US 2015/0319339 A1 · DATA COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM THEREFOR

Abstract

A data communication apparatus that is capable of improving operability when inputting authentication information. An authentication unit accepts authentication information inputted when a user logs in to the data communication apparatus and authenticates the user based on the accepted authentication information. A designation unit designates a file transmission destination that is inputted by the authenticated user. A transmission unit transmits a file to the transmission destination inputted. A registration unit registers the transmission destination of the file. A control unit prohibits registration of the authentication information at the time of registration of the transmission destination of the file when the accepted authentication information is used for file transmission, and permits registration of the authentication information at the time of registration of the transmission destination of the file when the inputted authentication information is not used for file transmission.

Dependent claims

A data communication apparatus comprising:

an authentication unit configured to accept authentication information that is inputted when a user logs in to the data communication apparatus and to authenticate the user based on the accepted authentication information;
a designation unit configured to designate a transmission destination of a file that is inputted by the authenticated user;
a transmission unit configured to transmit a file to the transmission destination inputted by the user;
a registration unit configured to register the transmission destination of the file;
a control unit configured to prohibit registration of the authentication information at the time of registration of the transmission destination of the file when the authentication information that is inputted when the user logs in to the data communication apparatus is used as authentication information required at the time of file transmission, and to permit registration of the authentication information at the time of registration of the transmission destination of the file when the inputted authentication information is not used as authentication information required at the time of file transmission.

2 more elements

A control method for a data communication apparatus, comprising:

an authentication step of accepting authentication information that is inputted when a user logs in to the data communication apparatus and of authenticating the user based on the accepted authentication information;
a designation step of designating a transmission destination of a file that is inputted by the authenticated user;
a transmission step of transmitting a file to the transmission destination inputted by the user;
a registration step of registering the transmission destination of the file;
a prohibition step of prohibiting registration of the authentication information at the time of registration of the transmission destination of the file when the authentication information that is inputted when the user logs in to the data communication apparatus is used as authentication information required at the time of file transmission;
and
a permission step of permitting registration of the authentication information at the time of registration of the transmission destination of the file when the inputted authentication information is not used as authentication information required at the time of file transmission.
