摘要

The present invention relates to file transfers between apparatuses. The present invention makes is possible to easily recognize that apparatuses are based on the same system, facilitates a file transfer operation, and avoids complicating the system. Monitoring resident software 61 resident in a PC 30 detects a folder structure 41 in a digital camera main body 11 . The moving resident software 61 then executes file analysis to determine whether or not the detected folder structure 41 contains a file 45 for identifying the present information transmission system 1 . On the basis of the results of the analysis, the monitoring resident software 61 activates copy application software 62 in the PC 30 in order to copy an image file 46 present in the digital still camera 11.
