Abstract
It is an object to reduce a troublesomeness required to export/import an address book (destination table) between image processing apparatuses. For this purpose, at the time of import request of destination data for import, an import instruction to a group destination table is made. A group destination table ID which coincides with a destination table ID obtained from the destination data for import is retrieved. The group destination table associated with the group destination table ID is specified as a group destination table of an import destination side. The destination data obtained from the destination data for import is imported as destination data into the specified group destination table (group destination table DB).
Claims10
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a storing unit configured to store destination data in a destination table of a first type and destination data in a destination table of a second type in which a managing method of the destination data differs from that of the destination table of the first type;
- a receiving unit configured to receive an instruction for importing the destination data in the destination table of the first type in destination data for import as the destination data in the destination table of the second type;
- and
- an importing unit configured to import the destination data in the destination table of the first type in the destination data for import as the destination data in the destination table of the second type in accordance with the reception of the instruction by the receiving unit.
A control method of an image processing apparatus, comprising:
- a first obtaining step of obtaining at least either destination data in a first destination table or destination data in a second destination table in which a managing method of the destination data differs from that of the first destination table;
- a second obtaining step of obtaining an instruction for importing the destination data in the first destination table into the second destination table;
- and
- an importing step of importing the destination data in the first destination table obtained by the first obtaining step into the second destination table in the case where the destination data in the second destination table is not obtained by the first obtaining step and the instruction is obtained by the second obtaining step.
