Abstract
A first image processing apparatus makes a request to the second image processing apparatus to issue identification information to transfer second image data that a second image processing apparatus has received from the communication apparatus to the first image processing apparatus, and transmits first image data to be transmitted to the communication apparatus, and transmission destination information for identifying the communication apparatus, to the second image processing apparatus via a network.
Claims10
An image transfer system in which a second image processing apparatus transfers first image data, which is received from a first image processing apparatus via a network, to a communication apparatus connected to a public line, the first image processing apparatus comprising:
- a request unit configured to make a request to the second image processing apparatus for issuance of identification information to transfer second image data, which the second image processing apparatus has received from the communication apparatus, to the first image processing apparatus;
- and
- a first transmission unit configured to transmit first image data to be transmitted to the communication apparatus, and transmission destination information for identifying the communication apparatus, to the second image processing apparatus via the network, and the second image processing apparatus comprising:
- an issuing unit configured to issue identification information for transferring the second image data received from the communication apparatus to the first image processing apparatus, based on a request from the first image processing apparatus;
- and
- a second transmission unit configured to transmit the first image data received from the first image processing apparatus, and the identification information, to the communication apparatus that is identified by the transmission destination information;
- and
- a transfer unit configured to acquire identification information from the second image data received from the communication apparatus, and transfer the second image data via the network to the first image processing apparatus that is identified by the acquired identification information.
A data transfer method in an image transfer system in which a second image processing apparatus transfers first image data, which is received from a first image processing apparatus via a network, to a communication apparatus connected to a public line, the data transfer method, wherein
- the first image processing apparatus makes a request to the second image processing apparatus for issuance of identification information for transferring second image data, which the second image processing apparatus has received from the communication apparatus, to the first image processing apparatus;
- the first image processing apparatus transmits first image data to be transmitted to the communication apparatus, and transmission destination information for identifying the communication apparatus, to the second image processing apparatus via the network;
- the second image processing apparatus issues the identification information for transferring the second image data received from the communication apparatus, to the first image processing apparatus, based on a request from the first image processing apparatus;
- the second image processing apparatus transmits the first image data received from the first image processing apparatus, and the identification information, to the communication apparatus that is identified by the transmission destination information;
- and
- the second image processing apparatus acquires identification information from the second image data received from the communication apparatus, and transfers the second image data via the network to the first image processing apparatus that is identified by the acquired identification information.
