Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first processor, a second processor, and a positioning processor. The second processor consumes a reduced amount of power compared to the first processor during an operation. The positioning processor receives radio waves from positioning satellites and converts the radio waves into positioning data. The second processor controls the positioning processor. The second processor stores the positioning data received from the positioning processor. The second processor transfers the stored positioning data to the first processor at a timing determined in accordance with an operating condition of the first processor.

Abstract: A circuit pattern to be inspected is imaged so that an image signal representing the circuit pattern to be inspected is produced. The image signal of the circuit pattern is compared with a reference circuit pattern image signal, wherein a part of the image signal discerned to be different from the latter is detected as a candidate defect, at a rate synchronized with the rate of imaging. A local image signal corresponding to each local image covering a region including every one of detected candidate defects is extracted and stored in a memory device. Thereafter, on the basis of the local image signal read out from the memory device, whether or not the candidate defect concerned is fatally harmful with regard to electrical conductivity is examined at a rate asynchronous with the imaging rate.
