Information processing system, information processing method, mobile phone, server, and control method and control program thereof

A mobile phone comprising:

• a determiner that, when an output device is connected via a communication interface, determines whether the mobile phone can output data processable by said output device;
• a requester that, when said determiner determines that the mobile phone cannot output data processable by said output device, transmits a request to a server connected via a wireless communication network to supply the data in a format processable by said output device;
• a receiver that receives the data provided by said server;
• and
• a transmitter that transmits the data received by said receiver to said output device via said communication interface.

A method of controlling a mobile phone, the method comprising:

• recognizing an output device, when the output device is connected via a communication interface, and determining whether the mobile phone can output data processable by the output device;
• transmitting a request, when it is determined in the determining step that the mobile phone cannot output data processable by the output device, to a server connected via a wireless communication network to supply the data in a format processable by the output device;
• receiving the data provided by the server;
• and
• transmitting the data received in the receiving step to the output device via the communication interface.

A storage medium storing the program of a mobile phone, the program causing a computer to execute a method, comprising:

• recognizing, when an output device is connected via a communication interface, and determining whether the mobile phone can output data in a format processable by the output device;
• transmitting a request, when it is determined in the determining step that the mobile phone cannot output data processable by the output device, to a server connected via a wireless communication network to supply the data in the format processable by the output device;
• receiving the data provided by the server;
• and
• transmitting the data received in the receiving step to the output device via the communication interface.

An information processing method comprising:

• recognizing an output device, when the output device is connected to a mobile phone via a communication interface, and determining whether the mobile phone can output data in a format processable by the output device, by said mobile phone;
• transmitting a request, when it is determined in the determining step that the mobile phone cannot output data processable by the output device, to a server connected via a wireless communication network to supply the data in the format processable by the output device, by said mobile phone;
• transmitting the data in the format processable by the output device to the mobile phone in response to the request, by said server;
• receiving the data provided by the server, by said mobile phone;
• and
• transmitting the data received in the receiving step to the output device via the communication interface, by said mobile phone.
