IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS WHICH TRANSMITS IMAGE DATA TO AN EXTERNAL APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Abstract

A control method for an image processing apparatus includes reading an original document, analyzing code information in image data generated by reading of the original document, acquiring authentication information for logging in to an external apparatus by analyzing the code information, logging in to the external apparatus using the acquired authentication information, and transmitting the image data to the external apparatus to which the logging in is performed.

Description

Claims

1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a reading unit configured to read an original document and generate image data representing the original document;an analysis unit configured to analyze code information in the generated image data representing the original document;an acquisition unit configured to acquire authentication information for logging into an external apparatus based on the analyzed code information;a login unit configured to log in to the external apparatus using the acquired authentication information; anda transmission unit configured to, upon logging into the external apparatus, transmit the generated image data to the external apparatus.

2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the analysis unit further acquires storage location information indicating a storage location for storing image data by analyzing the code information in the generated image data, andwherein the transmission unit, upon logging into the external apparatus, transmits the storage location information and the image data to the external apparatus.

3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising: a receiving unit configured to receive second image data and the storage location information from the external apparatus;a generation unit configured to generate the code information based on at least the storage location information received by the receiving unit; anda print unit configured to print an image based on the second image data received by the receiving unit and the code information generated by the generation unit.

4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the generation unit generates the code information based on authentication information accepted from a user, and the storage location information received by the receiving unit, andwherein the print unit prints an image based on the second image data received by the receiving unit and the code information generated by the generation unit.

5. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the storage location information indicates a storage location in another external apparatus different from the external apparatus.

6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the storage location information is a file path.

7. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a presenting unit configured to present a screen for accepting other authentication information from a user when logging in to the external apparatus using the authentication information acquired by the acquisition unit fails, wherein the login unit logs in to the external apparatus using the other authentication information.

8. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a designation unit configured to designate an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the external apparatus.

9. A control method for an image processing apparatus, the control method comprising: reading an original document;analyzing code information in image data generated by reading of the original document;acquiring authentication information for logging in to an external apparatus by analyzing the code information;logging in to the external apparatus using the acquired authentication information; andtransmitting the image data to the external apparatus to which the logging in is performed.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, executes a control method for controlling an image processing apparatus, the control method comprising: analyzing code information in image data generated by reading an original document;acquiring authentication information for logging in to an external apparatus by analyzing the code information;logging in to the external apparatus using the acquired authentication information; andtransmitting the image data to the external apparatus to which the logging in is performed.
