Abstract: A first electronic message collector collects electronic messages travelling on a first network and stores the electronic messages in a first storage. A second electronic message collector collects electronic messages travelling on a second network and stores the electronic messages in a second storage. An electronic message associator retains a mapping table in which the correlation, or similar, between electronic messages travelling from the first network to a gateway device and electronic messages travelling from the gateway device the second network are defined. The electronic message associator references the mapping table and associates the electronic messages stored in the second storage with the electronic messages stored in the first storage. From the result of the above-mentioned association, a status analyzer determines whether or not receipt of electronic message between the first network and the second network is accomplished normally.

Abstract: By efficiently holding only information necessary for a desired control from among information that can be obtained from equipment such as air conditioners, lighting devices and other devices, the control of the air conditioners and other devices according to the situation is obtained with small-capacity memory resources. This facilitates uploading to an air conditioner control device having a relatively small memory capacity and makes it possible to efficiently customize the installed control program.

Abstract: Upon receiving an update registration request for operating state data from a user I/F controller (a device controller), an arbitrator determines whether to permit the update registration request. Upon permission, the arbitrator retains the update registration request for operating state data. If the update registration request is sent by the user I/F controller (the device controller) and the request is permitted by the arbitrator, the user I/F controller (the device controller) generates FIFO registration data, stores the data in a first FIFO buffer (a second FIFO buffer), and saves the data in a display data storage (a device control data storage). If the arbitrator is retaining an update registration request by the other controller, the user I/F controller (the device controller) retrieves the FIFO registration data from the second FIFO buffer (the first FIFO buffer) and saves the data in the display data storage (the device control data storage).

Abstract: A microcomputer retains a group definition table associating the sector sections created by dividing all sectors into multiple sections under a given condition with different memory regions on a flash memory, respectively. A memory control section makes reference to the group definition table to identify a memory region corresponding to a specified sector, and searches the identified memory region range for a physical address corresponding to the specified sector. Furthermore, the memory control section moves a specified sector within the identified memory region range for rewriting data corresponding to the specified sector.
