Abstract
A data processing device enabling stable data processing reads digital data including object data, an identifier indicating a type of the object data, and an attached program associated with at least one identifier for performing a predetermined process for object data associated with the identifier, to process the object data. The data processing device includes a program storing unit for recording an internal program including a processing module associated with the at least one identifier, an input unit for reading the digital data, and an external program executing unit for processing the object data by one of the attached program and the processing module when the attached program associated with the identifier of the read object data is present in the digital data.
