The information processing device includes a device detection section and a recording processing section. The device detecting section detects the other information processing device connected to the wireless LAN. The recording processing section, after the device detecting section has detected the other information processing device connected to the wireless LAN, acquires the application data from the other information processing device via a cable. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing device connected to a local wireless local area network constituted by an access point, the information processing device acquiring application data from another information processing device connected to the local wireless local area network, the information processing device comprising: a device detecting section configured to detect the another information processing device connected to the local wireless local area network via the access point; and a recording processing section configured, after the device detecting section has detected the another information processing device connected to the local wireless local area network, to acquire the application data from the another information processing device via a cable, wherein a first end of the cable is directly coupled to a wired communication module of the information processing device, and wherein a second end of the cable is directly coupled to a wired communication module of the another information processing device for direct transfer of the application data over the cable. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising: a screen generating section configured to generate a screen regarding operations to acquire the application data. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein, after the device detecting section has detected the another information processing device connected to the local wireless local area network, the screen generating section generates a guidance screen on a display of the information processing giving an instruction to a user of the information processing device to operate a power button of the another information processing device to transition the another information processing device to a standby mode to ensure the another information processing device is accessible to the user. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein, after the device detecting section has detected the another information processing device connected to the local wireless local area network, the screen generating section generates a guidance screen on a display of the information processing device giving an instruction to connect the first end of the cable to the wired communication module of the information processing device and the second end of the cable to the wired communication module of the another information processing device using the cable. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein the screen generating section generates a screen for selecting an application to be acquired from the another information processing device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein the information processing device is configured to communicate via the access point with a management server managing association information associating a user account with used device information, and after the information processing device is connected to the management server via the access point, the recording processing section acquires from the management server the association information associating the user account with information identifying the information processing device and records the acquired association information. ### Claim 7 A data acquisition method whereby an information processing device connected to a local wireless local area network constituted by an access point acquires application data from another information processing device connected to the local wireless local area network, the data acquisition method comprising: after detecting the another information processing device connected to the local wireless local area network via the access point, acquiring the application data from the another information processing device via a cable, wherein a first end of the cable is directly coupled to a wired communication module of the information processing device, and wherein a second end of the cable is directly coupled to a wired communication module of the another information processing device for direct transfer of the application data over the cable. ### Claim 8 A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having stored thereon a program for computer connected to a local wireless local area network constituted by an access point, the program comprising: by a device detecting section, detecting an information processing device connected to the local wireless local area network via the access point; and by a recording processing section, after detecting the information processing device connected to the wireless local area network, acquiring application data from the information processing device via a cable, wherein a first end of the cable is directly coupled to a wired communication module of the information processing device, and wherein a second end of the cable is directly coupled to a wired communication module of the another information processing device for direct transfer of the application data over the cable. ### Claim 9 (depends on 4) The information processing device according to claim 4, wherein the another information processing device does not have a display.
