<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control apparatus, a method for controlling a compound machine and a program making the compound machine available when using the compound machine having a plurality of devices, even if the program is not optimized to the compound machine. <P>SOLUTION: A host computer 100 controls a compound machine 1. The host computer 100 executes, using an application program execution unit 121, each of a plurality of application programs corresponding to at least one of a plurality of devices, and using a port control process 140, receives data through a USB port 109 from the compound machine 1. Meanwhile, the host computer 100 executes exclusive control of data outputted from the application program execution unit 121 to transmit the data from the USB port 109 to the compound machine 1, and using the port control process 140, filters the data received from the compound machine 1 to transmit the filtered data to the application program execution unit 121. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
