Abstract

An information processing apparatus determines whether a medium contains specific information. If the medium is determined not to contain the specific information, the information processing apparatus displays a first window including information about the medium for a first time. If the medium is determined to contain the specific information, the information processing apparatus displays the first window for a second time longer than the first time.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor in communication with the memory, the processor configured to control;

a determination unit configured to determine whether a medium contains specific information; and

a display unit configured to, if the determination unit determines that the medium does not contain the specific information, display a window including information about the medium for a first time, and if the determination unit determines that the medium contains the specific information, display the window for a second time longer than the first time.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the specific information is a specific character in a volume name of the medium.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the specific information is a specific file in the medium.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the specific information is a specific file in the medium, an electronic signature being attached to the specific file.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to control:

a setting unit configured to set the second time according to how many of first to third conditions are satisfied, the first condition being that the medium has a specific volume name, the second condition being that the medium contains a specific file, and the third condition being that the medium contains a specific file to which an electronic signature is attached.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to control:

a second display unit configured to display a second window for accepting an operation about a file of the medium from a user, the second window being displayed when the window is designated by the user.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to control:

a second determination unit configured to determine time elapsed since the window was displayed,

wherein the second display unit is configured to, if the second determination unit determines that a certain period of time has not elapsed since the window was displayed, display the second window including an option to execute an automatic execution program, and if the second determination unit determines that the certain period of time has elapsed since the window was displayed, display the second window not including the option to execute the automatic execution program.

8. A non-transitory recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as:

a determination unit configured to determine whether a medium contains specific information; and

a display unit configured to, if the determination unit determines that the medium does not contain the specific information, display a window including information about the medium for a first time, and if the determination unit determines that the medium contains the specific information, display the window for a second time longer than the first time.

9. The recording medium according to claim 8, wherein the specific information is a specific character in a volume name of the medium.

10. The recording medium according to claim 8, wherein the specific information is a specific file in the medium.

11. The recording medium according to claim 8, wherein the specific information is a specific file in the medium, an electronic signature being attached to the specific file.

12. The recording medium according to claim 8, wherein the computer is caused to further function as a setting unit configured to set the second time according to how many of first to third conditions are satisfied, the first condition being that the medium has a specific volume name, the second condition being that the medium contains a specific file, and the third condition being that the medium contains a specific file to which an electronic signature is attached.

13. The recording medium according to claim 8, wherein the computer is caused to further function as a second display unit configured to display a second window for accepting an operation about a file of the medium from a user, the second window being displayed when the window is designated by the user.

14. The recording medium according to claim 13, wherein the computer is caused to further function as a second determination unit configured to determine time elapsed since the window was displayed, and

wherein the second determination unit is configured to, if the second determination unit determines that a certain period of time has not elapsed since the window was displayed, display the second window including an option to execute an automatic execution recording medium, and if the second determination unit determines that the certain period of time has elapsed since the window was displayed, display the second window not including the option to execute the automatic execution recording medium.

15. A control method comprising:

determining whether a medium contains specific information; and

if the medium is determined not to contain the specific information, displaying a window including information about the medium for a first time, and if the medium is determined to contain the specific information, displaying the window for a second time longer than the first time.

16. The control method according to claim 15, wherein the specific information is a specific character in a volume name of the medium.

17. The control method according to claim 15, wherein the specific information is a specific file in the medium.

18. The control method according to claim 15, wherein the specific information is a specific file in the medium, an electronic signature being attached to the specific file.

19. The control method according to claim 15, further comprising setting the second time according to how many of first to third conditions are satisfied, the first condition being that the medium has a specific volume name, the second condition being that the medium contains a specific file, and the third condition being that the medium contains a specific file to which an electronic signature is attached.

20. The control method according to claim 15, further comprising displaying a second window for accepting an operation about a file of the medium from a user, the second window being displayed if the window is designated by the user.
