Abstract

A data transmission apparatus that transmits data and receive at least a destination of the data from an external apparatus includes a reader that reads an image of an original, a network interface that transmits image data of the read image, a display that displays a setting screen including a display field for at least the destination of the data, a receiver that receives the destination data displayed in the display field from the external apparatus, and a controller that performs control such that the display is turned on based on receipt of the destination and that the setting screen where the destination is input in the display field is displayed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An image processing apparatus that reads an image of a document to generate image data based on the image and transmits image data, the image processing apparatus comprising:
a receiver configured to receive destination information from an external apparatus by wireless communication;
a display;
a controller configured to cause, based on receipt of the destination information, the display to display at least the received destination information; and
a transmitter configured to transmit the generated image data based on a destination corresponding to the displayed destination information,
wherein the controller determines whether data received from the external apparatus is the destination information, and
wherein the controller turns on the display based on receipt of an access from the external apparatus and then causes the display to display at least the destination information that is received based on the access, in a case where it is determined that the data received from the external apparatus on the access is the destination information.

2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter transmits the generated image data as facsimile data.

3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter transmits the generated image data as attachment data of an E-mail.

4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,
wherein the receiver further receives one or more of a title of the E-mail, a body text of the E-mail, or a file name of the attachment data from the external apparatus by the wireless communication, and
wherein the transmitter transmits the E-mail to which any one of the received title, the body text, or the file name is set.

5. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller does not turn one the display in a case where it is determined that the data received from the external apparatus on the access is data other than the destination information.

6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the controller determines whether the data received from the external apparatus is the destination information based on contents of a request transmitted from the external apparatus.

7. The image processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the controller determines that the data received from the external apparatus is the destination information when at least a protocol of the request is HTTP.

8. The image processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the controller determines that the data received from the external apparatus is the destination information when a specific character string is included in a uniform resource locator.

9. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller does not cause the display to display the destination information when another screen other than a predetermined screen is displayed.

10. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller causes the display to display one or more of a service set identifier or a network key required to communicate with the image processing apparatus.

11. The image processing apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the controller causes the display to display a two-dimensional barcode including one or more of the service set identifier or the network key.

12. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller causes the display to display a two-dimensional barcode including one or more of a service set identifier or a network key required to communicate with the image processing apparatus.

13. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a printing unit configured to print the image on a recording medium.

14. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an object for receiving a transmitting setting is displayed with the received destination information.

15. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller causes the display to display the received destination information without receiving a user operation after receiving the destination information from the external apparatus.

16. A control method for an image processing apparatus that reads an image of a document to generate image data based on the image and transmits image data, the control method comprising:
receiving destination information from an external apparatus by wireless communication;
causing, based on receipt of the destination information, the display to display at least the received destination information;
and
transmitting the generated image data based on a destination corresponding to the displayed destination information;
determining whether data received from the external apparatus is the destination information; and
turning on the display based on receipt of an access from the external apparatus and then causing the display to display at least the destination information that is received based on the access, in a case where it is determined that the data received from the external apparatus is the destination information.

17. The control method according to claim 16 , wherein the generated image data is transmitted based on the destination information as facsimile data.

18. The control method according to claim 16 , wherein the generated image data is transmitted based on the destination information as attachment data of an E-mail.

19. The control method according to claim 18 , further comprising receiving one or more of a title of the E-mail, a body text of the E-mail, or a file name of the attachment data from the external apparatus by the wireless communication,
wherein the E-mail to which any one of the received title, the body text, or the file name is set is transmitted.

20. The control method according to claim 16 , wherein the display displays the received destination information without receiving a user operation after receiving the destination information from the external apparatus.
