  • Patent number: 8191009
    Abstract: The present invention provides a device and a method for displaying appropriately on the display area for each processing unit such as an application according to the applied equipment. The CPU 12 processes display area acquisition requests from a plurality of processing units R1-Rn according to a display management program. The display management program decides whether use of the display area is allowed to each processing unit, considering the relationship of the plurality of display areas requested from each processing unit R1-Rn. Each processing unit R1-Rn executes display processing for the display area for which use is allowed. In this way, whether use is allowed is notified from the display management program to each processing unit R1-Rn after each processing unit R1-Rn sends the display area acquisition request. As a consequence, display in a plurality of areas by each processing unit R1-Rn can be controlled appropriately.

  • Patent number: 7739619
    Abstract: A display control device for controlling a display of a display device responding to display processing from a plurality of processing units. A display controlling program controls the display device in response to at least one processing unit. The display controlling program receives a request from one processing unit to acquire one of predefined display areas, and determines whether to provide an authorization to acquire one of a plurality of predefined display areas in response to an acquisition request from the one processing unit. When a plurality of requests to acquire the same one of predefined display areas from a plurality of processing units are received, authorization is provided to a single processing unit that made one of the requests to acquire the same one of predefined display areas. The display device is instructed by a processor, based on the display controlling program. A memory, connected to the processor, stores the display controlling program.

  • Publication number: 20020016166
    Abstract: A download system 1 in which a transmitting apparatus downloads a program to a receiving apparatus. The receiving apparatus 20 as a requester transmits a program download request to the transmitting apparatus 10, together with receiving apparatus information that indicates the use state of the resources in the receiving apparatus 20. The transmitting apparatus 10 judges whether the requested program can be executed by the receiving apparatus 20, based on the received receiving apparatus information and resource usage information 700 which indicates resources required for each program execution, and is held by the transmitting apparatus 10. The transmitting apparatus 10 downloads the requested program to the receiving apparatus 20 only when it judges positively.
