| 1. A complex data processing device that processes embroidery data representing an embroidery pattern to be formed on fabric
by a sewing machine capable of embroidering and print data representing print pattern to be printed on the fabric by a printer,
the complex data processing device comprising:
a data acquiring unit that acquires the embroidery data and the print data;
an overlapped region detecting unit that detects an overlapped region at which an embroidery region represented by the embroidery
data and a printing region represented by the print data overlap based on the embroidery data and the print data acquired
by the data acquiring unit; and
a data modifying unit that deletes data corresponding to the overlapped region detected by the overlapped region detecting
unit from at least one of the embroidery data and the print data.
