20120269193 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SWITCHING CONNECTION TO A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - An apparatus includes first and second processors, a common memory, and a switch. The first processor executes an operating system, connects to a communication network and communicates with the communication network. The second processor operates independently of the operating system, connects to the communication network, and communicates with the communication network. The second processor writes, in the common memory, communication setting information being used by the second processor when the switch switches the connection destination from the second processor to the first processor. The first processor acquires the communication setting information, and sets the acquired communication setting information to the first processor. The switch switches the connection destination of the communication network from the second processor to the first processor after the communication setting information has been set to the first processor. | 10-25-2012 |
20130173877 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, DATA MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND STORAGE DEVICE - According to an aspect of the present invention, provided is an information processing device including a first storage unit and a processor. The processor sets, in an external device, device identification information of the information processing device. The processor stores a duplicate copy of data stored in the first storage unit in a second storage unit included in the external device. The processor invalidates, in response to an instruction for invalidating data, the data stored in the first storage unit. The processor restores the duplicate copy stored in the second storage unit on the first storage unit at a time of start-up of the information processing device after the invalidation when the external device is connected to the information processing device and the device identification information is set in the external device. | 07-04-2013 |
20130174153 | PLAYBACK APPARATUS AND PLAYBACK METHOD - A playback apparatus includes a storage unit and a processor. The storage unit stores therein, for each of a plurality of playback environments, information indicating suitability for playback of a content in association with an identifier of the content. The processor receives a content via a network. The processor selects a playback environment based on an identifier of the received content and the information stored in the storage unit. The processor starts a first virtual machine that includes the selected playback environment. The first virtual machine is one of a plurality of virtual machines each including a playback environment. The playback environments included in the plurality of virtual machines are different from one another. The processor requests the first virtual machine to play back the received content. | 07-04-2013 |
20130318392 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD - An information processing apparatus includes a memory, and a processor that executes a process in the memory. The process includes detecting a sign of a fault of a storage device that prohibits write access to a storage area of the storage device and permits read access to the storage area during a fault, and storing a copy of data to be written to the storage device as first copy data in the memory when the sign of a fault is detected. | 11-28-2013 |
20130346648 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, SUBSYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORING INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM - An information processing device capable of performing external communication through a communication device for performing communication includes a subsystem arranged between the communication device and a main unit of the information processing device including a central processing unit and an operating system. The subsystem temporarily stores communication data between the communication device and the central processing unit when the central processing unit is in a power source turned-off state or a suspended state, and the subsystem transfers the communication data between the communication device and the central processing unit when the central processing unit is in a power source turned-on state. Accordingly, external communication is enabled without altering the connection manager of the OS even when the subsystem is placed between the communication device and the OS. | 12-26-2013 |
20140032648 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, DATA PROVISION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An information processing apparatus includes an interface unit configured to connect to a network, a storage unit configured to store data which is provided with an apparatus that is an issuer of the data request, a provision unit configured to accept a provision request for a provision of data to the apparatus that is an issuer of the data request from an information providing apparatus configured to communicate via the interface unit, and provide data stored in the storage unit to the apparatus that is the issuer of the data request, an input unit configured to accept an input operation performed by a user, and a stopping unit configured to, in a case where a predefined condition is satisfied, make the provision unit stop the provision of the data to the apparatus that is the issuer of the data request. | 01-30-2014 |
20140081920 | MEDIUM, CONTROL METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - A medium stores a control program for an information processing apparatus. The control program causes the information processing apparatus to execute a procedure. The procedure includes obtaining history information on a type of an operation performed to each of a plurality of files, calculating a priority for a file among the files based on the type of the operation in the history information, and selecting a file among the files based on the priority. | 03-20-2014 |
20150205593 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE NON-TRANSITORY MEDIUM - An information processing device includes: a memory; and a circuitry, wherein the circuitry is configured: to read identification information for identifying an application software installed in a terminal and information relating to a usage condition of the application software in the terminal from the terminal; and to select a candidate application software and a candidate terminal to which the application software is served, based on the read identification information and the read information relating to the usage condition. | 07-23-2015 |
