  • Patent number: 10484571
    Abstract: A multifunction device integrally includes a first device and a second device. The first device has a first system, and the second system has a second system. The second device requests, in response to a predetermined command entered, a first snapshot of the first device from the first device. The first device generates the first snapshot in response to a request from the second device, and sends the first snapshot to the second device. The second device generates a second snapshot of the second device in response to the predetermined command entered, and saves, to a save destination, the first snapshot sent and the second snapshot. The first device starts the first system by using the first snapshot saved in the save destination. The second device starts the second system by using the second snapshot saved in the save destination.
