Abstract
An image communication apparatus capable of communicating with external apparatuses determines whether image data received from the external apparatuses is a first type of image data that was to be transmitted to the image communication apparatus or a second type of image data that was to be transmitted to other image communication apparatuses, and performs predetermined processing based on the determination result.
Claims10
An image communication apparatus capable of communicating with external apparatuses, comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to receive image data from the external apparatuses;
- a determining unit configured to determine whether image data received by the receiving unit is a first type of image data that was to be transmitted to the image communication apparatus or a second type of image data that was to be transmitted to other image communication apparatuses;
- and
- a processing unit configured to perform processing based on a determination result of the determining unit, wherein the receiving unit receives the image data by communicating with the external apparatuses using a session initiation protocol, wherein the determining unit makes a determination by determining whether first address information defined by the session initiation protocol is the same as second address information defined by the session initiation protocol and wherein the first address information defined by the session initiation protocol is a TO address, and the second address information defined by the session initiation protocol is a URI address.
A method for controlling an image communication apparatus capable of communicating with external apparatuses, the method comprising:
- receiving image data from the external apparatuses;
- determining whether received image data is a first type of image data that was to be transmitted to the image communication apparatus or a second type of image data that was to be transmitted to other image communication apparatuses;
- and
- performing processing based on the result of the determination, wherein image data is received by communicating with the external apparatuses using a session initiation protocol, wherein a determination is made by determining whether first address information defined by the session initiation protocol is the same as second address information defined by the session initiation protocol and wherein the first address information defined by the session initiation protocol is a TO address, and the second address information defined by the session initiation protocol is a URI address.
