Abstract

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for recording a program allowing a computer to execute: determining whether first identification information of the computer matches with second identification information stored in the computer-readable medium connected to the computer; executing a process stored in the computer-readable medium upon the determining that the first identification information and the second identification information do not match; selecting a communication unit from one or a plurality of communication units included in the computer; and transmitting third information regarding the execution of the process using the selected communication unit.

Claims

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for recording a program allowing a computer to execute:

determining whether first identification information of the computer matches with second identification information stored in the computer-readable medium connected to the computer;

executing a process stored in the computer-readable medium upon the determining that the first identification information and the second identification information do not match;

selecting a communication unit included in the computer; and

transmitting third information regarding the execution of the process using the selected communication unit.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the computer-readable medium is one of a hard disk drive and a Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory drive.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1, the program further allowing the computer to execute:

acquiring statuses of one or more communication units included in the computer, and

the selecting the communication unit is based on the statuses acquired by acquiring.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1, wherein:

the selecting selects the communication unit from the one or more communication units included in one of the computer and another different computer; and

the program further allowing the computer to execute,

storing the third information regarding the execution of the process into the computer-readable medium when the selecting selects a communication unit included in the another different computer as the selected communication unit.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 4, the program further allowing the computer to execute:

outputting a message prompting to connect the computer-readable medium to the another computer on the display unit of the computer when the selecting selects the communication component included in the another computer.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 4, the program further allowing the computer to execute:

determining whether the third information regarding the execution of the process is stored in the computer-readable medium; and

wherein the transmitting transmits the third information regarding the execution of the process using a communication unit included in the another computer when the determining determines that the information regarding the execution of the process is stored.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1, the program further allowing the computer to execute:

reading an address of a transmission destination to which the third information regarding the execution of the process is transmitted in the transmitting from a plurality of information regarding addresses to which the computer is accessible through a network, and which is stored in the computer-readable medium.

8. A data processing device comprising:

one or more communication units;

a selection unit to select a communication unit from the one or more communication units when a program stored in a storage unit that is connected to or included in the data processing device is read and executed; and

a notification unit to notify information regarding an execution of the program using the communication unit selected by the selection unit to a computer that is connected so as to be able to communicate with the data processing device.

9. The data processing device according to claim 8, wherein the storage unit is one of a hard disk drive and a Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory drive.

10. The data processing device according to claim 8 further comprising:

an acquisition unit to acquire statuses of the one or more communication units; and

the selection unit selects the communication unit based on the statuses acquired by the acquisition unit.

11. The data processing device according to claim 8,

wherein the selection unit selects the communication unit from the one or more communication units included in one of the data processing device and another different data processing device;

and

the data processing device further comprising,

a processing unit to store the information regarding the execution of the process into the storage unit when the selection unit selects a communication unit included in the another data processing device.

12. The data processing device according to claim 8 further comprising:

a display unit to output a message prompting to connect the storage unit to the another different data processing device when the selection unit selects a communication unit included in the another data processing device.
