Patent ID: 8289550

Claim:
An image output system which connects an image input apparatus and an image output apparatus by a close proximity wireless communication, and outputs image data, which is transmitted from the image input apparatus by the close proximity wireless communication, by the image output apparatus, the image input apparatus comprising: a first communication unit configured to perform the close proximity wireless communication; a first detection unit configured to detect whether state of the close proximity wireless communication is connected or disconnected; an operation unit configured to accept a user operation that designates output processing to be executed by the image output apparatus; a script generation unit configured to generate a script used to define the output processing in accordance with at least the user operation accepted by the operation unit; and a first control unit configured to control the first communication unit to transmit the script generated by the script generation unit to the image output apparatus when the first detection unit detects the disconnection after the first communication unit transmits image data, and the first detection unit detects the connection again after detection of the disconnection, and the image output apparatus comprising: a second communication unit configured to perform the close proximity wireless communication; a second detection unit configured to detect whether state of the close proximity wireless communication is connected or disconnected; an image output unit configured to output image data; and a second control unit configured to suspend output processing of the image data by the image output unit when the second detection unit detects the disconnection during the output processing of the image data, which is received by the second communication unit, by the image output unit, and to control the output processing of the image data by the image output unit in accordance with the script received from the image input apparatus by the second communication unit when the second detection unit detects the connection again.
