  • Patent number: 9262240
    Abstract: A setting storage unit stores first setting information that defines an operation of a first application that runs on a guest OS and second setting information that defines an operation of a second application that runs on at least one of another guest OS and a host OS. A correspondence storage unit stores first identification information for identifying the first setting information and second identification information for identifying the second setting information, in association with each other. An alternative access gaining unit reads from the correspondence storage unit the second identification information corresponding to the first identification information of the first setting information for which an access request is received, and accesses the second setting information of the second identification information that is read out, in place of the first setting information for which the access request is received.

  • Publication number: 20140306977
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image drawing region determining module, a virtual buffer allocation module, a physical buffer allocation module, a first converter, and an image drawing module. The image drawing region determining module determines an image drawing region based on first image information. The virtual buffer allocation module allocates virtual addresses to a virtual buffer configured to store the first image information virtually. The physical buffer allocation module allocates physical addresses to a physical buffer configured to store second image information corresponding to the determined image drawing region. The first converter converts at least a part of the allocated virtual addresses into at least a part of the allocated physical addresses. The at least part of the virtual addresses corresponds to the second image information. The image drawing module stores he second image information in the physical buffer based on the physical addresses obtained through the conversion.
