    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a practical means for restraining electric power consumption by reducing operational performance of a CPU, and restraining the electric power consumption and generation of heat of the whole system when the CPU requires waiting time in the relationship with a device and is processing a program. SOLUTION: A command code executed by the CPU 101 and information on the operational performance when executing this command code are loaded in the CPU 101, and the operational performance of the CPU 101 is dynamically set to a value determined on the basis of the loaded information on the operational performance so that the CPU 101 executes this command code by the preset operational performance.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a superior information processing system with a power management function which reduce the power consumption by adequately lowering or stopping the operating frequency of a CPU by providing a power-saving means which places the CPU in power-saving mode for a specific time after the end of a transaction. SOLUTION: The CPU and a peripheral equipment are driven asynchronously and while the both communicate with each other, an interruption request is generated for a handshake and the CPU should respond speedily to the interruption request. The CPU, however, is in a mere wait state for the specific period after a specific transaction ends and the timing of the generation of a next interruption request is previously known. In this wait state, the operation of the CPU is lowered to save the electric power and the CPU is put back to its normal mode before an interruption request is generated to keep the maintainability of the system.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a work environment by a proper OS by selectively and automatically starting a plurality of OSs according to the hardware constitution. SOLUTION: The plurality of operating systems are stored in a storage device of a computer device 10. A CPU 11 controlled by the first operating system stores a program image of the second operating system in a prescribed memory area of a main memory 13, and preserves the storage content of this main memory 13, and cuts off a power source of the CPU 11. When starting the system, the CPU 11 recognizes the hardware constitution of one's own system by control of BIOS, and starts the first operating system stored in the storage device or the second operating system for preserving the program image in the main memory 13 according to the recognized hardware constitution.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for easily switching different operations to input coordinates without making it necessary to preliminarily change the setting even when a coordinate input means capable of inputting the coordinates of only one point at the same time is used. SOLUTION: When first coordinates are inputted, whether or not second coordinates away from the first coordinates by a prescribed distance or more are inputted within a prescribed time is determined (steps S2-S4, S9), or after the first coordinates are inputted, whether or not the second coordinates away from the first coordinates by the prescribed distance or more are inputted with the prescribed time, and whether or not third coordinates in the prescribed neighborhood of the first coordinates are inputted afterwards within the prescribed time is determined (steps S2-S6, S9, S10), and first processing (a step S11) based on the first coordinates or second processing (a step S7) based on the first coordinates is executed according to the determination result.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce energy consumption accompanying the execution of a program by adjusting the computing capacity of a central processing unit more accurately than before. SOLUTION: An information processor for setting appropriate computing capacity to the central processing unit capable of changing the computing capacity during execution comprises: an execution time measurement part for changing the computing capacity of the central processing unit and measuring execution time each time a program area is executed during the execution of an execution program for each of the plurality of program areas included in the execution program; an appropriate computing capacity judgement part for judging the appropriate computing capacity with which the program area is to be executed by the central processing unit on the basis of the execution time for each computing capacity measured for the respective program areas; and a computing capacity setting part for performing setting for executing the program area by the appropriate computing capacity of the program area when the program area is executed again during the execution of the execution program for the respective program areas.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To securely perform a control to a device without impairing the availability of a system. SOLUTION: When a control for making the device 13 usable or unusable is requested from a hot key 11 or an AP 70, the AP 70 determines whether password authentication is necessary or not. When the password authentication is necessary, an ACPI BIOS 40 receives the effect through a device driver 50, suspends an OS 60. An SMI handler 30 displays a password prompt to a display 12 in this state, and if the input password is proper, the control of the device 13 is instructed to an embedded controller 20. At that time, the embedded controller 20 determines the control instruction from the SMI handler 30 by monitoring a signal for switching to SMM. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
