method may be a Bluetooth (RTM) standard, and the second connection method may conform to a wireless LAN standard. The second connection method may use near-field communication. The communication device may be a smartphone and the external device may be digital camera.
