Information processing apparatus, its control method, and storage medium

A method of controlling an information processing apparatus for submitting document information including a plurality of images via a network, said method comprising:

• the step of setting, in advance, an image pickup position and an image pickup time of an image pickup unit as schedule information and storing the schedule information in a memory;
• the step of storing an image which is obtained by the image pickup unit in accordance with the schedule information stored in the memory;
• the first display step of displaying the images in the document information which had been created;
• the first designation step of designating an image among the plurality of images in the document information displayed by said first display step, to be replaced with an image newly stored in said image storage step, and displaying the designated image in a different manner from non-designated images;
• the second display step of displaying images newly stored in said image storage step;
• the second designation step of designating a new image among the images displayed by said second display step and displaying the designated image in a different manner from non-designated images displayed by said second display step;
• the step of creating new document information by substituting the image designated by said second designation step for the image, designated by said first designation step, in the document information;
• and
• the step of storing an image prepared in advance, and substituting an image among the plurality of images in the document information, which is not changed, by the image prepared in advance.

A storage medium that stores a computer program code for an information processing apparatus which comprises image input means and submits document information including a plurality of images via a network, the code comprising:

• a program code of the step of setting, in advance, an image pickup position and an image pickup time of an image pickup unit as schedule information and storing the schedule information in a memory;
• a program code of the step of storing an image which is obtained by said image pickup unit in accordance with the schedule information stored in the memory;
• a program code of the first display step of displaying the images in the document information which had been created;
• a program code of the first designation step of designating an image among the plurality of images in the document information displayed by said first display step, to be replaced with an image newly stored in said image storage step, and displaying the designated image in a different manner from non-designated images;
• a program code of the second display step of displaying images newly stored in said image storage step;
• a program code of the second designation step of designating a new image among the images displayed by said second display step and displaying the designated image in a different manner from non-designated images displayed by said second display step;
• a program code of the step of creating new document information by substituting the image designated by said second designation step for the image, designated by said first designation step, in the document information;
• and
• a program code of the step of storing an image prepared in advance, and substituting an image among the plurality of images in the document information, which is not changed, by the image prepared in advance.
