Abstract

A mobile terminal comprises: a communication unit configured to perform near field communication with a peripheral apparatus; a unit configured to switch from near field communication performed by the communication unit to communication via another communication path; and an obtaining unit configured to transmit authentication information of a fax to the peripheral apparatus, and to obtain a fax data set corresponding to the authentication information from the peripheral apparatus via the another communication path.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

a communication unit configured to perform near field communication with a peripheral apparatus;

a unit configured to switch from near field communication performed by the communication unit to communication via another communication path; and

an obtaining unit configured to transmit authentication information of a fax to the peripheral apparatus, and to obtain a fax data set corresponding to the authentication information from the peripheral apparatus via said another communication path.

2. The mobile terminal according to claim 1,

wherein the obtaining unit transmits communication information to the peripheral apparatus, the communication information being for communication with the mobile terminal via said another communication path.

3. The mobile terminal according to claim 1,

wherein the obtaining unit transmits attribute information to the peripheral apparatus, and obtains a fax data set extracted according to the attribute information, the attribute information being used for extracting a fax data set from among fax data sets corresponding to the authentication information.

4. The mobile terminal according to claim 3,

wherein the peripheral apparatus is a fax machine, and

the attribute information is a fax number of a sender that has transmitted a fax data set to the fax machine.

5. The mobile terminal according to claim 1,

wherein the authentication information is set in association with each of a plurality of storage areas provided in a storage unit of the peripheral apparatus.

6. The mobile terminal according to claim 5,

wherein the authentication information is a pair of an F code ID and a password which are set for each confidential box for an F code confidential function.

7. A method of controlling a mobile terminal, comprising:

performing near field communication with a peripheral apparatus;

switching from near field communication to communication via another communication path; and

transmitting authentication information of a fax to the peripheral apparatus, and obtaining a fax data set corresponding to the authentication information from the peripheral apparatus via said another communication path.

8. The method according to claim 7,

wherein, in the obtaining, communication information is transmitted to the peripheral apparatus, the communication information being for communication with the mobile terminal via said another communication path.

9. The method according to claim 7,

wherein, in the obtaining, attribute information is transmitted to the peripheral apparatus, and a fax data set extracted according to the attribute information is obtained, the attribute information being used for extracting a fax data set from among fax data sets corresponding to the authentication information.

10. The method according to claim 9,

wherein the peripheral apparatus is a fax machine, and

the attribute information is a fax number of a sender that has transmitted a fax data set to the fax machine.

11. The method according to claim 7,

wherein the authentication information is set in association with each of a plurality of storage areas provided in a storage unit of the peripheral apparatus.

12. The method according to claim 11,

wherein the authentication information is a pair of an F code ID and a password which are set for each confidential box for an F code confidential function.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program for enabling a computer to serve as:

a communication unit configured to perform near field communication with a peripheral apparatus;

a unit configured to switch from near field communication performed by the communication unit to communication via another communication path; and

an obtaining unit configured to transmit authentication information of a fax to the peripheral apparatus, and to obtain a fax data set corresponding to the authentication information from the peripheral apparatus via said another communication path.
