ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are a communication device and a method of controlling the same, whereby it is possible to change the device name independently in such a manner that a plurality of communication devices having the same name will not exist on the same wireless communication network. The communication device queries another device with regard to its name and determines whether its own name and the name of the other device are the same. If the two names are the same, the querying communication device generates a name different from that of the other device using, e.g., its own wireless communication address, thereby changing its name. As a result, even if new devices are added to the network, the querying communication device automatically assigns to itself a name that is always different from those of these other devices.
