Abstract
An image capturing apparatus receives a request for image capturing commission from an information processing apparatus, saves a captured image file obtained by image capturing, transmits the captured image file, to the information processing apparatus and disable access to the saved captured image file.
Claims15
An image capturing apparatus comprising:
- one or more hardware processors;
- and
- one or more memories storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more hardware processors, the one or more programs including instructions to:
- receive a request for image capturing commission from an information processing apparatus;
- save a captured image file obtained by image capturing;
- transmit the captured image file, to the information processing apparatus;
- disable access to the saved captured image file, by concealing the saved captured image file based on an encryption key;
- receive a request for enabling, which is a commission to enable access to the saved captured image file, from the information processing apparatus and
- save, in a case where the request for enabling is received, the saved captured image file in a state where access to the saved captured image file is enabled
- save a captured image file which is obtained by image capturing in a case where the request for image capturing commission is not received in a normal save area different from a temporary save area where the captured image file is saved in a case where the request for image capturing commission is received;
- and
- copy or move, in a case where the request for enabling is received, the captured image file saved in the temporary save area to the normal save area.
