Abstract

A non-transitory recording medium has a program recorded thereon for controlling a computer having first recording circuits, an emulator that emulates an information processing device, and a communicator which communicates with the information processing device, and the computer further having second recording circuits. The program controls the communicator to receive first information including input data, which is inputted to the information processing device, from the information processing device, causes recording of the first information in the first recording circuits, and controls the communicator to transmit second information to the information processing device, wherein the second information includes input data for the emulator.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory recording medium having recorded thereon a program executable by a computer which comprises first recording circuits which comprise an emulator, the emulator comprising a software engine that emulates operations of an educational device, the computer being communicably coupled with the educational device which comprises second recording circuits, and the program controlling the computer to perform functions comprising:
receiving first information from the educational device, the first information comprising input data which is inputted to the educational device;
recording the first information received from the educational device in the first recording circuits;
receiving input data input to the emulator;
executing, by the software engine, a process corresponding to the input data input to the emulator, in response to receipt of the input data input to the emulator; and
transmitting second information to the educational device, in response to the input data having been received and the software engine having executed the process, the second information being recordable in the second recording circuits, and the second information comprising (i) the input data input to the emulator and (ii) information for execution, by the educational device, of a substantially same process as the process executed by the software engine in response to receipt of the input data input to the emulator, whereby the educational device executes the substantially same process as the process executed by the software engine in response to receipt of the input data input to the emulator.

2. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the program further controls the computer to perform functions comprising:
in response to receiving a request from the educational device, transmitting the first information which is recorded in the first recording circuits to the educational device.

3. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein:
the educational device has unique identification information, and
the program further controls the computer to perform functions comprising:
receiving the first information and the identification information of the educational device, and
recording the first information in association with the identification information in the first recording circuits.

4. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 2 , wherein:
the educational device has unique identification information, and
the program further controls the computer to perform functions comprising:
receiving the first information and the identification information of the educational device, and
recording the first information in association with the identification information in the first recording circuits.

5. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein:
the computer further comprises a display, and
the program further controls the computer to perform functions comprising:
controlling the display to display a first displaying area and a second displaying area, the first displaying area displaying a first amount of information which is displayable in a display of the educational device, and the second displaying area displaying a second amount of information which is greater than the first amount of the information.

6. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 5 , wherein the program further controls the computer to perform functions comprising:
receiving an input operation input to the second displaying area, and
controlling the display to change a displaying state in the first displaying area based on the input operation.

7. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 2 , wherein the program further controls the computer to perform functions comprising:
in response to transmitting the second information to the educational device, transmitting the first information which is recorded in the first recording circuits to the educational device based on the request from the educational device.

8. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the program further controls the computer to perform functions comprising:
overwriting data of the emulator to input data which is received from another educational device.

9. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the first information comprises active mode information of the educational device which is recorded in the second recording circuits.

10. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the second information comprises active mode information of the emulator.

11. A non-transitory recording medium having recorded thereon a program executable by an educational device which is communicably coupled with a computer comprising first recording circuits which comprise an emulator, the emulator comprising a software engine that emulates operations of the educational device, the educational device comprising second recording circuits, and the program controlling the educational device to perform functions comprising:
transmitting first information to the computer, the first information comprising input data which is inputted to the educational device;
receiving second information from the computer, the second information being transmitted by the computer in response to receipt, by the computer, of input data input to the emulator and execution, by the software engine in response to receipt of the input data input to the emulator, of a process corresponding to the input data input to the emulator, and the second information comprising (i) the input data that is inputted to the emulator and (ii) information for execution, by the educational device, of a substantially same process as the process executed by the on software engine in response to receipt of the input data input to the emulator,
recording the input data contained in the second information received from the computer in the second recording circuits, and
controlling a content of a process executed by the educational device to be substantially the same as a content of the process executed by the software engine in response to receipt of the input data input to the emulator, based on the second information.

12. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 11 , wherein the program further controls the educational device to perform functions comprising:
requesting the second information from the computer,
receiving the second information from the computer,
recording the input data contained in the second information received from the computer in the second recording circuits, and
controlling the content of the process executed by the educational device to be substantially the same as the content of the process executed by the software engine in response to receipt of the input data input to the emulator.

13. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 11 , wherein:
the educational device has unique identification information, and
the program further controls the educational device to perform functions comprising:
transmitting the first information and the identification information of the educational device.

14. The non-transitory recording medium according to claim 12 , wherein:
the educational device has unique identification information, and
the program further controls the educational device to perform functions comprising:
transmitting the first information and the identification information of the educational device, in response to a request for the first information from the computer.
