Communication terminal, communication system, control terminal, non-transitory computer readable medium, and communication method

Abstract

A communication terminal includes an acquiring part that, when a data set including real data representing content of the data set and attribute data indicating an attribute of the real data is newly stored on a data storage device, acquires the attribute data from the data storage device without waiting for a user to instruct that the attribute data is to be acquired, and acquires the real data after the user instructs that the real data is to be acquired, and a notification controller that controls a notifying part to notify the user of the attribute indicated by the attribute data acquired by the acquiring part.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus comprising
 a memory storing one or more instructions; and   a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions to:
 control a display to display a first attribute information corresponding to a first attribute of a file and a second attribute information corresponding to a second attribute of the file, wherein the file is stored in an external server and accessible from an external apparatus; 
 receive the first attribute information and the second attribute information; 
 in a case where the first attribute information is updated by a first external apparatus, control the display to display the updated first attribute information without user instruction; and 
 in a case where content of the file stored in the external server is updated by a second external apparatus, download the updated content of the file without user instruction based on a determination that the second attribute information satisfies a condition. 
   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the processor configured to further execute the one or more instructions to:
 in a case where the content of the file in the external server is updated by the second external apparatus, download the updated content of the file only with a user instruction based on a determination that the second attribute information received from the user does not satisfy the condition.   
     
     
         3 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the first external apparatus is a different apparatus than the second external apparatus.   
     
     
         4 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the first external apparatus and the second external apparatus are the same.   
     
     
         5 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the first and second attribute comprises at least two of file name, storage location, size, creation date and time, update date and time, a title, a creator, and keyword regarding the file.   
     
     
         6 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the file is a document accessible from the external server. 
     
     
         7 . A method comprising:
 controlling a display to display a first attribute information corresponding to a first attribute of a file and a second attribute information corresponding to a second attribute of the file, wherein the file is stored in an external server and accessible from an external apparatus;   receiving the first attribute information corresponding to the first attribute and the second attribute information corresponding to the second attribute;   in a case where the first attribute information is updated in the external server by a first external apparatus, controlling the display to display the updated first attribute information without user instruction; and   in a case where the content of the file stored in the external server is updated by a second external apparatus, downloading the updated content of the file without user instruction based on a determination that the second attribute information received from the user satisfies a condition.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 in a case where the content of the file in the external server is updated by the second external apparatus, downloading the updated content of the file only with a user instruction based on a determination that the second attribute information received from the user does not satisfy the condition.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein
 the first external apparatus is a different apparatus than the second external apparatus.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein
 the first external apparatus and the second external apparatus are the same.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein
 the first and second attribute comprises at least two of file name, storage location, size, creation date and time, update date and time, a title, a creator, and keyword regarding the file.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the file is a document accessible from the external server. 
     
     
         13 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program causing a computer to:
 controlling a display to display a first attribute information corresponding to a first attribute of a file and a second attribute information corresponding to a second attribute of the file, wherein the file is stored in an external server and accessible from an external apparatus;   receiving the first attribute information corresponding to the first attribute and the second attribute information corresponding to the second attribute from a user of an apparatus;   in a case where the first attribute information is updated in the external server by a first external apparatus, controlling the display to display the updated first attribute information without user instruction; and   in a case where the content of the file stored in the external server is updated by a second external apparatus, downloading the updated content of the file without user instruction based on a determination that the second attribute information received from the user satisfies a condition.   
     
     
         14 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 in a case where the content of the file in the external server is updated by the second external apparatus, downloading the updated content of the file only with a user instruction based on a determination that the second attribute information received from the user does not satisfy the condition.   
     
     
         15 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 13 , wherein
 the first external apparatus is a different apparatus than the second external apparatus.   
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 13 , wherein
 the first external apparatus and the second external apparatus are the same.   
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 13 , wherein
 the first and second attribute comprises at least two of file name, storage location, size, creation date and time, update date and time, a title, a creator, and keyword regarding the file.   
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 13 , wherein the file is a document accessible from the external server.
