Wired communication apparatus, method for controlling the same, and storage medium

摘要

A communication apparatus having a wired interface configured to communicate with another communication apparatus via a wired communication includes a switching unit configured to switch between a first mode enabling a power-saving function in the wired interface and a second mode disabling the power-saving function, a processing unit configured to perform predetermined processing using data received via the wired interface from the other communication apparatus, and a limitation unit configured to limit the switching performed by the switching unit when the processing unit is performing the predetermined processing.

1. A communication apparatus comprising:
a wired interface configured to communicate with another communication apparatus via a wired communication; a display control unit configured to cause a display unit to display a first screen image for a user to switch between a first mode enabling a power-saving function in the wired interface and a second mode disabling the power-saving function; an input unit configured to allow the user to input an instruction for switching between the first mode and the second mode while the first screen image is displayed by the display unit; a processing unit configured to perform predetermined processing using data received via the wired interface from said another communication apparatus; and a control unit configured to:
(1) restrict the user from inputting the instruction for switching between the first mode and the second mode via the input unit while the processing unit is performing the predetermined processing, by not displaying the first screen image but displaying a second screen image different from the first screen image, and(2) allow the user to input the instruction for switching between the first mode and the second mode via the input unit if the processing unit is not performing the predetermined processing, by displaying the first screen image without displaying the second screen image.
