US 2011/0085206 A1 · DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS, DATA INPUT CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND PROGRAM FOR IMPLEMENTING THE METHOD

Abstract

A data processing apparatus capable of transmitting externally received data to a corresponding information processing device even in a case where a plurality of information processing devices are mountable to the data processing apparatus. First device identification information for identifying an information processing device connected to the data processing apparatus is obtained from the information processing device, and first data is received from an external apparatus. When the first device identification information and second device identification information added to the first data match each other, the first data is transmitted to the information processing device connected to the data processing apparatus.
