Abstract
A communication apparatus which includes a communication unit that communicates with an external apparatus, records connection information for connecting to the external apparatus using the communication unit, and subjects, upon activation of the communication apparatus, the communication unit to communication connection to the external apparatus based on the connection information. The communication apparatus inhibits the communication connection to the external apparatus based on an activation factor, which is a factor in the activation of the communication apparatus.
Claims22
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface configured to communicate with an external apparatus;
- a memory configured to store connection information for communication-connecting to the external apparatus via the communication interface;
- a data transmitter configured to establish, in response to the communication apparatus being activated from a power-off state, communication connection to the external apparatus via the communication interface based on the connection information and automatically transmit data of the communication apparatus to the external apparatus;
- and
- a controller configured to inhibit the data transmitter from automatically transmitting the data to the external apparatus, based on an activation factor, which is a factor of activating the communication apparatus from the power-off state.
A method for controlling a communication apparatus that includes a communication interface configured to communicate with an external apparatus, the method comprising:
- storing, in a memory, connection information for communication-connecting to the external apparatus via the communication interface;
- establishing, in response to the communication apparatus being activated from a power-off state, communication connection to the external apparatus via the communication interface based on the connection information and automatically transmitting data to the communication apparatus the external apparatus;
- and
- inhibiting the automatically transmitting data of the communication apparatus to the external apparatus, based on an activation factor, which is a factor of activating the communication apparatus from the power-off state.
A communication apparatus comprising:
- an image capture unit;
- a communication interface configured to communicate with an external apparatus;
- a memory configured to store image data obtained by the image capture unit;
- and
- a controller configured to establish, in response to the communication apparatus being activated from a power-off state, communication connection to the external apparatus registered in advance, and automatically transmit the image data stored in the memory to the external apparatus,
- wherein the controller inhibits automatic transmission of the image data is not executed if a factor of activating the communication apparatus from the power-off state is a predetermined factor.
A method for controlling a communication apparatus that includes an image capture unit, a communication interface configured to communicate with an external apparatus, and a memory configured to store image data obtained by the image capture unit, the method comprising:
- establishing, in response to the communication apparatus being activated from a power-off state, communication connection to the external apparatus registered in advance, and automatically transmitting the image data stored in the memory to the external apparatus;
- and
- inhibiting automatic transmission of the image data if a factor in of activating the communication apparatus from the power-off state is a predetermined factor.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a method for controlling a communication apparatus that includes a communication interface configured to communicate with an external apparatus, the method comprising:
- storing, in a memory, connection information for communication-connecting to the external apparatus via the communication interface;
- establishing, in response to the communication apparatus being activated from a power-off state, communication connection to the external apparatus based on the connection information and automatically transmitting data of the communication apparatus to the external apparatus;
- and
- inhibiting the automatically transmitting data of the communication apparatus to the external apparatus, based on an activation factor, which is a factor of activating the communication apparatus from the power-off state.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a method for controlling a communication apparatus that includes an image capture unit, a communication interface configured do communicate with an external apparatus, and a memory configured to store image data obtained by the image capture unit, the method comprising:
- establishing, in response to the communication apparatus being activated from a power-off state, communication connection to the external apparatus registered in advance, and automatically transmitting the image data stored in the memory to the external apparatus;
- and
- inhibiting automatic transmission of the image data if a factor of activating the communication apparatus from the power-off state is a predetermined factor.
