ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a wireless communication device, an information acquisition module, a file management information generation module, and an access control module. The information acquisition module acquires, by wireless communication with an external device, metadata corresponding to content data which the external device can provide. The file management information generation module generates, based on the acquired metadata, file management information based on which a host apparatus recognizes the content data as a file stored in a storage medium in the electronic apparatus. The access control module is configured to, upon receiving a read request for a file corresponding to the content data, which is transmitted from the host apparatus, execute external device access processing of acquiring the content data from the external device using the wireless communication device, and output the acquired content data to the host apparatus.
