Patent ID: 8867102

Claim:
A communication apparatus comprising: an input unit configured to input image data; a setting unit configured to set, according to user's setting operation, a transmission address corresponding to one of a plurality of types of transmission protocols; a storage unit configured to store the transmission address set by the setting unit; a reception unit configured to receive a transmission instruction; a transmission unit configured to transmit, in response to reception of a first transmission instruction by the reception unit, first image data input by the input unit to the transmission address set by the setting unit in accordance with a type of transmission protocol corresponding to the set transmission address; and a control unit configured to control the transmission unit to transmit, in response to reception of a second transmission instruction by the reception unit, second image data input by the input unit to the set transmission address which is stored in the storage unit, wherein, in a case where the transmission address set by the setting unit corresponds to a first type of transmission protocol, the control unit deletes the transmission address which is stored in the storage unit such that the second image data cannot be transmitted without setting a transmission address, and wherein, in a case where the transmission address set by the setting unit corresponds to a second type of transmission protocol, the storage unit keeps storing the transmission address set by the setting unit after the transmission unit transmits the first image data input by the input unit to the transmission address set by the setting unit in response to the reception of the first transmission instruction by the reception unit.
