Abstract
A cellular phone (portable terminal) and a DVD recorder (data processing apparatus) have a BT communication function. The DVD recorder is linked to the cellular phone by radio communication within a given range to acquire identification information proper to the cellular phone. The DVD recorder sets a data-store destination corresponding to the cellular phone, based on the identification information and holds data transferred from the cellular phone in the data-store destination. Data of the cellular phone with a small memory capacity can be transferred without any troublesome linking operation, and the transferred data can be stored and managed in correspondence with the cellular phone.
Claims11
A data processing apparatus comprising:
- a link unit which links to a portable terminal by radio communication within a given range;
- an identification information acquisition unit which acquires identification information proper to the portable terminal linked by the link unit;
- a data-store destination setting unit which sets a data-store destination corresponding to the portable terminal, based on the identification information acquired by the identification information acquisition unit;
- and
- a holding unit which holds data transferred from the portable terminal in the data-store destination set by the data-store destination setting unit.
A data processing apparatus comprising:
- a link unit which links to a portable terminal by radio communication within a given range;
- an identification information acquisition unit which acquires identification information proper to the portable terminal linked by the link unit;
- a data-store destination setting unit which sets a data-store destination corresponding to the portable terminal, based on the identification information acquired by the identification information acquisition unit;
- a holding unit which holds data transferred from the portable terminal in the data-store destination set by the data-store destination setting unit;
- an operation sensing unit which senses a specific operation of the portable terminal;
- and
- a processing unit which performs a process related to the specific operation using the data held by the holding unit when the operation sensing unit senses the specific operation of the portable terminal.
A method of processing data in a data processing apparatus having a radio communication function, comprising:
- linking the data processing apparatus to a portable terminal by radio communication within a given range;
- acquiring identification information proper to the portable terminal;
- setting a data-store destination corresponding to the portable terminal, based on the identification information;
- and
- holding data transferred from the portable terminal in the set data-store destination.
