Terminal device and data passing method

摘要

A terminal device passes data between programs. The terminal device includes a data passing unit configured to receive the data from a first program and pass the received data to a second program selected from among one or more second programs associated with a type of the received data; the first program configured to convert the type of the data, which is a passing target, from an original type into a unique type, and then pass the data to the data passing unit; and the second program configured to convert the type of the data received from the data passing unit into the original type from the unique type, the second program being associated with the unique type.

1. A terminal device, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
execute a first application capable of passing data to another application;execute a plurality of second applications;store an extension of data that is associated with each of the plurality of second applications;control a display to display a list of applications capable of processing the data associated with the extension, from among the plurality of second applications, in response to a request from a user to pass the data to the other application; andreceive the data from the first application and pass the data to a second application selected from the list of the applications displayed by the display, wherein the first application converts the extension of the data, which is stored in a first storage area assigned to the first application, from an original extension into an intermediate extension that is different from a general extension, and the selected second application stores the data in a second storage area assigned to the selected second application, and converts the extension of the stored data into the original extension from the intermediate extension, the selected second application associated with the intermediate extension.
