Information processing device, subsystem, information processing method, and recording medium storing information processing program

A subsystem arranged between an information processing device capable of performing external communication through a communication device for performing communication and the communication device, the subsystem comprising:

• a controller configured to store communication data between the communication device and a central processing unit provided for the information processing device when the central processing units is a power source turned-off state or a suspended state, and to transfer the communication data between the communication device and the central processing unit when the central processing unit is in a power source turned-on state;
• and
• a pseudo responsive unit configured to make a pseudo response, which indicates that the external communication between the information processing device and a external carrier network outside of the information processing device has been established, to the information processing device, as a substitute for a response by the communication device and as a response to a request of an establishment of the external communication from the information processing device, when the external communication with the subsystem has been already established, wherein
• when the subsystem receives from the information processing device a request of disconnecting the established external communication between the information processing device and the external carrier network, the pseudo responsive unit makes another pseudo response, which indicates that the established external communication between the information processing device and the external carrier network has been disconnected, to the information processing device, as a substitute for a response by the communication device, still maintaining the established external communication with the subsystem, and
• the subsystem further includes:
• a communication data further unit configured to temporarily store communication data between the communication device and the information processing device;
• a communication data copy unit configured to copy and store the communication data stored in the communication data buffer unit;
• and
• a specific port data extraction unit configured to determine whether there is any communication data that corresponds to a specific port of the subsystem in the communication data stored in the communication data copy unit, and to extract the communication data that corresponds to the specific port of the subsystem from the communication data copy unit.

An information processing method causing a computer of a subsystem arranged between an information processing device capable of performing external communication through a communication device for performing communication and the communication device to execute a process, the process comprising:

• temporarily storing communication data between the communication device and the central processing unit when a central processing unit provided for the information processing device is in a power source turned-off state or a suspended state;
• transferring the communication data between the communication device and the central processing unit when the central processing unit is in a power source turned-on state;
• making a pseudo response, which indicates that the external communication between the information processing device and an external carrier network outside of the information processing device has been established, to the information processing device, as a substitute for a response by the communication device and as a response to a request of an establishment of the external communication from the information processing device, when the external communication with the subsystem has been already established;
• when the subsystem receives from the information processing device a request of disconnecting the established external communication between the information processing device and the external carrier network, making another pseudo response, which indicates that the established external communication between the information processing device and the external carrier network has been disconnected, to the information processing device, as a substitute for a response by the communication device, still maintaining the established external communication with the subsystem;
• temporarily storing communication data between the communication device and the information processing device in a communication data buffer unit included in the subsystem;
• copying the communication data stored in the communication data buffer unit;
• storing the copied communication data in a communication data copy unit included in the subsystem;
• determining whether there is any communication data that corresponds to a specific port of the subsystem in the communication data stored in the communication data copy unit;
• and
• extracting the communication data that corresponds to the specific port of the subsystem from the communication data copy unit.
