APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CARRYING OUT DATA LINKAGE AMONG A PLURALITY OF APPLICATIONS
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus capable of carrying out data linkage among a plurality of activated applications, the apparatus comprising:
- designating device for designating data desired to be stored on an activated application which is currently in execution;
judging circuit for judging a type of the data designated by the designating device;
storage circuit for storing a plurality of pieces of data by type of data on the basis of a result of the judgment by the judging circuit;
selecting device for selecting a desired data from among the plurality of pieces of data stored in the storage circuit; and
reading circuit for reading the data selected by the selecting device on another activated application desired to be linked.

Abstract
The present invention is intended to arrange data, thereby improving usability and operability. When data desired to be stored is designated on an application being processed, a data capture control portion captures the data, and a data type judgment portion judges the type of the captured data. In accordance with the result of the judgment, the data is stored on an image clipboard or a text clipboard depending on the type of the data. Desired data is selected from among the stored data. A data paste control portion pastes the selected data on another activated application desired to be linked.
