  • Publication number: 20150227605
    Abstract: An information processing terminal includes a processor configured to execute a process. The process includes sharing, first storing, second storing, acquiring, and synchronizing. The sharing includes sharing a storage device with other information processing terminals in an information processing system that synchronizes data among the storage device and all of the information processing terminals. The first storing includes storing data and update information indicating whether the data is updated after synchronization. The second storing includes storing a latest date and time at which the data stored and data stored in the storage device are synchronized. The acquiring includes acquiring a latest date and time at which the storage device is synchronized with any of the information processing terminals when synchronizing data. The synchronizing includes synchronizing, when the latest date and time acquired and the latest date and time stored match each other, with the storage device, the data.

  • Publication number: 20130304989
    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.
