Communication priority of image forming apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium storing program

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:

a first wireless communication unit, comprising a circuit, that performs wireless communication based on a first wireless communication method;

a second wireless communication unit, comprising a circuit that performs wireless communication based on a second wireless communication method different from the first wireless communication method; and

a processor configured to function as a prioritized control unit that performs a control based on information related to a communication destination of the first wireless communication unit and information related to a communication destination of the second wireless communication unit such that one wireless communication unit of the first wireless communication unit or the second wireless communication unit is operated in a prioritized manner over another wireless communication unit,

wherein the prioritized control unit operates the one wireless communication unit in a prioritized manner based on an attribute of the communication destination of the first wireless communication unit and an attribute of the communication destination of the second wireless communication unit,

wherein the attribute is a history of communication executed by the image forming apparatus that is performed in a preset period, and

in a case where the image forming apparatus has the history of communication with one of the communication destination of the first wireless communication unit or the communication destination of the second wireless communication unit, and the image forming apparatus does not have the history of communication with an other of the communication destination of the first wireless communication unit or the communication destination of the second wireless communication unit, the other of the first wireless communication unit or the second wireless communication unit not having the history of communication is operated in a prioritized manner as the one wireless communication unit.

2. An image forming apparatus comprising:

a first wireless communication unit, comprising a circuit, that performs wireless communication based on a first wireless communication method;

a second wireless communication unit, comprising a circuit, that performs wireless communication based on a second wireless communication method different from the first wireless communication method; and

a processor configured to function as a prioritized control unit that performs a control based on information related to a communication destination of the first wireless communication unit and information related to a communication destination of the second wireless communication unit such that one wireless communication unit of the first wireless communication unit or the second wireless communication unit is operated in a prioritized manner over another wireless communication unit,

wherein the processor is further configured to function as an acquiring unit that acquires a distance to at least one of the communication destination of the first wireless communication unit or the communication destination of the second wireless communication unit, and

the one wireless communication unit is operated in a prioritized manner depending on the distance acquired by the acquiring unit.

3. The image forming apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the acquiring unit acquires a distance to each of a plurality of communication destinations, and a wireless communication unit for a communication destination having the smallest distance among the plurality of acquired distances is operated in a prioritized manner as the one wireless communication unit.

4. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to implement:

a function of performing wireless communication based on a first wireless communication method;

a function of performing wireless communication based on a second wireless communication method different from the first wireless communication method; and

a function of performing a control based on information related to a communication destination of wireless communication based on the first wireless communication method and information related to a communication destination of wireless communication based on the second wireless communication method such that one wireless communication method of the first wireless communication method or the second wireless communication method is operated in a prioritized manner over another wireless communication method,

a function of operating the first wireless communication method in a prioritized manner based on an attribute of the communication destination of the first wireless communication method and an attribute of the communication destination of the second wireless communication method,

wherein the attribute is a history of communication executed by the computer that is performed in a preset period, and

in a case where the computer has the history of communication with one of the communication destination of the first wireless communication method or the communication destination of the second wireless communication method, and the computer does not have the history of communication with an other of the communication destination of the first wireless communication method or the communication destination of the second wireless communication method, the other of the first wireless communication method or the second wireless communication method not having the history of communication is operated in a prioritized manner as the one wireless communication method.
