Information processing apparatus, system, method, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with an apparatus capable of supplying image data via a network, and for providing a cloud-type storage service, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• a unit configured to determine whether a mark indicating that an image can be added is included in an image to be saved;
• a unit configured to prompt the apparatus capable of supplying image data to supply data of an additional image in a case where it is determined that the mark is included in the image to be saved;
• a combination unit configured to combine the additional image supplied from the apparatus with the image to be saved;
• and
• a unit configured to give instructions to save the combined image generated by the combination to an information processing apparatus connected via the network and for performing data saving.

An image data processing method in an information processing apparatus capable of communicating with an apparatus capable of supplying image data via a network, and for providing a cloud-type printing service, the method comprising the steps of:

• determining whether a mark indicating that an image can be added is included in a print image;
• prompting the apparatus capable of supplying image data to supply data of an additional image in a case where it is determined that the mark is included in the print image;
• combining the additional image supplied from the apparatus with the print image;
• and
• giving instructions to print the combined image generated by the combination to a printing apparatus connected via the network.
