Abstract
When a query instruction to query an image capturing apparatus which delivers a captured image to a plurality of external devices via a network about a parameter that can be set in the image capturing apparatus, and a setting instruction to set the parameter in the image capturing apparatus are received from a first external device, control processing to execute the query instruction and the setting instruction received from the first external device, and limit execution of the setting instruction received from a second external device after the query instruction is received from the first external device is executed.
Claims15
An image capturing apparatus which delivers a captured image to a plurality of external devices via a network, the apparatus comprising:
- a reception unit which receives a query instruction to query the image capturing apparatus about a parameter that can be set in the image capturing apparatus, and a setting instruction to set the parameter in the image capturing apparatus;
- and
- a control unit which performs control processing to execute the query instruction and the setting instruction received from a first external device by said reception unit, and limit execution of the setting instruction received from a second external device by said reception unit after said reception unit receives the query instruction from the first external device.
A method of controlling an image capturing apparatus which delivers a captured image to a plurality of external devices via a network, the method comprising:
- a reception step of receiving a query instruction to query the image capturing apparatus about a parameter that can be set in the image capturing apparatus, and a setting instruction to set the parameter in the image capturing apparatus;
- and
- a control step of performing control processing to execute the query instruction and the setting instruction received from a first external device in the reception step, and limit execution of the setting instruction received from a second external device in the reception step after the query instruction is received from the first external device in the reception step.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium recording a program for causing a computer which delivers a captured image to a plurality of external devices via a network to execute:
- a reception step of receiving a query instruction to query the computer about a parameter that can be set in the computer, and a setting instruction to set the parameter in the computer;
- and
- a control step of performing control processing to execute the query instruction and the setting instruction received from a first external device in the reception step, and limit execution of the setting instruction received from a second external device in the reception step after the query instruction is received from the first external device in the reception step.
