Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus having a communication unit configured to receive data from a connected external device via a communication interface of the external device, the apparatus comprising: a decision unit configured to decide whether a recording medium included in the external device comprises a wireless communication unit that is a different communication interface from the communication interface of the external device; and a control unit configured to control a save destination of data received by the communication unit from the external device via the communication interface, wherein in a case where said decision unit decides that the recording medium does not comprise the wireless communication unit, said control unit stores data received by the communication unit from the external device in a pre-determined first save destination, and in a case where said decision unit decides that the recording medium comprises the wireless communication unit, said control unit acquires information of a second save destination, which is different from the first save destination, for storing data transmitted by the wireless communication unit from the recording medium, and stores data received by the communication unit from the external device in the second save destination, not the first save destination.
