Abstract:
1. A data-processing device capable of receiving data transmitted from one or more other data-processing devices via a network, the data-processing device comprising: a central processing unit configured to control: an acquisition unit which acquires state information about a state of the one or more other data-processing devices via the network; a memory unit which memorizes link information about a link between a data item corresponding to data recorded in the data-processing device and a data item corresponding to data recorded in the one or more other data-processing devices; a determination unit which determines, based on the acquired state information, the one or more data-processing devices which are connected via the network; and a display unit which displays a link state based on the link information between the data item corresponding to the data recorded in the data-processing device and a first data item corresponding to first data recorded in a first data-processing device and does not display a link state based on the link information between the data item corresponding to the data recorded in the data-processing device and a second data item corresponding to second data recorded in a second data-processing device in a case where the determination unit determines that the first data-processing device is connected via the network and the second data-processing device is not connected via the network.
