US 2026/0300044 A1 · INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, ONE OR MORE NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIA, AND COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD

Abstract

A computer is caused to perform operations including: designating, by an application program, first identification information indicating whether the application program uses a first communication method or a second communication method, via a first API for a system program; requesting, by the application program, execution of a specified communication process via a second API, using a command common to the first communication method and the second communication method; acquiring, by the system program, the first identification information in response to the designation via the first API; and executing, by the system program, the specified communication process by performing a process that differs depending on whether the first communication method is used or the second communication method is used, based on the acquired first identification information, in response to the request via the second API.

Dependent claims

An information processing system capable of executing an application program and a system program, the information processing system comprising

one or more processors, and
one or more memories storing instructions that cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
designating, by the application program, first identification information indicating whether the application program uses a first communication method or a second communication method, via a first API for the system program;
requesting, by the application program, execution of a specified communication process via a second API, using a command common to the first communication method and the second communication method;
acquiring, by the system program, the first identification information in response to the designation via the first API;
and
executing, by the system program, the specified communication process by performing a process that differs depending on whether the first communication method is used or the second communication method is used, based on the acquired first identification information, in response to the request via the second API.

4 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having stored therein a system program that, when executed, causes one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

acquiring first identification information indicating whether an application program uses a first communication method or a second communication method, from the application program via a first API;
and
executing a specified communication process by performing a process that differs depending on whether the first communication method is used or the second communication method is used, based on the acquired first identification information, in response to a second request via a second API from the application program.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having stored therein an application program that, when executed, causes one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

designating first identification information indicating whether a first communication method or a second communication method is used, via a first API;
and
requesting execution of a specified communication process via a second API, using a command common to the first communication method and the second communication method.
