Abstract: An apparatus that enables data to be input to and output from a first processing device that performs an arithmetic operation and outputs first data, a second processing device that performs an arithmetic operation and outputs second data that has a number of bits which is smaller than the first data, a first storage device and a second storage device. The apparatus includes a data dividing unit and a storage control unit. The data dividing unit divides the first data output from the first processing device. The storage control unit causes the divided first data to be stored in the first storage device and the second storage device and causes the second data output from the second processing device to be stored in one of the first and second storage devices.

Abstract: A dual mode communication system, with user equipment selectively connectable to a plurality of communication systems, for switching communication systems to which the user equipment should be connected, detects that the remaining battery level fell below a first threshold in the user equipment communicating over the W-CDMA system. In the system it is determined whether or not the user equipment can communicate using the GSM system, which can be operated with lower power consumption than the W-CDMA system. When it is determined that communication can be established with the GSM system, the system switches from a connection between the user equipment and the W-CDMA system to a connection between the user equipment and the GSM system without interrupting the communication over the W-CDMA.
