Abstract
A communication apparatus, comprises a wireless communication unit configured to provide a wireless parameter to an image processing apparatus that processes data of the communication apparatus; and a control unit configured to, in a case where the wireless parameter can be shared with the image processing apparatus by the wireless communication unit, cause the image processing apparatus to execute processing of the data without receiving a selection of an image processing apparatus.
Claims9
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the communication apparatus to:
- select an image to be printed;
- receive from a user an instruction for initiating processing of a wireless parameter automatic setting, in a state where the image to be printed is selected;
- create a wireless network based on a wireless parameter;
- perform the processing of a wireless parameter automatic setting with a partner apparatus that connects to the wireless network, so as to provide the partner apparatus with the wireless parameter;
- determine whether or not the partner apparatus connected to the wireless network using the wireless parameter provided by the processing of a wireless parameter automatic setting is a printer apparatus;
- and
- automatically transmit the selected image to the partner apparatus without performing a printer selection process by the user, in a case where it is determined that the partner apparatus is the printer apparatus.
A method of controlling a communication apparatus, the method comprising:
- selecting an image to be printed;
- receiving from a user an instruction for initiating processing of a wireless parameter automatic setting, in a state where the image to be printed is selected
- creating a wireless network based on a wireless parameter;
- performing the processing of a wireless parameter automatic setting with a partner apparatus that connects to the wireless network, so as to provide the partner apparatus with the wireless parameter;
- determining whether or not the partner apparatus connected to the wireless network using the wireless parameter provided by the processing of a wireless parameter automatic setting is a printer apparatus;
- and
- automatically transmitting the selected image to the partner apparatus without performing a printer selection process by the user, in a case where it is determined that the partner apparatus is the printer apparatus.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling a communication apparatus, the method comprising:
- selecting an image to be printed;
- receiving from a user an instruction for initiating processing of a wireless parameter automatic setting, in a state where the image to be printed is selected;
- creating a wireless network based on a wireless parameter;
- performing the processing of a wireless parameter automatic setting with a partner apparatus that connects to the wireless network, so as to provide the partner apparatus with the wireless parameter;
- determining whether or not the partner apparatus connected to the wireless network using the wireless parameter provided by the processing of a wireless parameter automatic setting is a printer apparatus;
- and
- automatically transmitting the selected image to the partner apparatus without performing a printer selection process by the user, in a case where it is determined that the partner apparatus is the printer apparatus.
