Stored information processing device for external storages, and stored information processing method

A stored information processing device for external storages, comprising:

• a plurality of connecting portions for connecting a plurality of external storages in a detachable manner;
• a stored information reading portion capable of reading stored information of the external storage connected to the connecting portion;
• an internal storage portion having an exclusive storage area for storing the stored information of the external storage read by the reading portion;
• a detection portion for detecting a connection of the external storage with respect to any one of the connecting portions;
• a discrimination portion for discriminating whether, when a connection of a first external storage with respect to any one of the connecting portions is detected by the detection portion, a second external storage is connected to the other connecting portion;
• and
• a transfer portion for transferring the stored information of the first external storage to an exclusive area of the internal storage portion to store the stored information therein when it is discriminated that the second external storage is already connected.

A stored information processing method for external storages, the method, comprising:

• a detecting step of detecting a connection and/or disconnection of a first external storage with respect to any one of connecting portions of a stored information processing device having a plurality of connecting portions;
• a discrimination step of discriminating whether, when the connection and/or disconnection of the first external storage is detected by the detection step, a second external storage is connected to another connecting portion;
• a display control step of determining whether the stored information of the first and/or second external storage is displayed on a display portion depending on the discrimination result;
• and
• a display step of displaying the stored information of the first and/or second external storage determined to be displayed at the display control step on a display portion.

A stored information processing method for external storages, the method, comprising:

• a detection step of detecting a connection of a first external storage to any one of connecting portions of a stored information processing device having a plurality of connecting portions;
• a discrimination step of discriminating whether a second external storage is already connected to another connecting portion when a connection of the first external storage is detected by the detection step;
• and
• a transfer step of transferring the stored information of the first external storage to an exclusive storage area of an internal storage portion to save the stored information therein when it is discriminated by the discrimination step that the second external storage is already connected.
