Information communication terminal, peripheral device cooperation method, and program

A peripheral device cooperation method in an information communication terminal, comprising steps of:

• receiving, from a plurality of connected peripheral devices, setting values of notification setting for the plurality of connected peripheral devices;
• storing the received setting values of notification setting for the plurality of peripheral device in a peripheral device setting storage unit;
• storing, in a service application setting storage unit, setting values of notification setting from a service application to the plurality of connected peripheral devices by using the setting values stored in the peripheral device setting storage unit as initial values;
• assigning a setting value of notification setting to transmission data on the basis of a setting value stored in the service application setting storage unit when the transmission data are received from the service application;
• and
• transmitting the transmission data to which the setting value of notification setting is assigned to at least one peripheral device;
• the method further comprising the steps of:
• when a notification from the service application to an operating system is received and when the service application is not found in the service application setting storage unit, storing a setting value of the service application in the service application setting storage unit and assigning a setting value of notification setting to the notification to the operating system on the basis of the setting value stored in the service application setting storage unit, and transmitting the transmission data to which the setting value of notification setting is assigned to the at least one peripheral device, and
• when the notification from the service application to the operating system is received and when the service application is found in the service application setting storage unit and the notification setting for the service application in the service application setting storage unit is ON, discarding the received notification to the operating system without transmitting to the peripheral device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium which stores a program causing a computer as an information communication terminal for cooperating with peripheral devices to function as:

• a reception means for receiving, from a plurality of connected peripheral devices, setting values of notification setting for the plurality of connected peripheral devices;
• a peripheral device setting storage means for storing the received setting values of notification setting for the plurality of peripheral devices;
• a service application setting storage means for storing setting values of notification setting from a service application to the plurality of connected peripheral devices by using the setting values stored in the peripheral device setting storage means as initial values;
• a control means for assigning a setting value of notification setting to transmission data on the basis of a setting value stored in the service application setting storage means when the transmission data are received from the service application;
• and
• a transmission means for transmitting the transmission data to which the setting value of notification setting is assigned to at least one peripheral device;
• wherein, when a notification from the service application to an operating system is received and when the service application is not found in the service application setting storage means, the control means stores a setting value of the service application in the service application setting storage means and assigns a setting value of notification setting to the notification to the operating system on the basis of the setting value stored in the service application setting storage means, and the transmission means transmits the transmission data to which the setting value of notification setting is assigned to the at least one peripheral device, and
• wherein, when the notification from the service application to the operating system is received and when the service application is found in the service application setting storage means and the notification setting for the service application in the service application setting storage means is ON, the control means discards the received notification to the operating system without transmitting to the peripheral device.
