Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a communication unit that transmits/receives data to and from an external device; a detection unit that detects communication connection with the external device by the communication unit; an operation input unit that accepts an operation input; a command allocation unit that, only when the detection unit detects communication connection with the external device, allocates a data transmission command with respect to a one-click operation to a symbol corresponding to a data storage place of the apparatus to be displayed on a display unit, which is accepted by the operation input unit, wherein, when communication connection with the external device is not detected by the detection unit, a data transmission command with respect to the one-click operation is not allocated by the command allocation unit to the symbol corresponding to the data storage place of the apparatus to be displayed on the display unit; and a control unit that, when the operation input unit accepts the one-click operation to the symbol, in case the data transmission command is allocated with respect to the one-click operation, controls so that the communication unit transmits data stored in the data storage place corresponding to the symbol to the external device.
