Image capturing apparatus, system, control method for image capturing apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that controls processing to communicate with a client based on received setting value

A system comprising:

• (i) an image capturing apparatus including a computer executing instructions that, when executed by the computer, cause the computer to function as:
• a communication unit configured to communicate with a client and a server via a network;
• and
• a processing unit configured to execute first processing for communication with the client and second processing for communication with the server,
• wherein the communication with the client and the communication with the server include transmission of an image captured by an image capturing unit,
• wherein the communication unit receives, from the server, a setting value indicating whether to execute the first processing or not, and
• wherein in a state where the communication unit has established the communication with the server after the first processing and the second processing have been started, the processing unit:
• stops the first processing if the received setting value indicates that the first processing is not to be executed and
• does not stop the first processing if the received setting value indicates that the first processing is to be executed;
• (ii) a server that stores the image captured by the image capturing apparatus;
• and
• (iii) a client that obtains the image captured by the image capturing apparatus from the server or the image capturing apparatus.

A control method for an image capturing apparatus, the control method comprising:

• communicating with a client and a server via a network;
• and
• executing first processing for communication with the client and second processing for communication with the server,
• wherein the communication with the client and the communication with the server include transmission of an image captured by an image capturing unit,
• wherein in the communicating, a setting value indicating whether or not to execute the first processing is received from the server, and
• wherein in a state where, in the communicating, the communication with the server has been established after the first processing and the second processing have been started, in the executing:
• the first processing is stopped if the received setting value indicates that the first processing is not to be executed;
• and
• the first processing is not stopped if the received setting value indicates that the first processing is to be executed.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs for causing a computer to execute a control method for an image capturing apparatus, the control method comprising:

• communicating with a client and a server via a network;
• and
• executing first processing for communication with the client and second processing for communication with the server,
• wherein the communication with the client and the communication with the server include transmission of an image captured by an image capturing unit,
• wherein in the communicating, a setting value indicating whether or not to execute the first processing is received from the server, and
• wherein in a state where, in the communicating, the communication with the server has been established after the first processing and the second processing have been started, in the executing:
• the first processing is stopped if the received setting value indicates that the first processing is not to be executed;
• and
• the first processing is not stopped if the received setting value indicates that the first processing is to be executed.
