Processing apparatus and communication method

Abstract

An embodiment of the invention has been made to solve a problem that it is impossible to store externally transmitted job information if a printer apparatus is in a hard-off state and it is, therefore, necessary to store the job information in an external apparatus on the transmission side. In the embodiment, a wireless communication unit which can transmit/receive data even if no power is supplied receives job information from an external terminal, and stores it in a non-volatile memory. When an information processing apparatus is supplied with power, and enters a normal activation state, it executes the job stored in the non-volatile memory.

1 . A processing apparatus comprising:
 a communication unit configured to communicate with a communication device to receive an instruction for causing the apparatus to execute a predetermined process from the communication device, wherein even though power is not supplied from a power supply, the communication unit is able to receive data from the communication device and store the data into a memory;   a storage unit configured to store the instruction received by the communication unit into the memory; and   an execution unit configured to, in a case where power has not been supplied from the power supply, and the instruction has been stored into the memory by the storage unit, when power is supplied to the apparatus from the power supply, execute the predetermined process based on the instruction.
