Patent Claims
8 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. An information processing device operable to perform a plurality of functions, comprising: a setting part configured to set a first attribute of a file and a second attribute of a folder, wherein the first and second attributes are information to specify one of the plurality of functions of the information processing device; and a controller configured, when the first attribute does not match the second attribute when comparing the first attribute with the second attribute, to restrict storage of the file into the folder.

2

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured, when the first attribute matches the second attribute, to store the file into the folder, and the controller is configured, when the second attribute of the folder is changed to a third attribute by the setting part, to compare the first attribute of the file having already been stored in the folder with the third attribute of the folder, and to move the file from inside to outside of the folder when the first attribute does not match the third attribute.

3

3. The information processing device according to claim 2 , further comprising an input part having a plurality of keys, wherein the file is a macro file to achieve a sequence operation of two or more keys by one key operation.

4

4. The information processing device according to claim 3 , further comprising an image processing part configured to perform image processing, wherein the image processing part performs image processing based on the macro file.

5

5. The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising an input part having a plurality of keys, wherein the file is a macro file to achieve a sequence operation of two or more keys by one key operation.

6

6. The information processing device according to claim 5 , further comprising an image processing part configured to perform image processing, wherein the image processing part performs image processing based on the macro file.

7

7. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of functions include at least one of a copy function, a facsimile function, and a scan function.

8

8. The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising a display, wherein the controller is configured, when the first attribute does not match the second attribute, to display, in the display, a warning message indicating that storage of the file into the folder is restricted.
