- FIG. 25 is a diagram showing an example of a computer that executes a data processing program.
- the computer 1000 has, for example, a memory 1010, a CPU 1020, a hard disk drive interface 1030, a disk drive interface 1040, a serial port interface 1050, a video adapter 1060, and a network interface 1070. Each of these parts is connected by a bus 1080.
- the memory 1010 includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) 1011 and a RAM 1012.
- the ROM 1011 stores, for example, a boot program such as a BIOS (Basic Input Output System).
- BIOS Basic Input Output System
- the hard disk drive interface 1030 is connected to the hard disk drive 1031.
- the disk drive interface 1040 is connected to the disk drive 1041.
- a removable storage medium such as a magnetic disk or an optical disk is inserted into the disk drive 1041.
- a mouse 1051 and a keyboard 1052 are connected to the serial port interface 1050.
- a display 1061 is connected to the video adapter 1060, for example.
- the hard disk drive 1031 stores, for example, the OS 1091, the application program 1092, the program module 1093, and the program data 1094. Each piece of information described in the above embodiment is stored in, for example, the hard disk drive 1031 or the memory 1010.
- the data processing program is stored in the hard disk drive 1031 as, for example, a program module 1093 in which a command executed by the computer 1000 is described.
- the program module 1093 in which each process executed by the data processing apparatus 100 (200, 300, 400) described in the above embodiment is described is stored in the hard disk drive 1031.
- the data used for information processing by the data processing program is stored as program data 1094 in, for example, the hard disk drive 1031.
- the CPU 1020 reads the program module 1093 and the program data 1094 stored in the hard disk drive 1031 into the RAM 1012 as needed, and executes each of the above-mentioned procedures.
- the program module 1093 and the program data 1094 related to the data processing program are not limited to the case where they are stored in the hard disk drive 1031. For example, they are stored in a removable storage medium and read by the CPU 1020 via the disk drive 1041 or the like. It may be issued. Alternatively, the program module 1093 and the program data 1094 related to the data processing program are stored in another computer connected via a network such as a LAN or WAN (Wide Area Network), and read by the CPU 1020 via the network interface 1070. May be done.
