Wireless printing system, information processing apparatus, printing apparatus and methods of controlling same

摘要

In a system in which communication between an information processing apparatus and a printing apparatus is possible, the information processing apparatus detects that communication with the printing apparatus has become possible and, in response to detection that such communication has become possible, generates print data based upon data that the information processing apparatus is displaying on a display unit connected to or built in the information processing apparatus, and transfers the generated print data to the printing apparatus. The printing apparatus prints the data received from the information processing apparatus.

主权项

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a wireless communication unit configured to perform wireless communication using NFC (Near Field Communication); a detection unit configured to detect that wireless connection with a communication partner apparatus through said wireless communication unit has established; and a transfer unit configured to, in a case where said detection unit detects that the wireless connection with the communication partner apparatus has established while thumbnails of a plurality of images are being displayed on a display unit of said information processing apparatus and one of the thumbnails is being selected, transfer, to the communication partner apparatus, print data for printing an image corresponding to the selected thumbnail, wherein each of the thumbnails presents contents of corresponding image, wherein the transfer unit starts transferring the print data without receiving transfer start instruction from a user after detection by the detection unit.
