Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for converting the format of data to be transmitted into an appropriate form and for transmitting the data to a data receiving apparatus when the data receiving apparatus does not support a data format which can be output by a data transmission apparatus on a network. A controller acquires information of a data format which can be transmitted by a source apparatus and a data format which can be received by a destination apparatus. When the destination apparatus cannot receive the data format which can be transmitted by the source apparatus, the controller instructs the source apparatus to transmit data to the controller. The controller receiving the data converts the data format into a format in which the data can be received by the destination apparatus, and transmits the data to the destination apparatus.
