Abstract
In an image reading system, an information processing apparatus notifies any image reading apparatus of a network of connection information, and permits transmission of image data only in a case where the image reading apparatus notified of the connection information accesses the information processing apparatus. The image reading apparatus transmits image data that is read from an original to a transmission destination conforming to the connection information.
Claims11
An information processing apparatus which is able to communicate, via a network, with a plurality of scanning apparatuses, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured to perform a search for at least one scanning apparatus;
- and
- a user interface configured to display a plurality of scanning apparatuses found by the search,
- wherein the user interface selects a scanning apparatus from the plurality of scanning apparatuses displayed by the user interface,
- wherein the controller executes a request from a scanning apparatus having address information that coincides with address information of the selected scanning apparatus,
- wherein the controller does not execute a request from a scanning apparatus having address information that does not coincide with address information of the selected scanning apparatus, and
- wherein the controller stores the address information of the scanning apparatus that transmits the request to the information processing apparatus and has the address information that is different from the address information of the selected scanning apparatus.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling an information processing apparatus which is able to communicate, via a network, with a plurality of scanning apparatuses, the method comprising:
- performing a search for at least one scanning apparatus;
- displaying a plurality of scanning apparatuses found by the search;
- selecting, based on a user operation, a scanning apparatus from the plurality of displayed scanning apparatuses,
- wherein a request from a scanning apparatus having address information that coincides with address information of the selected scanning apparatus is executed by the information processing apparatus, and
- wherein a request from a scanning apparatus having address information that does not coincide with address information of the selected scanning apparatus is not executed by the information processing apparatus;
- and
- storing the address information of the scanning apparatus that transmits the request to the information processing apparatus and has the address information that is different from the address information of the selected scanning apparatus.
