Abstract
CCP data as common data, which can be utilized by a plurality of users or applications, are stored in a CCP buffer in units of data types (format IDs). More specifically, the CCP buffer stores one CCP data per format ID. Upon reception of a request for CCP data from an application, the system analyzes this request to acquire the format ID of the CCP data requested by the application. The system searches CCP data having a format ID coinciding with the requested format ID from data management information of CCP data. The system passes the searched CCP data to the application, and ends processing. In this manner, CCP data can be stored in correspondence with a plurality of data types, and required CCP data can be easily selected by using its format ID. Therefore, operability with respect to common data can be improved, and work efficiency of users can be improved.
