Abstract

A method of controlling an information processing device includes selectively switching a first processor for executing a first operating system or a second processor for executing a second operating system to a user interface; storing a data table in which a first application program operating on the first operating system is associated with a second application program operating on the second operating system; sending information pertinent to activation of the first or second application program to a server device; receiving a result of a process from the server device, the process being performed by the server device for associating application programs based on the received information; updating the data table based on the received result; and activating the second application program, which is associated with the first application program being activated in the data table, in a state where the first processor has been switched to the user interface.
