Abstract
In an information processing apparatus capable of performing communication using each of a plurality of communication methods, information used to communicate with an external apparatus of the information processing apparatus by a second communication method among the plurality of communication methods is received from the external apparatus by a first communication method among the plurality of communication methods. The external apparatus is notified, by the second communication method based on the received information, of information about execution of predetermined processing in accordance with a result obtained by determining the status of the communication with the external apparatus by the first communication method.
Claims17
A printer capable of performing communication using each of a first communication method and a second communication method having a communication range wider than that of the first communication method, comprising:
- at least one processer;
- and
- at least one memory configured to store a program which can be executed by the at least one processer,
- wherein the at least one processer receives, from an external apparatus by the first communication method, both of first information used to communicate with the external apparatus by the second communication method and second information used to access to a storage location of processing target data, in response to establishment of communication with the external apparatus by the first communication method, and
- the at least one processer acquires the processing target data, by accessing to the storage location by the second communication method based on the received second information, and;
- the at least one processer transfers, by the second communication method based on the received first information, information about printing of an image corresponding to the acquired processing target data, to the external apparatus.
A method of controlling a printer capable of performing communication using each of a first communication method and a second communication method having a communication range wider than that of the first communication method, comprising:
- a reception step of receiving, from an external apparatus by the first communication method, both of first information used to communicate with the external apparatus by the second communication method and second information used to access to a storage location of processing target data, in response to establishment of communication with the external apparatus by the first communication method;
- and
- a step of acquiring the processing target data, by accessing to the storage location by the second communication method based on the second information received by said reception step and
- a step of transferring, by the second communication method based on the first information received in said reception step, information about execution of printing of an image corresponding to the acquired processing target data, to the external apparatus.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a method of controlling a printer capable of performing communication using each of a first communication method and a second communication method having a communication range wider than that of the first communication method:
- a reception step of receiving, from an external apparatus by the first communication method, both of first information used to communicate with the external apparatus by the second communication method and second information used to access to a storage location of processing target data in response to establishment of communication with the external apparatus by the first communication method;
- and
- a step of acquiring the processing target data, by accessing to the storage location by the second communication method based on the second information received by said reception unit and
- a step of transferring, by the second communication method based on the first information received in the reception step, information about printing of an image corresponding to the acquired processing target data, to the external apparatus.
