Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a controller that controls activation of a processing unit that processes data, and a memory that stores information related to the condition of a processing unit. The controller causes a processing unit to transition in advance from a stopped state to a ready state that is an intermediate state between the stopped state and an active state, and stores information related to the condition of the processing unit in the ready state into the memory. In response to receipt of a process request from a user, the controller causes the processing unit in the ready state to transition from the ready state to the active state by use of settings information specific to the user and the information related to the condition of the processing unit in the ready state.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an application on a framework that is separated into a core logic portion handling basic processing and a user interface frame portion handling rendering processing and operates; and a controller that executes the application and the framework. The core logic portion is implemented with an application programming interface defined by the framework, and publishes a method and an event that are used for communication with a core logic portion of another application.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program, the program being logically divided into a presentation layer that implements a user interface function of realizing a response from a user, a device service layer that controls a device in response to a call from the presentation layer and makes a notification to the presentation layer, and a base layer that makes the presentation layer and the device service layer cooperate with each other; and a controller that executes the program.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an application on a framework separated into a core logic portion handling basic processing and a user interface frame portion handling rendering processing and operates; and a controller that executes the application and the framework. The core logic portion is implemented with an application programming interface defined by the framework. The application includes plural applications including a device application. The framework loads all core logic portions of the plural applications at activation of a system. A core logic portion of the device application monitors a state of a device relating to execution of another application and holds information on the device. A core logic portion of the other application acquires the information on the device from the device application and holds the information as display information.

Abstract: An information processing device includes an informing unit. The informing unit provides information concerning a state of processing in a first informing mode and information concerning an object of the processing in a second informing mode at the same time. The first informing mode is a mode for providing information by using a first attribute which forms elements. The second informing mode is a mode for providing information by using, among the elements, a second attribute, which is different from the first attribute used in the first informing mode.

The application includes plural applications including a specific application, and a core logic portion of the specific application is implemented with a starter programming interface, displays a start screen, and displays a contingency screen in a case where an error occurs in another application.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives a process request for processing data, and a controller that, in response to receipt of a process request by the receiving unit, assigns a process to one of a first processing group including a processing unit that processes data, and a second processing group in which one or more processing units can be placed, the processing unit included in the first processing group including a number of processing units less than a predetermined upper limit number. The controller preferentially activates and assigns a process to the processing units included in the first processing group, and if the controller receives a process request that the processing units included in the first processing group are unable to fully process, the controller places a processing unit in the second processing group and assigns a process to the processing unit.

Abstract: An information processing device includes a creating unit, a state informing unit, and a setting unit. The creating unit creates an application for implementing a specific object by using at least one basic processing function. The state informing unit provides information concerning a processing state of the at least one basic processing function and a processing state of the application. The setting unit receives information for determining a display mode of a setting screen for setting settings information or a checking screen for checking the processing state of the application, and sets a determined display mode. The display mode is used for executing the application.
