An electronic device includes a connection unit including a first terminal for receiving power from a power supply apparatus and a second terminal for receiving power supply capability of the power supply apparatus, a communication control unit that performs communication with the power supply apparatus via the second terminal, and a power control unit that performs a process for limiting power supplied from the power supply apparatus to a predetermined power or less in a case where the power supply capability is received from the power supply apparatus.

Electronic device

An electronic device includes a connection unit that receive power from a power supply apparatus via a first terminal, a communication control unit that communicates with the power supply apparatus via a second terminal to receive power supply capability information of the power supply apparatus, and a control unit that disables activation of the electronic device before the communication control unit receives a predetermined notification from the power supply apparatus.

Electronic device, method, and storage medium

An image capture apparatus comprises an image capturing unit, and a communication unit configured to transmit, to an image processing apparatus that develops RAW images, a plurality of RAW images obtained by the image capturing unit by performing continuous shooting. The communication unit, in a case where a setting at the time of shooting is a predetermined shooting setting, transmits one or more RAW images shot earlier than a time point when a predetermined shooting instruction is received among the plurality of RAW images before transmitting other RAW images, and in a case where the setting at the time of shooting is not the predetermined shooting setting, transmits one or more RAW images shot later than the time point when the predetermined shooting instruction is received among the plurality of RAW images before transmitting other RAW images.

Image capture apparatus, image processing apparatus, and control method

An electronic device includes a charging unit, a maintaining unit, and a control unit. The charging unit charges a battery device with power supplied from a power supply line of an external cable. The maintaining unit maintains a connected state to a predetermined voltage of a specific line of the external cable by using power supplied from the power supply line. The control unit controls the maintaining unit so that the connected state is maintained by the maintaining unit, in a case where the charging unit is charging the battery device with power supplied from the power supply line when the electronic device is set to a power-off state.

Device with power-off charging capability

A communication apparatus searches for an external apparatus prior to connecting to a wireless network, determines a service provided by the searched external apparatus, transmits a request, based on the determined service, and connects, when the request for utilizing the service is accepted, to the wireless network to establish communication with the external apparatus through the wireless network.

Communication apparatus and control method thereof

A recording medium removable from a host device includes a wireless communication unit for performing wireless communication with an external device different from the host device. The recording medium includes an image transmission control unit which transmits image data to the external device via the wireless communication established by the wireless communication unit by using an image transmission protocol. The recording medium switches which of the image transmission control unit of the recording medium and an image transmission control unit of the host device is used to communicate with the external device via the wireless communication unit.

Recording medium and control method thereof

If connection to an output apparatus is detected, a configuring apparatus acquires information about the output apparatus. If disconnection of communication connection with the output apparatus is detected, the configuring apparatus makes various configurations based on the acquired information. If communication connection with the output apparatus is detected again after the configuration, the configuring apparatus transmits the configured information to the output apparatus.

Configuring apparatus, image output apparatus, methods of controlling the same, and program

In an apparatus, object information and information on a transmission destination representing the transmission destination of image data are registered in correspondence with each other. An object in the image data is identified. The image data is transmitted to a transmission destination represented by information on a transmission destination corresponding to identified object information. The transmission status of the image data by a transmission unit is displayed on a display unit together with the image data.

Image processing apparatus, method of controlling the same, and storage medium

A network control apparatus forming a network with a plurality of image-processing apparatuses acquires attribute information about images stored in each image-processing apparatus from the plurality of image-processing apvaluesparatuses, arranges a display order of the images based on the attribute information, detects a change in the configuration of the image-processing apparatuses on the network, and rearranges the display order if a change in the configuration of the image-processing apparatuses on the network is detected.

Network control apparatus, network control method, storage medium

An image pickup apparatus includes a capturing unit configured to capture a subject; a generating unit configured to generate a request packet to request information of an image stored in an external apparatus, wherein the request packet includes a parameter of the capturing; a request packet transmitting unit configured to transmit the request packet to the external apparatus, a response packet receiving unit configured to receive a response packet corresponding to the request packet, wherein the response packet includes the information of the image stored in the external apparatus; and an image acquiring unit configured to acquire the image from the external apparatus based on the information included in the response packet, wherein the generating unit generates the request packet in response to instructions to allow the capturing unit to perform capturing.

Image pickup apparatus having communication function, method for controlling the same, and computer-readable storage medium

A digital cameraand a printermutually determine if each other supports PS mode. If both of them support PS mode, these two apparatuses form a network for PS by themselves and wirelessly communicate with PS mode enabled. If at least one of them does not support PS mode, normal wireless communication is performed with PS mode disabled.

A communication apparatus includes a communication mode detecting unit and an IP address determining unit. The communication mode detecting unit detects whether a communication mode is a first wireless communication mode or a second wireless communication mode. The IP address determining unit (a) determines an IP address using first and second time out values if the communication mode detecting unit detects that the communication mode is the first wireless communication mode, and (b) determines an IP address using third and fourth time out values if the communication mode detecting unit detects that the communication mode is the second wireless communication mode. The first and third time out values are used for a first addressing method, and the second and fourth time out values are used for a second addressing method different from the first addressing method.

The invention realizes a simple and easy file transfer system by setting a communication parameter without requiring a manual input by a user and transferring a parameter indicating a file transfer job. A third communication equipment transmits a communication parameter for executing a data communication between a first communication equipment and a second communication equipment, to the first communication equipment, and in response to the transmission of the communication parameter, receives a parameter indicating a file transfer job for transmitting files to the second communication from the first communication equipment, from the first communication equipment, and transmits the parameter indicating the file transfer job and the communication parameter to the second communication equipment.

Communication control apparatus transmitting a communication parameter to first and second communication apparatuses to enable them to communicate with each other, file transfer system and control method for communication control apparatus
