<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a user to be appropriately informed when the user fails to remove an external memory medium. <P>SOLUTION: A data processing apparatus has a detection processor 10c to detect whether or not a USB (universal series bus) memory U is being connected upon a user logout process, a process controller 10e to set a predetermined process in an unapplicable locked state when it is determined that the USB memory U is still connected by the detection processor 10c, and an information processor 10d to send the user a request mail for removing the USB memory U and to receive a response mail to the request. The process controller 10e further receives the response mail, and at the same time maintains the locked state until it is determined that the USB memory U is removed from a USB I/F portion 19. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
