Abstract
An image communication apparatus that transmits input image data when detecting that a designated recipient has logged in an external apparatus. An MFP as an image communication apparatus includes a scanner for inputting image data and an operation unit for designating a recipient by whom the input image data should be received. When it is detected that the designated recipient has logged in another MFP which is a transmission destination of the input image data, the input image data is transmitted to the transmission destination MFP.
Claims16
An image communication apparatus comprising:
- an input unit configured to input image data;
- a designation unit configured to designate a recipient by whom the input image data is to be received;
- a detection unit configured to detect, after the recipient is designated by said designation unit, that the designated recipient has logged in an external apparatus which is a transmission destination of the input image data;
- and
- a transmission unit configured to transmit the input image data to the external apparatus in a case where said detection unit detects that the designated recipient has logged in the external apparatus.
A control method of an image communication apparatus, comprising:
- an input step of inputting image data;
- a designation step of designating a recipient by whom the input image data is to be received;
- a detection step of detecting, after the recipient is designated in said designation step, that the designated recipient has logged in an external apparatus which is a transmission destination of the input image data;
- and
- a transmission step of transmitting the input image data to the external apparatus in a case where it is detected in said detection step that the designated recipient has logged in the external apparatus.
An image communication apparatus comprising:
- an input unit configured to input image data;
- a designation unit configured to designate a recipient by whom the input image data is to be received;
- a detection unit configured to detect that the designated recipient has logged in an external apparatus which is a transmission destination of the input image data;
- a transmission unit configured to transmit image data;
- and
- a log information recording unit configured to store a transmission result,
- wherein in a case where image data has normally been transmitted to the designated recipient by said transmission unit, a log indicating successful transmission is recorded in said log information recording unit if said detection unit has detected that the recipient has logged in the external apparatus, and a log that requests a sender's attention is recorded in said log information recording unit if said detection unit has not detected that the recipient has logged in the external apparatus.
An image communication apparatus comprising:
- an input unit configured to input image data;
- a transmission destination designation unit configured to input a transmission address to which the input image data is to be transmitted, and configured to designate an attribute representing whether the transmission address is equipment address or user address;
- a detection unit configured to detect that the designated recipient has logged in an external apparatus which is a transmission destination of the input image data;
- and
- a transmission unit configured to transmit image data,
- wherein in a case where said detection unit detects that a user has logged in, said transmission unit transmits the image data to an equipment address if the attribute designated by said transmission destination designation unit represents that the transmission address is equipment address, and transmits the image data to a user address if the attribute represents that the transmission address is user address.
An image communication apparatus comprising:
- a receiver unit configured to receive image data;
- and
- a recipient user switching unit configured to set whether image data is to be received by using a URI of a log-in user or by using a URI of an equipment address,
- wherein image data is received in accordance with a setting by said recipient user switching unit.
