Abstract

In order to achieve designation of a talk room of a chat service to share image data generated by scanning in an image processing apparatus, the image processing apparatus that communicates with a chat server, based on received information indicating a talk room of the chat server, the chat server controlling displaying of information indicating received image data on the talk room, includes a scanning unit configured to scan an image of an original document and generate image data based on the image, a designation unit configured to designate a talk room of the chat server, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the image data generated by the scanning unit and information indicating the talk room designated by the designation unit to the chat server.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A scanning apparatus comprising:
a scanning unit configured to scan an image of a document and generate image data based on the image;
a receiving unit configured to receive selection, by a user, of a channel of a chat service from a plurality of channels of the chat service; and
a transmission unit configured to transmit the image data generated by the scanning unit and information corresponding to the selected channel to a server relating to the chat service,
wherein the transmitted image data is stored in association with the selected channel.

2. The scanning apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an obtaining unit configured to obtain information corresponding to the plurality of channels; and
a display unit configured to display a plurality of objects based on the information obtained by the obtaining unit,
wherein the receiving unit is configured to receive selection of the channel by receiving selection of an object of the displayed objects.

3. The scanning apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the display unit is configured to display a predetermined screen on which information indicating the selected channel is set as a destination.

4. The scanning apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the scanning unit scans, based on an execution instruction input by the user while the predetermined screen is displayed on the display unit, the image of the document to generate the image data.

5. The scanning apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the transmission unit is configured to transmit, via another server, the image data generated by the scanning unit and the information corresponding to the selected channel to the server relating to the chat service.

6. The scanning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, based on receiving an execution instruction, the scanning unit scans the image of the document and generate image data and then the transmission unit transmits the image data generated by the scanning unit to the server.

7. The scanning apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the execution instruction is selection of a predetermined object.

8. The scanning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the channel of the chat service is a chat room.

9. The scanning apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the receiving unit is configured to receive, by the user, a file name of the image data to be transmitted to the server, and the receiving unit receives the file name of the image data before the scanning unit scans the document to generate the image data.

10. The scanning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the generated image data is a PDF file.

11. The scanning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission unit is configured to transmit the image data via hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) communication.

12. A scanning system comprising:
a scanning unit configured to scan an image of a document and generate image data based on the image;
a receiving unit configured to receive selection, by a user, of a channel of a chat service from a plurality of channels of the chat service; and
a transmission unit configured to transmit the image data generated by the scanning unit and information corresponding to the selected channel to a server relating to the chat service,
wherein the transmitted image data is stored in association with the selected channel.

13. The scanning system according to claim 12 , further comprising:
an obtaining unit configured to obtain information corresponding to the plurality of channels; and
a display unit configured to display a plurality of objects based on the information obtained by the obtaining unit,
wherein the receiving unit is configured to receive selection of the channel by receiving selection of an object of the displayed objects.

14. The scanning system according to claim 13 , wherein the display unit is configured to display a predetermined screen on which information indicating the selected channel is set as a destination.

15. The scanning system according to claim 14 , wherein the scanning unit scans, based on an execution instruction input by the user while the predetermined screen is displayed on the display unit, the image of the document to generate the image data.

16. The scanning system according to claim 12 , wherein the transmission unit is configured to transmit, via another server, the image data generated by the scanning unit and the information corresponding to the selected channel to the server relating to the chat service.

17. The scanning system according to claim 12 , wherein, based on receiving an execution instruction, the scanning unit scans the image of the document and generate image data and then the transmission unit transmits the image data generated by the scanning unit to the server.

18. The scanning system according to claim 17 , wherein the execution instructions is selection of a predetermined object.

19. The scanning system according to claim 12 , wherein the channel of the chat service is a chat room.

20. The scanning system according to claim 12 ,
wherein the receiving unit is configured to receive, by the user, a file name of the image data to be transmitted to the server, and
wherein the receiving unit receives the file name of the image data before the scanning unit scans the document to generate the image data.

21. The scanning system according to claim 12 , wherein the generated image data is PDF file.

22. The scanning system according to claim 12 , wherein the transmission unit is configured to transmit the image data via hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) communication.

23. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a scanning method, the scanning method comprising:
scanning an image of a document to generate image data based on the image;
receiving selection, by a user, of a channel of a chat service from a plurality of channels of the chat service; and
transmitting the image data generated by the scanning and information corresponding to the selected channel to a server relating to the chat service,
wherein the transmitted image data is stored in association with the selected channel.

24. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 23 , the scanning method further comprising:
obtaining information corresponding to the plurality of channels; and
displaying a plurality of objects based on the obtained information,
wherein the selection of the channel is selection of an object of the displayed objects.

25. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 24 , the scanning method further comprising:
displaying a predetermined screen on which information indicating the selected channel is set as a destination.

26. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 25 , wherein the image of the document is scanned, based on an execution instruction input by the user while the predetermined screen is displayed, to generate the image data.

27. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 23 , wherein the image data generated by the scanning and the information corresponding to the selected channel are transmitted via another server to the server relating to the chat service.
