Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and recording medium

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor, wherein the processor functions as:

an acquisition unit configured to acquire, from an image reading apparatus, storage location information representing a storage location for an image file in a first external information processing apparatus;

a control unit configured to determine whether the storage location for the image file can store the image file based on the acquired storage location information; and

a display unit configured to display a screen for generating a scan ticket;

wherein, in response to the determination that the storage location for the image file can store the image file, the acquisition unit acquires, from a second external information processing apparatus, screen information used to generate the screen for generating the scan ticket, the control unit creates, based on the acquired storage location information and screen information, the screen for generating the scan ticket, and the display unit displays the screen for generating the scan ticket which includes the acquired storage location.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is further configured to generate a list of image reading apparatuses which use a scan service and to receive a user selection of an image reading apparatus from the list of image reading apparatuses, and

the acquisition unit is further configured to acquire, from the user selected image reading apparatus, the storage location information representing the storage location of the image file in the first external information processing apparatus.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the image file is stored in the acquired storage location for the image file in the first external information processing apparatus after the second external information processing apparatus generates the image file based on image data, wherein the image data is acquired by the second external information processing apparatus from the image reading apparatus.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the control unit is further configured to verify the storage location for the image file in the first external information processing apparatus, and, in response to verifying the storage location for the image file in the first external information processing apparatus, determine that the storage location for the image file can store the image file based on the acquired storage location information.

5. A control method comprising:

acquiring, from an image reading apparatus, storage location information representing a storage location for an image file in a first external information processing apparatus; and

determining whether the storage location for the image file can store the image file based on the acquired storage location information,

in response to determining that the storage location for the image file can store the image file, acquiring, from a second external information processing apparatus, screen information used to generate a screen for generating a scan ticket;

creating the screen for generating the scan ticket based on the acquired storage location and the acquired screen information; and

displaying the created screen for generating the scan ticket.

6. The control method according to claim 5 further comprising:

generating a list of image reading apparatuses that use a scan service,

receiving a selection of an image reading apparatus from the list of image reading apparatuses, and

acquiring, from the selected image reading apparatus, the storage location information representing the storage location for the image file in the first external information processing apparatus.

7. The control method according to claim 5 , wherein the image file is generated by the second external information processing apparatus based on image data and stored in the storage location for the image file, wherein the image data is acquired from the image reading apparatus by the second external information processing apparatus.

8. The control method according to claim 5 further comprising:

verifying that the storage location for the image file in the first external information processing apparatus; and

in response to verifying the storage location for the image file in the first external information processing apparatus, determine that the storage location for the image file can store the image file based on the acquired storage location information.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a control method, the method comprising:

acquiring, from an image reading apparatus, storage location information representing a storage location for an image file in a first external information processing apparatus;

determining whether the storage location for the image file can store the image file based on the acquired storage location information;

in response to determining that the storage location for the image file can store the image file, acquiring, from a second external information processing apparatus, screen information used to generate a screen for generating a scan ticket designating a storage location;

creating the screen for generating the scan ticket based on the acquired screen information and the acquired storage location; and

displaying the screen for generating the scan ticket.
