Image processing apparatus, control method thereof, and storage medium
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus capable of communicating with an external apparatus via a network, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to receive image data;
a registering unit configured to register a transfer setting containing an identification (ID) for identifying destination information stored in the external apparatus to transfer the image data received by the receiving unit;
an acquisition unit configured to acquire, via the network from the external apparatus, the destination information corresponding to the ID contained in the transfer setting registered by the registering unit;
a transfer unit configured to transfer the image data received by the receiving unit using the destination information acquired by the acquisition unit; and
a control unit configured to invalidate the transfer setting registered by the registering unit in a case where the acquisition unit cannot acquire the destination information due to a fact that the destination information corresponding to the ID is not stored in the external apparatus,wherein the control unit does not invalidate the transfer setting registered by the registering unit in a case where the acquisition unit cannot acquire the destination information due to a communication error with the external apparatus,wherein at least one of the receiving unit, the registering unit, the acquisition unit, the transfer unit, and the control unit is implemented by a processor and a memory.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus capable of communicating with an external apparatus via a network registers a transfer setting containing an ID for identifying destination information stored in the external apparatus to transfer received image data, acquires the destination information corresponding to the ID contained in the registered transfer setting from the external apparatus, and transfers the received image data using the acquired destination information. When the destination information cannot be acquired, a cause why the destination information cannot be acquired is determined, and if the cause why the destination information cannot be acquired is due to a communication error with the external apparatus, the registered transfer setting is not invalidated and when the cause why the destination information cannot be acquired is that no destination information corresponding to the ID is stored by the external apparatus, the registered transfer setting is invalidated.

6. A method for controlling an image processing apparatus capable of communicating with an external apparatus via a network, the method comprising:
-
receiving image data; registering a transfer setting containing an identification (ID) for identifying destination information stored in the external apparatus to transfer the received image data; acquiring, via the network from the external apparatus, the destination information corresponding to the ID contained in the registered transfer setting; transferring the received image data using the acquired destination information; and invalidating the registered transfer setting in a case where acquiring cannot be acquire the destination information due to a fact that the destination information corresponding to the ID is not stored in the external apparatus, wherein invalidating includes not invalidating the registered transfer setting in a case where acquiring cannot acquire the destination information due to a communication error with the external apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (7)
