A control method of performing communication using a first and second communication method includes searching for, by the first and second communication method, a communication apparatus, and receiving a selection of the communication apparatus discovered by the first and second communication method, as a target. If the target discovered by the first communication method is selected, first setting information is transmited to cause the target to establish connection by the first communication method to the target, and second setting information is transmitted to cause the target to establish connection by the second communication method to the target. If the target discovered by the second communication method is selected, the second setting information is transmitted to the target by the second communication method, and the first setting information is transmitted to the target.
