Abstract: A process monitoring device has a sending process to send communication data periodically and has a receiving process to receive the sent communication data. The receiving process includes a monitoring thread to write monitoring data in a memory at every reference interval. The sending process includes an acquiring thread to acquire the monitoring data from the memory and a sending thread to send the monitoring data to the receiving process as additional data together with the communication data. The monitoring thread judges a state of the sending process depending on how many times ago the monitoring data, which the additional data is, was generated.

Abstract: A table determination unit performs a table determination process, when an access request occurs, of determining presence/absence of access authority by referring to an authority table. A code determination unit performs a code determination process, when the access request occurs, of determining presence/absence of the access authority by executing a determination code to determine presence/absence of the access authority. An access control unit allows access in a case where it is determined by the table determination process that the access authority is present and it is determined by the code determination process that the access authority is present.

Abstract: A storage of an information processing apparatus stores data, and stores a password when the password has been set. If an entered password matches the password stored in the storage, an individual PW writer of a PW management unit of a controller performs at least one of data reading processing and data writing processing on the storage. The attachment state determination unit determines whether or not the information processing apparatus has been attached to an attachment target. In the case where the attachment state determination unit determines that the information processing apparatus has been attached to the attachment target, if the password is stored in the storage, the controller changes the password stored in the storage, and if the password is not stored in the storage, the controller stores and sets a new password in the storage.

Abstract: It is an object to provide a technique that can enhance data rewriting tolerance. An information processing apparatus includes a first nonvolatile memory and a second nonvolatile memory. The first nonvolatile memory stores first data. The second nonvolatile memory stores second data that is higher in update frequency than the first data. This allows the data rewriting tolerance in the device to be enhanced. For example, data of a dynamic map that is a dynamically changeable map can be applied to at least the second data among the first data and the second data.

Abstract: A data transfer apparatus (10) performs data transfer between a main storage device (12) and a peripheral device (13) such as a secondary storage device (131). The data transfer apparatus (10) estimates the frequency of occurrence of the data transfer on the basis of information such as processing executed in a processor (11), sets a transfer length shorter as the frequency of occurrence of the data transfer is higher, and instructs data transfer between the main storage device (12) and the peripheral device (13) in accordance with the transfer length being set, the transfer length indicating the amount of data transferred in one execution of the data transfer.

Abstract: A program execution system includes a program execution unit that executes a plurality of programs including a plurality of resident programs, and a resident program launch controller that controls a sequence in which a plurality of the resident programs is launched. The program execution unit sequentially launches the plurality of resident programs, at system startup, according to a launch sequence definition that is information specifying a sequence in which the plurality of the resident programs is to be launched. If the amount of resources being used exceeds a certain value due to the launch of the plurality of resident programs, the resident program launch controller modifies the launch sequence definition at the current system startup and uses the modified launch sequence definition at the next system startup.
