Image capturing apparatus, system, control method for image capturing apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A system comprising:

• an image capturing apparatus including:
• an image capturing unit configured to capture an image;
• a communication unit configured to communicate with a client and a server via a network;
• and
• a processing unit configured to execute first processing for communication with the client and second processing for communication with the server,
• wherein the communication with the client and the communication with the server include transmission of the image, and
• after the first processing and the second processing have been started, the processing unit stops the first processing when the communication unit has established the communication with the server, and does not stop the first processing when the communication unit has not established the communication with the server;
• a server that stores the image captured by the image capturing apparatus;
• and
• a client that obtains the image captured by the image capturing apparatus from the server or the image capturing apparatus.

A control method for an image capturing apparatus that includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image, a communication unit configured to communicate with a client and a server via a network, and a processing unit configured to execute first processing for communication with the client and second processing for communication with the server, the control method comprising:

• starting the first processing using the processing unit;
• starting the second processing using the processing unit;
• making an attempt to establish the communication with the server using the communication unit;
• and
• stopping the first processing using the processing unit when the communication with the server has been established,
• wherein in the stopping, the processing unit does not stop the first processing when the communication with the server has not been established, and
• the communication with the client and the communication with the server include transmission of the image.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs including instructions that, when executed by a processor of an image processing apparatus including an image capturing unit configured to capture an image, a communication unit configured to communicate with a client and a server via a network, and a processing unit configured to execute first processing for communication with the client and second processing for communication with the server, causes the processing unit to perform operations of:

• starting the first processing;
• starting the second processing;
• making an attempt to establish the communication with the server using the communication unit;
• and
• stopping the first processing when the communication with the server has been established,
• wherein in the stopping, the first processing is not stopped when the communication with the server has not been established, and
• the communication with the client and the communication with the server include transmission of the image.
