Abstract
An information processing device capable of performing external communication through a communication device for performing communication includes a subsystem arranged between the communication device and a main unit of the information processing device including a central processing unit and an operating system. The subsystem temporarily stores communication data between the communication device and the central processing unit when the central processing unit is in a power source turned-off state or a suspended state, and the subsystem transfers the communication data between the communication device and the central processing unit when the central processing unit is in a power source turned-on state. Accordingly, external communication is enabled without altering the connection manager of the OS even when the subsystem is placed between the communication device and the OS.
