| 20090015418 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE, MANAGEMENT METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM WHICH STORES MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - There is provided an electronic device having a detachable part and a main unit with a communicating section. In order to prevent the electronic device from being left, the electronic device including a sensor detecting a detached state of the part; a first timer measuring time for which the part has been in a detached state from the main unit since the sensor has detected the detached state of the part; and a warning section issues a warning, the warning section issues the warning if the first timer detects the passage of a first time period. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090024771 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, MANAGING METHOD, COMPUTER-READABLE RECODING MEDIUM STORING MANAGING PROGRAM THEREIN, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - The information processing apparatus includes: a connection unit which an electronic apparatus is adapted to be communicably coupled to; a connection detecting unit which detects coupling of the electronic apparatus to the connection unit; a timer which measures a time duration that elapses under a connection state, in which the electronic apparatus is engaged; and an alerting unit which alerts a user of the information processing apparatus when it is detected by the timer that a predetermined time duration elapses. With this arrangement, it is possible to prevent forgetting to disengage the electronic apparatus from the information processing apparatus, and the convenience of handling of the electronic apparatuses is improved. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090025091 | ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - The electronic apparatus includes: a timer for measuring an elapse time duration under a component-disengaged state after detection of the disengaged state by the sensor; a copy controlling unit for making data stored in the recording unit to be copied in a storage unit of the information processing apparatus; and a deleting unit for deleting data stored in the recording unit. The copy controlling unit makes data stored in the recording unit to be stored in the storage unit of the information processing apparatus when the timer detects elapse of a first predetermined time duration, and the deleting unit deletes data stored in the recording unit when data stored in the recording unit is copied in the storage unit. This makes it possible to prevent loss of data stored in the recording unit of the electronic apparatus, and to improve data confidentiality, and to prevent confidential information leakage. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090225989 | KEY INFORMATION ISSUING DEVICE, WIRELESS OPERATION DEVICE, AND PROGRAM - A key information issuing device issuing key information to a key information retaining device includes an authentication module authenticating an issuer of the key information, an output module outputting the key information to the key information retaining unit, and a recording module recording a mapping of the issued key information to the key information retaining unit. The key information is issued in response to an indication of the authenticated issuer. | 09-10-2009 |
| 20090240961 | INFORMATION PROCESSOR, COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM WHICH RECORDS DATA EVACUATION PROGRAM, AND DATA EVACUATION METHOD - An information processor includes a set information storage unit storing evacuation residual quantity information representing an evacuation residual quantity as a residual quantity of the battery that corresponds to electric power necessary for executing a data evacuation process for storing data, stored in a memory of the information processor, onto a nonvolatile recording medium, a battery residual quantity detecting unit detecting the battery residual quantity of the battery, a load information collecting unit acquiring load information representing an electric load of the information processor, an evacuation residual quantity setting unit setting the evacuation residual quantity based on the load information collected by the load information collecting unit, and controls the set information storage unit to store the evacuation residual quantity information representing the set evacuation residual quantity, and an evacuation control unit controlling execution of the data evacuation process. | 09-24-2009 |
