Abstract
A method of controlling login requirements of a plurality of peripheral device applications includes defining one of the peripheral device applications as a master application, with all other peripheral device applications being slave applications, enabling the master application to obtain login information from an operator, and enabling at least one of the slave applications to seek login information from the master application and, if the login information is not available for the slave application, enabling the slave application to obtain login information under the control of the master application by executing a slave login process.
