Abstract

A communication apparatus automatically establishes a wireless communication connection with an image processing apparatus. The communication apparatus captures one of more images of the image processing apparatus and determines, via image recognition process the identification information associated with the image processing apparatus. The communication apparatus automatically searches configuration information matching the identification information of the image processing apparatus and initiates the communication connection request. Communication apparatus provides the status information on a display screen of the communication apparatus and establishes a connection between the image processing apparatus and the communication apparatus.
