Radiation imaging system, method for radiation imaging system, and computer-readable storage medium

A control apparatus for controlling a radiation imaging system comprising a plurality of X-ray sensor apparatuses, each of the X-ray sensor apparatuses comprising a sensor configured to obtain image data, a switch configured to accept an operation input, and a communication circuit configured to transmit identification information of the X-ray sensor apparatus in accordance with a press of the switch, said control apparatus comprising:

• a communication circuit configured to receive the identification information transmitted in accordance with a press of the switch;
• a specifying unit configured to specify a X-ray sensor apparatus for use in an image capturing out of the plurality of X-ray sensor apparatuses in accordance with a receipt of the identification information;
• and
• a power control unit configured to, in a case where a first X-ray sensor apparatus out of the plurality of X-ray sensor apparatuses is specified by said specifying unit as a sensor to be used, shift a power state of said first X-ray sensor apparatus to a lower power consumption state in accordance with a press of the switch of a second X-ray sensor apparatus out of the plurality of X-ray sensor apparatuses.
