Abstract

When a link unit detects a built-in WLAN memory card by using wireless communication, the link unit determines whether there is a match between the SSID of the detected built-in WLAN memory card and the SSID of the built-in WLAN memory card that is inserted into the PC. If the SSIDs match, it means the built-in WLAN memory card that has been detected using wireless communication is the built-in WLAN memory card that is inserted into the PC and the link unit consequently performs a control such that the WLAN unit does not acquire still images nor moving images.

Claims

1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored therein a link program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

first determining, when a storage device having a built-in wireless communication function has been detected by using wireless communication, whether registration of automatic acquisition of data stored in the storage device has been performed;

second determining, when the first determining determines that the registration has been performed, whether the storage device having the built-in wireless communication function booted up due to the computer starting to supply power has been detected; and

controlling, when it is determined at the second determining that the storage device, in which the built-in wireless communication function is booted up due to the computer starting to supply power, has been detected, such that data in the storage device is not acquired using wireless communication.

2. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 1, wherein the second determining includes determining by comparing an identifier related to the wireless communication for the storage device that has been detected by using the wireless communication with an identifier related to the wireless communication for the storage device, in which the wireless communication function is booted up due to the computer starting to supply power.

3. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 1, further comprising:

third determining, when the computer starts to supply power to the storage device having a built-in wireless communication function, whether an application that acquires data stored in the storage device is booted up; and

acquiring the data by using a wired connection when the application is not booted up.

4. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 1, further comprising:

registering, when the first determining determines that the registration has not been performed, the automatic acquisition of the data stored in the storage device by using wireless communication.

5. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor executes a process comprising;

first determining, when a storage device having a built-in wireless communication function has been detected by using wireless communication, whether registration of automatic acquisition of data stored in the storage device has been performed;

second determining, when the first determining determines that the registration has been performed, whether the storage device having the built-in wireless communication function booted up due to the computer starting to supply power has been detected; and

controlling, when it is determined at the second determining that the storage device, in which the built-in wireless communication function is booted up due to the computer starting to supply power, has been detected, such that data in the storage device is not acquired using wireless communication.
