1. A radiographic imaging system comprising:
a radiographic imaging apparatus configured to capture a radiographic image; and
a radiographic imaging control apparatus configured to connect to the radiographic imaging apparatus wirelessly and control image capturing performed by the radiographic imaging apparatus,
wherein the radiographic imaging control apparatus includes:
a first Bluetooth interface; and
one or more first controllers configured to:
receive two or more radio waves transmitted from the radiographic imaging apparatus via the first Bluetooth interface, the two or more radio waves requesting a connection through Bluetooth communication;
acquire wireless information for establishing a network connection with the radiographic imaging apparatus in a case where the received two or more radio waves requesting the connection satisfy a predetermined condition for stable reception of the two or more radio waves; and
transmit the wireless information to the radiographic imaging apparatus, and
wherein the radiographic imaging apparatus includes:
a second Bluetooth interface;
a wireless network interface; and
one or more second controllers configured to:
transmit the two or more radio waves requesting the connection through the second Bluetooth interface to the radiographic imaging control apparatus;
set a setting of the wireless network interface to establish the network connection based on the wireless information received from the radiographic imaging control apparatus; and
capture a radiographic image based on control by the radiographic imaging control apparatus connected based on the setting,
wherein the one or more first controllers are further configured to determine whether the two or more radio waves requesting the connection satisfy the predetermined condition based on whether the two or more radio waves that each have a signal intensity greater than or equal to a predetermined value are received a predetermined number of times or more or based on whether an average of the signal intensities of the two or more radio waves received the predetermined number of times is greater than or equal to a threshold value.
