Automatic device control apparatus for automatically control device and application of information processing apparatus such as computer

An information processing apparatus comprising an automatic device control apparatus configured to display display data on a display terminal apparatus connected to an information processing apparatus,

• wherein the automatic device control apparatus comprising:
• a device detecting section configured to detect a corresponding device by detecting one of such an event that an external storage device that stores the display data is connected to the information processing apparatus and such an event that application software to display the display data is activated;
• a device information acquiring section configured to acquire information of a detected device based on a detection result of the device detected by the device detecting section;
• a communication device setting section configured to extract a communication device communicable with the display terminal apparatus, and generate and setting information of the communication device;
• a schedule managing section configured to execute an activation judgment process for judging whether or not the detected device and the communication device are activated based on the information of the detected device and the information of the communication device, and form a predetermined execution processing schedule from the information of the activated detected device and the communication device when it is judged that the detected device and the communication device are activated;
• a display terminal retrieving section configured to automatically retrieve the display terminal apparatus to which the display data is transmitted according to the execution processing schedule;
• and
• a display terminal connecting section configured to perform connecting with the retrieved display terminal apparatus, and transmit the display data to the display terminal apparatus.

An automatic device control method executed by an automatic device control apparatus configured to display display data on a display terminal apparatus connected to an information processing apparatus, the automatic device control method comprising:

• detecting a corresponding device by detecting one of such an event that an external storage device that stores the display data is connected to the information processing apparatus and such an event that application software to display the display data is activated;
• acquiring information of the detected device based on a detection result of the detected device;
• extracting a communication device communicable with the display terminal apparatus, and generating and setting information of the communication device;
• executing an activation judgment process for judging whether or not the detected device and the communication device are activated based on the information of the detected device and the information of the communication device, and form a predetermined execution processing schedule from the information of the activated detected device and the communication device when it is judged that the detected device and the communication device are activated;
• automatically retrieving the display terminal apparatus to which the display data is transmitted according to the execution processing schedule;
• and
• performing connecting with the retrieved display terminal apparatus, and transmitting the display data to the display terminal apparatus.
