US 10,382,644 B2 · Information processing apparatus, method of controlling the same, and storage medium

Abstract

An information processing apparatus that positively notifies a notification destination of information to be notified even if a communication protocol is changed before notifying storage of stored data. A notification setting processing section of a document storage notification application sets a protocol for accessing the stored document data from a computer via a network. When document data is stored in a HDD, a mail transmission processing section notifies the computer of storage location information on the document data for accessing the data according to the set protocol. If the set protocol is changed before the storage location information is notified to the computer, a control section causes the mail transmission processing section to notify the computer of storage location information for causing the document data to be accessed using the changed protocol.

Dependent claims

An information processing apparatus communicable with an external apparatus over a network, the information processing apparatus comprising:

a storage device storing a file;
a processor configured to implement instructions stored in a memory and execute a plurality of tasks, including:
a setting task that sets one of a plurality of settings, including at least a first setting for which an SMB protocol is used for accessing the file stored in the storage device from the external apparatus and a second setting for which a WebDAV protocol is used for accessing the file stored in the storage device from the external apparatus;
a registration task that registers an e-mail address linked to a location of the file stored in the storage device;
and
a transmitting task that transmits to the registered e-mail address:
in a case where the setting task sets the first setting, an e-mail providing location information including, in a body part of the e-mail, an SMB path of the stored file described for accessing the stored file using the SMB protocol;
and
in a case where the setting task sets the second setting, an e-mail providing location information including, in the body part of the e-mail, a WebDAV path of the stored file described for accessing the stored file using the WebDAV protocol.

A method of controlling an information processing apparatus having a storage device for storing a file, and communicable with an external apparatus over a network, the method comprising the steps of:

setting one of a plurality of settings, including at least a first setting for which a SMB protocol is used for accessing the file stored in the storage device from the external apparatus and a second setting for which a WebDAV protocol is used for accessing the file stored in the storage device from the external apparatus;
registering an e-mail address linked to a location of the file stored in the storage device;
and
transmitting to the registered e-mail address:
in a case where the setting step sets the first setting, an e-mail providing location information including, in a body part of the e-mail, a SMB path of the stored file for accessing the stored file using the SMB protocol;
and
in a case where the setting step sets the second setting, an e-mail providing location information including, in the body part of the e-mail, a WebDAV path of the stored file described for accessing the stored file using the WebDAV protocol.
