  • Patent number: 11190651
    Abstract: There is provided a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for an information processing device provided with a first communication interface, a second communication interface and a controller. The recording medium contains instructions realizing an application program. When startup option including the address information is not delivered and when the address information is not stored, the control executes a standby process to await input of the address information through a user interface is executed. When the address information indicating a location of a storage server is input during the standby process, the controller downloads the content data from the storage server indicated by the input address information. When the address information included in the startup option has been stored in the memory, the controller downloads the content data from the storage server indicated by the address information store in the memory.
