<p>A data processing apparatus and method for allowing recording media to be effectively used, thereby improving user's convenience. When an operation accepting part (101) accepts a user-entered operation that instructs to make a copy, a copy execution part (102) of a memory card reader reads data from a memory card and transmits the data to a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal copies the received data into a disc, and a status representative of a success or failure of the copy is stored into a hold part of the memory card reader. After the copy processing, a mode switch part (104) switches the power supply mode of the memory card reader to a sleep mode, and if the user enters an operation to recognize a copy result, a check execution part (103) presents, based on the status stored in the hold part, the copy result to the user. The present invention is applicable to memory card readers.</p> |
