## Abstract

An information processing apparatus is provided and includes a display unit which displays an operation screen. The information processing apparatus controls whether or not to receive setting for a first application from a different apparatus and use the received setting for the first application, in accordance with a type of a screen being displayed on the display unit.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An information processing apparatus comprising:
a display device;
a communicator that receives a destination from a communication terminal; and
a controller that sets the received destination as a transmission destination of a transmission iob,
wherein the communicator transmits, based on execution of the transmission iob by the controller, data to the transmission destination,
wherein the controller sets, as the transmission destination of the transmission iob, the destination that is received in a state that the display device displays a first screen that is different from a transmission screen of a transmission function of the information processing apparatus, and
wherein the controller does not set, as the transmission destination of the transmission iob, the destination that is received in a state that the display device displays a second screen that is a predetermined screen and that is different from the first screen and the transmission screen.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the controller sets automatically, as the transmission destination of the transmission job without receiving a user operation, the destination that is received in the state that the display device displays the first screen that is different from the transmission screen of the transmission function of the information processing apparatus.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first screen is a selection screen for receiving a selection of a function from among a plurality of functions of the information processing apparatus by a user, and the second screen is a screen of a copy function of the information processing apparatus.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the received destination is an e-mail address.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein, based on receiving the destination in the state that the display device displays the second screen, the communicator transmits, to the communication terminal, information so that the communication terminal displays a message which indicates an error.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising
a scanner that scans a document to generate image date,
wherein the communicator transmits, based on execution of the transmission job by the controller, the generated image data to the transmission destination of the transmission job.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the communicator includes a wired network interface and a wireless network interface.

### Claim 8

An information processing apparatus comprising:
a display device; and
a communicator that receives a destination from a communication terminal,
wherein the communicator transmits data to the received destination,
wherein the display device displays the destination that is received by the communicator in a state that the display device displays a first screen that is different from a transmission screen of a transmission function of the information processing apparatus, and
wherein the display device does not display the destination that is received by the communicator in a state that the display device displays a second screen that is a predetermined screen and that is different from the first screen and the transmission screen.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 8,
wherein the first screen is a selection screen for receiving a selection of a function from among a plurality of functions of the information processing apparatus by a user, and the second screen is a screen of a copy function of the information processing apparatus.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the received destination is an e-mail address.

### Claim 11 (depends on 8)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 8,
wherein, based on receiving the destination in the state that the display device displays the second screen, the communicator transmits, to the communication terminal, information so that the communication terminal displays a message which indicates an error.

### Claim 12 (depends on 8)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 8,
wherein the display device displays automatically, without receiving a user operation, the destination that is received in the state that the display device displays the first screen that is different from the transmission screen of the transmission function of the information processing apparatus.

### Claim 13 (depends on 8)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 8, further comprising:
a scanner that scans a document to generate image date; and
a controller that sets the received destination as a transmission destination of a transmission job,
wherein the communicator transmits, based on execution of the transmission job by the controller, the generated image data to the transmission destination of the transmission job.

### Claim 14 (depends on 8)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 8,
wherein the communicator includes a wired network interface and a wireless network interface.

### Claim 15

A method for controlling to an information processing apparatus including a display device, the method comprising:
receiving a destination from a communication terminal;
setting the received destination as a transmission destination of a transmission job; and
transmitting, based on execution of the transmission job, data to the transmission destination,
wherein the destination that is received in a state that the display device displays a first screen that is different from a transmission screen of a transmission function of the information processing apparatus is set as the transmission destination of the transmission job, and
wherein the destination that is received in a state that the display device displays a second screen that is a predetermined screen and that is different from the first screen and the transmission screen is not set as the transmission destination of the transmission job.

### Claim 16

A method for controlling to an information processing apparatus including a display device, the method comprising:
receiving a destination from a communication terminal; and
transmitting data to the received destination;
wherein the display device displays the destination that is received in a state that the display device displays a first screen that is different from a transmission screen of a transmission function of the information processing apparatus, and
wherein the display device does not display the destination that is received in a state that the display device displays a second screen that is a predetermined screen and that is different from the first screen and the transmission screen.
