The information may be updated at the end of the device, at a specified cycle, when data is written to or read from the storage device, or when a specified operation is performed (for example, when an input / output operation is performed for a certain period of time). If at least one operation is performed, the predetermined information (for example, a document file in a specific directory) is updated. The information here is, for example, a document file in the case of a personal computer,
In the case of FAX, it is an electronic image file (may be an attached file of e-mail), and in the case of telephone, it is an electronically recorded voice.
