ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a highly convenient removable device and a program startup method. A hub division unit31in a single composite device2allocates data exchange with the computer1side to a plurality of devices, thereby easily realizing a plurality of functions. When connected to a USB, a recognition control unit32returns a signal representing a CD-ROM in a simulated manner in response to inquiry about the type of the device from the host side. When a device is mounted, a desired processing such as a program execution described in the script is automatically performed without installing a resident program for detecting a device mounting in advance in the computer side.
