Abstract
Provided is a communication apparatus including: a first communication portion configured to perform wireless communications with an external apparatus based on a Bluetooth Low Energy communication scheme; and a first determiner configured to determine whether an auto power-on function of powering on the communication apparatus under a predetermined condition even when the communication apparatus is in a powered-off state is set to be enabled, wherein, when the first determiner determines that the auto power-on function is set to be enabled, the first communication portion disconnects connection to the external apparatus, which has been established based on the Bluetooth Low Energy communication scheme, in response to a power-off instruction, and transmits advertising information that allows a response based on the Bluetooth Low Energy communication scheme to be received.
