Abstract

An image processing apparatus that transmits image data via a network, and a method of controlling the same, store a common destination table that users can reference commonly, and a personal destination table that a specific user can reference, and control so that when a transfer destination of image data in accordance with an operation of a user is set, the user can set the transfer destination by referencing the common destination table excluding the stored personal destination table.

Claims (34)

1. An image processing apparatus which has a transmitting function for scanning a document and transmitting image data of the scanned document and which has a transferring function for receiving image data and transmitting the received image data, comprising:

at least one storage medium configured (i) to store instructions, and (ii) to store a first address book that users can reference commonly, and a second address book that only a login user who logs into the image processing apparatus can reference; and

at least one processor that, upon execution of the instructions stored in the at least one storage medium, functions as

an accepting unit configured to accept a first display request of an address book for setting a transmitting destination of the transmitting function or a second display request of an address book for setting a transferring destination of the transferring function; and

a control unit configured to enable a display unit to display, in accordance with accepting the first display request by the accepting unit in a state that a user logs into the image processing apparatus, the first address book and the second address book,

wherein the control unit enables the display unit to display, in accordance with accepting the second display request by the accepting unit in a state that a user logs into the image processing apparatus, the first address book without enabling to display the second address book.

2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit enables the display unit to display, in accordance with accepting the second display request by the accepting unit in a state that a user does not log into the image processing apparatus, the first address book.

3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a scanning unit configured to scan the document.

4. An image processing apparatus having a function configured to store image data, comprising:

at least one storage medium configured (i) to store instructions; (ii) to store a common destination table that users can reference commonly, and a personal destination table that a specific user can reference; and (iii) to have a shared box which users can share and a personal box for a specific user as a storage location for image data; and

at least one processor that, upon executing the instructions stored in the at least one storage medium, functions as

a setting unit configured to set a URI of an image data storage location in accordance with an operation of a user; and

a control unit configured to control such that if the image data storage location is the shared box when the setting unit sets the URI, the URI can be set by referencing the common destination table excluding the personal destination table stored in the storage unit.

5. The image processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

the control unit further controls to, if a storage location of the image data is the personal box when the setting unit sets the URI, enable setting of the URI by the setting unit that referenced the personal destination table and the common destination table stored in the storage unit under a condition that the user is authenticated.

6. A method of controlling an image processing apparatus which has a transmitting function for scanning a document and transmitting image data of the scanned document and which has a transferring function for receiving image data and transmitting the received image data, and which has a storage configured to store a first address book that users can reference commonly, and a second address book that only a login user who logs into the image processing apparatus can reference, the method comprising:

accepting a first display request of an address book for setting a transmitting destination of the transmitting function or a second display request of an address book for setting a transferring destination of the transferring function;

enabling a display unit to display, in accordance with accepting the first display request in a state that a user logs into the image processing apparatus, the first address book and the second address book; and

enabling the display unit to display, in accordance with accepting the second display request in a state that a user logs into the image processing apparatus, the first address book without enabling to display the second address book.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein, in accordance with accepting the second display request in a state that a user does not log into the image processing apparatus, enabling the display unit to display the first address book.

8. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising a step of scanning the document.

9. A method of controlling an image processing apparatus having a storage unit configured to store a common destination table that users can reference commonly, and a personal destination table that a specific user can reference, and having a function for storing image data,

there being a shared box which users can share and a personal box for a specific user as a storage location for image data, the method comprising:

setting a URI of an image data storage location in accordance with an operation of a user; and

controlling such that, if the image data storage location is the shared box when the URI is set, the URI can be set by referencing the common destination table excluding the personal destination table stored in the storage unit.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein, if a storage location of the image data is the personal box when the setting step sets the URI, enabling setting of the URI by a setting unit that referenced the personal destination table and the common destination table stored in the storage unit under a condition that the user is authenticated.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling an image processing apparatus having a storage unit configured to store a common destination table that users can reference commonly, and a personal destination table that a specific user can reference, and having a function for storing image data,

there being a shared box which users can share and a personal box for a specific user as a storage location for image data, the method comprising:

setting a URI of an image data storage location in accordance with an operation of a user; and

controlling such that, if the image data storage location is the shared box when the URI is set, the URI can be set by referencing the common destination table excluding the personal destination table stored in the storage unit.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling an image processing apparatus which has a transmitting function for scanning a document and transmitting image data of the scanned document and which has a transferring function for receiving image data and transmitting the received image data, and which has a storage configured to store a first address book that users can reference commonly, and a second address book that only a login user who logs into the image processing apparatus can reference, the method comprising:

accepting a first display request of an address book for setting a transmitting destination of the transmitting function or a second display request of an address book for setting a transferring destination of the transferring function;

enabling a display unit to display, in accordance with accepting the first display request in a state that a user logs into the image processing apparatus, the first address book and the second address book; and

enabling the display unit to display, in accordance with accepting the second display request in a state that a user logs into the image processing apparatus, the first address book without enabling to display the second address book.
