Abstract
A communication apparatus measures a received signal strength indicator of a communication network and transmits the measured received signal strength indicator to an image pickup apparatus. The image pickup apparatus transmits, to the communication apparatus, any one of a thumbnail of selected image data, data obtained by compressing the selected image data, and the selected image data in a raw state in accordance with the received signal strength indicator of the received data of the communication network. The communication apparatus transfers the received image data for transfer to the communication network.
Claims15
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit for communicating with an external communication apparatus that communicates with a base station by a first communication method and which communicates with a communication terminal different from the base station by a second communication method, wherein said communication unit communicates with the external communication apparatus by the second communication method;
- and
- a changing unit for changing a size of an image file transmitted to the external communication apparatus by the second communication method, in accordance with information which is informed from the external communication apparatus by the second communication method and which is related to communication of the external communication apparatus with the base station by the first communication method.
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a first communication unit for communicating with a base station by a first communication method;
- a second communication unit for communicating with an external image processing apparatus different from the base station by a second communication method;
- and
- a control unit for informing said external image processing apparatus of information which is related to the communication of said first communication unit with the base station by the first communication method, wherein said control unit informs said external image processing apparatus of the information by the second communication method so as to change a size of an image file transmitted to said communication apparatus by the external image processing apparatus.

A control method of an image processing apparatus, comprising:
- a communication step of communicating with an external communication apparatus that communicates with a base station by a first communication method and which communicates with a communication terminal different from the base station by a second communication method, wherein said communication step comprises receipt of information from the external communication apparatus by the second communication method, wherein the information is related to communication of the external communication apparatus with the base station by the first communication method;
- and
- a changing step of changing a size of an image file transmitted to the external communication apparatus by the second communication method, in accordance with the information that is received from the external communication apparatus.
A control method of a communication apparatus, comprising:
- a first communication step of communicating with a base station by a first communication method;
- a second communication step of communicating with an external image processing apparatus different from the base station by a second communication method;
- and
- a control step of informing said external image processing apparatus of information which is related to communication with the base station by the first communication method at said first communication step, wherein said control step informs said external image processing apparatus of the information by the second communication method so as to change a size of an image file transmitted to said communication apparatus by the external image processing apparatus.
1 more element
A storage medium for storing a program to control an image processing apparatus, wherein said program comprises:
- a communication step of communicating with an external communication apparatus that communicates with a base station by a first communication method and which communication with a communication terminal different from the base station by a second communication method, wherein said communication step comprises receipt of information from the external communication apparatus by the second communication method, wherein the information is related to communication of the external communication apparatus with the base station by the first communication method;
- and
- a changing step of changing a size of an image file transmitted to the external communication apparatus by the second communication method, in accordance with the information that is received from the external communication apparatus.
A storage medium for storing a program to control a communication, wherein said program comprises:
- a first communication step of communicating with a base station by a first communication method;
- a second communication step of communicating with an external image processing apparatus different from the base station by a second communication method;
- and
- a control step of informing said external image processing apparatus of information which is related to the communication with the base station by the first communication method at said first communication step, wherein said control step informs said external image processing apparatus of the information by the second communication method so as to change a size of an image file transmitted to the communication apparatus by the external image processing apparatus.
