Abstract
The invention provides a communication apparatus with plural communication functions, which, in case of importing plural address information, judges whether the communication function corresponding to each address information is effective or not and selectively importing only the address information of which the corresponding communication function is effective.
Claims9
A communication apparatus for transmitting data comprising:
- a transmitting unit adapted to transmit data and capable of executing one of plural types of transmitting operations;
- a management unit adapted to manage and import, from an external device, address management information managed in the external device;
- an obtaining unit adapted to obtain the transmission destination based on the address information included in the address management information;
- and
- a control unit adapted to control said transmitting unit so as to transmit data to the transmission destination obtained by the obtaining unit using one of the plural types of transmitting operations corresponding to the transmission destination;
- wherein said management unit imports the plurality of address information corresponding to predetermined type of transmitting operation included in the plurality of transmitting operations in a case where the predetermined type of transmitting operation is in a state available for the communication apparatus, and
- wherein said management unit does not import the plurality of address information corresponding to the predetermined type of transmitting operation in a case where the predetermined type of transmitting operation is not in the state available for the communication apparatus.

A communication apparatus for transmitting data, comprising:
- a transmitting unit adapted to transmit data and capable of executing one of plural types of transmitting operations;
- a management unit adapted to manage address management information in which plural address information are made correspondent to each of the plural types of transmitting operations, the address information being information for designating a transmission destination;
- an obtaining unit adapted to obtain the transmission destination based on the address information included in the address management information;
- a control unit adapted to control said transmitting unit so as to transmit data to the transmission destination obtained by the obtaining unit using one of the plural types of transmitting operations corresponding to the transmission destination;
- and
- a discriminating unit adapted to discriminate whether each of the plurality of transmitting operations is in a state available for the communication apparatus or not,
- wherein said obtaining unit can obtain predetermined address information stored in a storage unit to which predetermined type of transmitting operation included in the plural types of transmitting operations corresponds, in a case where said discriminating unit discriminates that the predetermined type of transmitting operation is in the state available for the communication apparatus, and
- wherein said obtaining unit can not obtain the predetermined address information stored in the storage unit to which the predetermined type of transmitting operation corresponds, in a case where said discriminating unit discriminates that the predetermined type of transmitting operation is not in the state available for the communication apparatus.

A communication method for transmitting data, comprising:
- a transmitting step of transmitting data and capable of executing one of plural types of transmitting operation;
- a management step of managing and importing, from an external device, address management information managed in the external device;
- an obtaining step of obtaining the transmission destination based on the address information included in the address management information;
- and
- a control step of controlling said transmitting step so as to transmit data to the transmission destination obtained in said obtaining step using one of the plural types of transmitting operations corresponding to the transmission destination;
- wherein said management step imports the plurality of address information corresponding to predetermined type of transmitting operation included in the plurality of transmitting operations in a case where the predetermined type of transmitting operation is in a state available for said communication method, and
- wherein said management step does not import the plurality of address information corresponding to the predetermined type of transmitting operation in a case where the predetermined type of transmitting operation is not in the state available for said communication method.

- an obtaining step of obtaining the transmission destination based on the address information included in the address management information;
- a control step of controlling said transmitting step so as to transmit data to the transmission destination obtained in said obtaining step using one of the plural types of transmitting operations corresponding to the transmission destination;
- and
- a discriminating step of discriminating whether each of the plurality of transmitting operations is in a state available for said communication method or not,
- wherein said obtaining step can obtain predetermined address information stored in a storage unit to which predetermined type of transmitting operation included in the plural types of transmitting operations corresponds, in a case where said discriminating step discriminates that the predetermined type of transmitting operation is in the state available for said communication method, and
- wherein said obtaining step can not obtain the predetermined address information stored in the storage unit to which the predetermined type of transmitting operation corresponds in a case where said discriminating step discriminates that the predetermined type of transmitting operation is not in the state available for said communication method.
