  • Patent number: 10484571
    Abstract: A multifunction device integrally includes a first device and a second device. The first device has a first system, and the second system has a second system. The second device requests, in response to a predetermined command entered, a first snapshot of the first device from the first device. The first device generates the first snapshot in response to a request from the second device, and sends the first snapshot to the second device. The second device generates a second snapshot of the second device in response to the predetermined command entered, and saves, to a save destination, the first snapshot sent and the second snapshot. The first device starts the first system by using the first snapshot saved in the save destination.
