Claim Text:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a data sharing program configured to cause a processor of a first terminal to execute a process comprising: detecting a communication bandwidth used between the first terminal and a second terminal that are communicably connected in an ad-hoc network; comparing the detected communication bandwidth and a bandwidth related to a storage apparatus of the first terminal; determining an operation scheme for sharing of data in the storage apparatus of the first terminal and data in a storage apparatus of the second terminal, based on a comparison result obtained at the comparing; notifying the second terminal of the determined operation scheme; and executing a mounting process that enables access of the storage apparatus of the first terminal by the second terminal, based on the determined operation scheme, wherein: the comparing includes comparing the communication bandwidth and a bandwidth related to a main storage apparatus of the first terminal, the determining includes determining the operation scheme related to the sharing of data to be a tight coupling scheme configured to enable the first terminal to access allocated data downloaded by the second terminal using the ad-hoc communication, by converting a logical address that designates the allocated data of the second terminal from the first terminal into a logical address that designates the allocated data on a main storage apparatus of the second terminal, when the communication bandwidth is equal to or greater than the bandwidth related to the main storage apparatus, and the executing includes executing a mounting process configured to enable access of the main storage apparatus of the first terminal by the second terminal, when the operation scheme is determined to be the tight coupling scheme.
