Abstract: An information processing apparatus improves the efficiency of use of a program capable of dynamically interrupting another program with a process. The program capable of dynamically interrupting another program with a process is received via a network and applied to the other program. A setting is received indicating whether the predetermined program should be applied to the other program when, after the predetermined program is applied, a supply of power to at least a part of the information processing apparatus is terminated and then resumed. Reapplication necessity information indicating the setting is stored in a storage unit. The predetermined program is reapplied to the other program when, after the application of the predetermined program, the supply of power to the at least a portion of the information processing apparatus is terminated and then resumed, based on the reapplication necessity information.
