Abstract

An image processing apparatus, which has an input unit configured to input image data and which is communicably connected to an external apparatus via a network, includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain a document with a predetermined form that includes a request for input of image data, via the network from the external apparatus; a display unit configured to display, in the event of displaying a screen corresponding to the document obtained by the obtaining unit, a screen including a display object based on the predetermined form, the display object to instruct inputting of image data by the input unit; a determining unit configured to determine whether or not to display the display object on the display unit; and a control unit configured to control the display of the display object by the display unit, according to determination results of the determining unit.

Claims (33)

1. An image processing apparatus which is able to communicate with a web server via a network, the image processing apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor in communication with the memory, the processor configured to control:

a scanning unit configured to scan an image of an original;

a storage unit;

an obtaining unit configured to obtain content data provided by the web server; and

a display unit configured to display, in connection with a form included in the obtained content data, a screen for selecting one from (a) a scan button for uploading first image data to be generated by a scan of the original by the scanning unit and (b) a storage button for uploading second image data stored in the storage unit.

2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the content data is described in HTML format.

3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the storage unit stores the second image data as a plurality of boxes, and

wherein the display unit is further configured to display a designating screen for receiving, from a user, designation of a box from among the plurality of boxes in a case where the upload of the second image data stored by the storage unit is selected on the screen.

4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a control unit configured to cause the scanning unit to scan the image of the original according to a scanning setting received on a scanning setting screen.

5. The image processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the scanning setting includes scanning resolution.

6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a transmission unit configured to transmit the first image data or the second image data based on the selection on the screen displayed by the display unit.

7. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display unit displays the screen for selecting one from (a) the scan button for uploading the first image data to be generated by the scan of the original by the scanning unit, (b) the storage button for uploading the second image data stored in the storage unit and (c) a camera button for uploading third image data obtained from a camera apparatus.

8. A method for controlling an image processing apparatus in communication with a web server via a network, the image processing apparatus including a memory and a processor in communication with the memory, the method comprising:

scanning an image of an original;

storing image data in the memory;

obtaining content data provided by the web server; and

displaying, in connection with a form included in the obtained content data, a screen for selecting one from (a) a scan button for uploading first image data to be generated by a scan of the original and (b) a storage button for uploading second image data stored in the memory.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the content data is described in HTML format.

10. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

storing the second image data as a plurality of boxes in the memory, and

displaying a designating screen for receiving, from a user, designation of a box from among the plurality of boxes in a case where the upload of the second image data stored in the memory is selected on the screen.

11. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising scanning the image of the original according to a scanning setting received on a scanning setting screen.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the scanning setting includes scanning resolution.

13. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising transmitting the first image data or the second image data based on the selection on the displayed screen.

14. The image processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the displaying displays the screen for selecting one from (a) the scan button for uploading the first image data to be generated by the scan of the original, (b) the storage button for uploading the second image data stored in the memory and (c) a camera button for uploading third image data obtained from a camera apparatus.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions causing a computer to execute a method for controlling an image processing apparatus in communication with a web server via a network, the image processing apparatus including a memory and a processor in communication with the memory, the method comprising:

scanning an image of an original;

storing image data in the memory;

obtaining content data provided by the web server; and

displaying, in connection with a form included in the obtained content data, a screen for selecting one from (a) a scan button for uploading first image data to be generated by a scan of the original and (b) a storage button for uploading second image data stored in the memory.
