  • Patent number: 6523094
    Abstract: A portable information processing terminal device, realizing both a low power consumption and a large memory capacity, is formed by a first memory for storing files, a second memory for storing a plurality of files, the second memory having a larger memory capacity and a higher power consumption than the first memory, a processing unit configured to read and process files stored in the first memory, and to access the second memory when a desired file does not exist in the first memory, a judgement unit configured to judge whether there is a possibility of external power supply or not, a prohibition unit configured to prohibit activation of the second memory when the judging unit judges that there is no possibility of external power supply, and a control unit configured to select prescribed files that are expected to have probabilities for being accessed during a period in which activation of the second memory is prohibited by the prohibition unit, and to store the prescribed files into the first memory in adv

  • Publication number: 20020035591
    Abstract: In an information processing apparatus, a program processing unit executes a program described as an object-oriented language executed by a platform-independent machine language. A monitor unit monitors a change of a network address of the information processing apparatus. A reference provision unit provides a new network address of the information processing apparatus for another information processing apparatus when said monitor unit detects the change of the network address of the information processing apparatus.

  • Patent number: 5864853
    Abstract: A portable file system capable of sharing data among various computer environments, such that a user can freely utilize his own data under various computer environments. The system includes at least one portable data processing device having a memory unit for storing file data and file management data of portable side files; at least one stationary data processing device having a processing unit for executing desired processing by making accesses to the portable side files; and a conversion unit for converting at least one of the file data and the file management data of each requested file among the portable side files for which a file access request is issued by the processing unit into a form suitable for the stationary data processing device, such that the processing unit makes an access to each requested file among the portable side files according to converted file data/file management data obtained by the conversion unit.

  • Patent number: 5829041
    Abstract: A single virtual space management scheme suitable for a distributed system. The single virtual space for arranging programs and/or data among a plurality of computers forming the distributed system are divided into a plurality of regions called memory chapters, and a part of the single virtual space to be managed independently by each computer is requested from each computer in units of these memory chapters. Then, a server allocates one of the memory chapters to each computer in response to each request from each computer, while managing allocations of the memory chapters to the plurality of computers so as not to allocate each one of the memory chapters to more than one computers. Each memory chapter allocated to each computer is independently managed by further dividing each memory chapter into a plurality of sub-regions called memory sections, and carrying out an access protection in units of these memory sections at each computer.

  • Patent number: 5637182
    Abstract: An apparatus for attaching a tag on a neck portion of an article is disclosed. The apparatus includes an article-carrying member, a tag-supplying device, and a tag-carrying device disposed beyond the article-carrying member along a carrying direction of the article. The tag-carrying device includes two pairs of paired traveling belts disposed right and left of the tag and inclined so that each of the belts has a starting portion higher than the article and an ending portion of approximately the same height as a shoulder of the article. The tag-carrying device is adapted for carrying a tag synchronously with the carried article while holding both side edges of the tag between the upper and lower traveling belts to thereby insert a head of the article into a tag aperture and attach the tag to the neck portion of the article.
