Abstract
An application process unit executes a predetermined application program and a communication process unit performs a predetermined data communication process with another communication target. A communication stop determination unit determines whether or not to stop the data communication process performed by the communication process unit, on the basis of an instruction from the application process unit. When it is determined by the communication stop determination unit to stop the data communication process, the data communication process is stopped.
Claims23
An information processing apparatus comprising at least one processor, the information processing apparatus configured to:
- execute a predetermined application program;
- perform a predetermined data communication process with another communication target for another application program;
- and
- determine whether or not to stop the data communication process for the other application program, performed in a background during execution of the predetermined application program, based on an instruction from the executing predetermined application program,
- when it is determined to stop the data communication process, the data communication process performed for the other application program, in the background during execution of the predetermined application program, is stopped.
2 more elements
An information processing apparatus comprising at least one processor, the information processing apparatus configured to:
