The information processing apparatus controls whether or not to receive setting for a first application from a different apparatus and use the received setting for the first application, in accordance with a type of a screen being displayed on the display unit. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An image processing apparatus comprising: a display device; a scanner device; a memory device that stores a set of instructions; and at least one processor that executes the instructions, the instructions, when executed, cause the image processing apparatus to: receive, from a communication terminal, setting to be used in a transmission function using the scanner device, perform control to switch screen display on the display device to a screen of the transmission function in a case where the setting is received in a state in which a first screen that is different from the screen of the transmission function is displayed on the display device, and control to transfer the received setting to the transmission function, and perform control not to switch the screen display on the display device to the screen of the transmission function in a case where the setting is received in a state in which a second screen that is different from the screen of the transmission function and is different from the first screen is displayed on the display device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first screen is a selection screen for allowing a user to select a desired function from among a plurality of functions, and the second screen is a screen of a copy function. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the setting includes at least one of a mail address to be used as a data transmission destination, a body, a title, and a file name. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the instructions, when executed, further causes the image processing apparatus to, in a case where a screen of a function different from the transmission function is displayed when the screen display on the display device is switched to the screen of the transmission function, change a state of an application that provides the different function to a suspend state, and start an application that provides the transmission function. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the instructions, when executed, further causes the image processing apparatus to notify the communication terminal of an error in response to receiving the setting in the state in which the second screen is displayed on the display device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first screen is a screen for establishing a wireless connection to the communication terminal, and the second screen is a screen of a copy function. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the setting is transmitted by using a first wireless communication method. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The image processing apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the instructions, when executed, further causes the image processing apparatus to transmit, to the communication terminal by using a second wireless communication method, connection information for establishing a connection for communication based on the first wireless communication method. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The image processing apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the second wireless communication method is NFC (Near Field Communication) or Bluetooth® Low Energy. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The image processing apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the instructions, when executed, further causes the image processing apparatus to display a two-dimensional code including connection information for establishing a connection for communication based on the first wireless communication method. ### Claim 11 A method of controlling an image processing apparatus that includes a display device and a scanner device, the method comprising: receiving, from a communication terminal, setting to be used in a transmission function using the scanner device, performing control to switch screen display on the display device to a screen of the transmission function in a case where the setting is received in a state in which a first screen that is different from the screen of the transmission function is displayed on the display device, and control to transfer the received setting to the transmission function, and performing control not to switch the screen display on the display device to the screen of the transmission function in a case where the setting is received in a state in which a second screen that is different from the screen of the transmission function and is different from the first screen is displayed on the display device. ### Claim 12 A non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, controls an image processing apparatus that includes a display device and a scanner device to execute a method comprising: receiving, from a communication terminal, setting to be used in a transmission function using the scanner device, performing control to switch screen display on the display device to a screen of the transmission function in a case where the setting is received in a state in which a first screen that is different from the screen of the transmission function is displayed on the display device, and control to transfer the received setting to the transmission function, and performing control not to switch the screen display on the display device to the screen of the transmission function in a case where the setting is received in a state in which a second screen that is different from the screen of the transmission function and is different from the first screen is displayed on the display device.
