Abstract

An image processing apparatus capable of shifting to a power saving mode. The image processing apparatus includes a storing unit configured to store a document in a storage device, a notification unit configured to periodically notify an apparatus of a predetermined destination of information about a document that has been newly stored by the storing unit into the storage device, and a control unit configured to restrict shifting to a power saving mode in which the notification unit cannot make the notification after storage of a document by the storing unit has been completed and until the notification unit notifies at least information about the document.

Claims (20)

1. A data processing apparatus, comprising:

one or more memories storing instructions; and

one or more processors of executing the instructions to:

store data in a storage device of the data processing apparatus; and

perform control to send an e-mail including information indicative of a storage location of the data which is stored in the storage device,

wherein a controller of the data processing apparatus is not shifted to a power saving mode for stopping or reducing power supplied to the controller until an e-mail including information indicative of a storage location of the data is sent after the data has been stored in the storage device.

2. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where data has been stored in the storage device and an e-mail including information indicative of a storage location of the data has been sent, the controller is shifted to the power saving mode on the basis that an instruction for shifting to the power saving mode is received.

3. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where data has been stored in the storage device and an e-mail including information indicative of a storage location of the data has been sent, the controller is shifted to the power saving mode on the basis that an event shifts to the power saving mode occurs.

4. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the power saving mode is a power mode that power consumption of the controller is less than power consumption of the controller in a normal power mode.

5. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors further execute the instructions to notify a user that the controller is not shifted to the power saving mode.

6. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the storage location is a universal resource identifier.

7. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the email is sent to a destination registered in association with the storage location.

8. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the storage location is a previously set folder.

9. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors further execute the instructions to confirm periodically whether new data has been stored in the storage device.

10. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1 further comprising, a scanner which reads a document, wherein the data stored in the storage device is data obtained by the scanner reading the document.

11. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the data stored in the storage device is data received from another apparatus via a network.

12. A control method for a data processing apparatus, the control method comprising:

storing data in a storage device of the data processing apparatus; and

performing control to send an e-mail including information indicative of a storage location of the data which is stored in the storage device,

wherein a controller of the data processing apparatus is not shifted to the power saving mode for stopping or reducing power supplied to the controller until an e-mail including information indicative of a storage location of the data is sent after data has been stored in the storage device.
