Abstract
A CPU 11, in the condition where the limited mode is not set, outputs the data arbitrarily selected by a user operation from a display unit 18 and a sound speaker 23, and in the condition where the limited mode is set, predetermined data is output instead of data specified by the user. As a result, in the case in which data is output according to the operation of a function included in an electronic device, even if no limitation is imposed to that function, the output of data or information, which the third party should not know about, can be prevented merely by setting the limited mode, in which limitations are imposed on the operation.
Claims8
An electronic device, comprising:
- an output unit that outputs data;
- a data memory unit that stores data specified by a user operation;
- a mode setting unit that sets a limited mode for limiting an operation;
- a detecting unit that detects an occurrence of an event;
- a determining unit that determines whether the limited mode is set by the mode setting unit in the case in which the detecting unit detects the occurrence of the event;
- a first output control unit that reads out data stored in the data memory unit and makes the output unit output the data according to the event detected by the detecting unit in the case in which the determining unit determines that the limited mode is not set;
- and
- a second output control unit that makes the output unit output predetermined data, instead of data stored in the data memory unit, according to the event detected by the detecting unit in the case in which the determining unit determines that the limited mode is set.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program executed by a computer that causes an electronic device to output data, the computer program comprising:
- program code for performing a function for outputting the data;
- program code for performing a function for storing data specified by a user operation;
- program code for performing a function for setting a limited mode in which limitations are imposed on an operation;
- program code for performing a function for detecting an occurrence of an event;
- program code for performing a function for determining whether the limited mode is set or not in the case in which the occurrence of the event is detected;
- program code for performing a function for reading out the data stored and outputting the data stored, according to the event detected in the case in which it is determined that the limited mode is not set;
- and
- program code for performing a function for outputting predetermined data outputted, instead of the data stored, according to the event in the case in which it is determined that the limited mode is set.
