Abstract
An information processing apparatus to which an external storage medium is connectable includes a setting information storage unit that stores setting information, an attachment/detachment detection unit that detects attachment to and detachment from the information processing apparatus of the external storage medium, a notification unit that provides notification of detachment of the external storage medium from the information processing apparatus, and an invalidation unit that invalidates the setting information based on the notification of the detachment of the external storage medium from the information processing apparatus.
Claims11
An information processing apparatus to which an external storage medium is connectable, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a setting information storage unit configured to store setting information;
- an attachment/detachment detection unit configured to detect attachment to and detachment from the information processing apparatus of the external storage medium;
- a notification unit configured to provide notification of detachment of the external storage medium from the information processing apparatus;
- and
- an invalidation unit configured to invalidate the setting information based on the notification of the detachment of the external storage medium from the information processing apparatus.
A method for controlling an information processing apparatus to which an external storage medium is connectable, the method comprising:
- storing setting information;
- detecting attachment to and detachment from the information processing apparatus of the external storage medium;
- providing notification of detachment of the external storage medium from the information processing apparatus;
- and
- invalidating the setting information based on the notification.
A non-transitory storage medium storing a program causing an information processing apparatus, to which an external storage medium is connectable, to execute a method, the control method comprising:
- storing setting information;
- detecting attachment to and detachment from the information processing apparatus of the external storage medium;
- providing a notification if detachment of the external storage medium from the information processing apparatus;
- and
- invalidating the setting information based on the notification.
