The information processing apparatus includes: a connection unit which an electronic apparatus is adapted to be communicably coupled to; a connection detecting unit which detects coupling of the electronic apparatus to the connection unit; a timer which measures a time duration that elapses under a connection state, in which the electronic apparatus is engaged; and an alerting unit which alerts a user of the information processing apparatus when it is detected by the timer that a predetermined time duration elapses. With this arrangement, it is possible to prevent forgetting to disengage the electronic apparatus from the information processing apparatus, and the convenience of handling of the electronic apparatuses is improved.

Information processing apparatus, managing method, computer-readable recording medium storing managing program therein, and portable data storage apparatus

The electronic apparatus includes: a timer for measuring an elapse time duration under a component-disengaged state after detection of the disengaged state by the sensor; a copy controlling unit for making data stored in the recording unit to be copied in a storage unit of the information processing apparatus; and a deleting unit for deleting data stored in the recording unit. The copy controlling unit makes data stored in the recording unit to be stored in the storage unit of the information processing apparatus when the timer detects elapse of a first predetermined time duration, and the deleting unit deletes data stored in the recording unit when data stored in the recording unit is copied in the storage unit. This makes it possible to prevent loss of data stored in the recording unit of the electronic apparatus, and to improve data confidentiality, and to prevent confidential information leakage.
