Patent number: 11467944Abstract: In an information processing apparatus (100), obtaining units such as a first obtaining unit (200) and a second obtaining unit (230) obtain general-purpose OS information in a test operation phase in which a real-time application and a plurality of general-purpose applications are executed. The general-purpose OS information is information on use of hardware by each of the plurality of general-purpose applications executed in the test operation phase. A management unit (220) verifies whether or not a condition to place a restriction on the use of the hardware is satisfied for each general-purpose application based on the general-purpose OS information obtained by the obtaining unit. The management unit (220), when the condition is verified as being satisfied, places a restriction on the use of the hardware for an applicable general-purpose application in an actual operation phase in which the real-time application and the plurality of general-purpose applications are executed.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Yurika Terada, Akio Idehara, Takehisa Mizuguchi, Ryohei Kuba, Shinichi Ochiai, Hiroki Konaka

Patent number: 11409566Abstract: A process control unit (41) causes a plurality of control-target processes to operate in a memory area of a size equal to or smaller than a limiting value x. When a stopping process is detected, a resource allocation unit (43) allocates a size of a usable memory area for each of the control-target processes as a relaxed limiting value. When the stopping process is detected, the process control unit (41) causes each of the control-target processes to perform fallback operation in a memory area of a size equal to or smaller than the relaxed limiting value allocated to the process by the resource allocation unit (43).Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2018Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Yuya Ono, Hirotaka Motai, Masahiro Deguchi, Shinichi Ochiai, Hiroki Konaka, Shunsuke Nishio, Toshiaki Tomisawa

Patent number: 11256537Abstract: An interrupt handler unit (130) generates a timer interrupt at an interrupt time, and executes an interrupt preparation process. A wait time period measurement unit (142) a measures a time period from completion of the interrupt preparation process to generation of a start request (201) as a wait time period. A time calculation unit (441) calculates a subtraction time period based on the wait time period measured by the wait time period measurement unit (142), and calculates a preparation time period that is the sum of a time period obtained by subtracting the subtraction time period from the wait time period and a processing time period of the interrupt preparation process.
