PRINTING CONTROL APPARATUS AND COMMUNICATION METHOD

摘要

This invention provides a technique capable of appropriately executing, for a communication terminal apparatus, charging processing for printing. When a printing apparatus detects a communication terminal, if the ID information of the communication terminal matches ID information corresponding to a communication terminal which has transmitted print target data, the printing apparatus executes charging processing for printing of the print target data, and print processing for the print target data.

主权项

1. A printing control apparatus for controlling a communication unit and a printing unit to perform short distance wireless communication, and controlling printing of data which has been requested by a communication terminal via the communication unit, comprising:
a reception unit configured to receive ID information for specifying the communication terminal or a user of the communication terminal from the communication terminal via the communication unit; a transition unit configured to perform, in a case where said reception unit receives the ID information, transition to a communication standby status for predetermined processing for the printing of the print target data which has been requested by the communication terminal via the communication unit; and an execution unit configured to execute, in a case where a communication terminal is detected via the communication unit in the communication standby status by said transition unit, and ID information of the communication terminal corresponds to the ID information received by said reception unit, the predetermined processing for the printing of the print target data.
