Device, apparatus, and method of executing program from executing device, and recording medium storing executing control program

An information processing device, comprising:

• first storing means for storing therein a program;
• reading means for firstly accessing the first storing means to read the program from the first storing means when a power of the information processing device is turned on;
• controlling means for executing the program read by the reading means;
• connecting means for electrically connecting the information processing device with second storing means, and outputting a detect signal indicating connection of the second storing means when the second storing means is connected, the second storing means storing therein a program;
• access restricting means for causing the first storing means to be inaccessible from the reading means when the detect signal indicating connection of the second storing means being output from the connecting means is detected when the power of the information processing device is turned on,
• wherein, when the first storing means is inaccessible from the reading means, the reading means accesses the second storing means to read the program from the second storing means for execution by the controlling means.

A method of executing an information processing device including a processor and a first executing device that stores therein a program, the method comprising:

• outputting a select signal indicating selection of the first executing device, which causes the processor to firstly access the first executing device to read the program from the first executing device when a power of the information processing device is turned on;
• determining whether a second executing device is electrically connected with the information processing device, the second executing device storing therein a program;
• outputting a detect signal indicating connection of the second executing device when the second executing device is connected;
• preventing the first executing device from receiving the select signal to cause the first executing device to be inaccessible from the processor, when the outputting outputs the detect signal indicating connection of the second executing device;
• and
• causing the processor to access the second executing device to read the program from the second executing device for execution by the processor.
