Abstract: A processing load is reduced when a flash memory is used. A storage management device acquires an archive associated with an application, stores the acquired archive to one or more blocks among a plurality of blocks contained in the flash memory, and deletes one block among the plurality of blocks. In the archive storage, the acquired archive is stored in one of the blocks not storing an archive associated with an application different from that of the acquired archive, and in the deletion of one block, when an application is deleted, a block storing an archive associated with the application to be deleted is deleted.

Abstract: A reading-out section 108 is capable of reading out files recorded in a first auxiliary storage device 2a and a second auxiliary storage device 2b. A recording management section 106 moves a file of an application recorded in the second auxiliary storage device 2b to the first auxiliary storage device 2a. An application execution section 102 executes the application by using the file moved to the first auxiliary storage device 2a.

Abstract: A media drive 32 is loaded with a data disc 44b in which a plurality of files composing application software is recorded. A language information holding section 110 holds use language information configured to specify a use language selected by a user in the information processing apparatus 10 concerned. For causing application to be in an executable state, a recording processing section 104 copies a language-dependent file recorded in the data disc 44b to an auxiliary storage apparatus 2 on the basis of the use language information held in the language information holding section 110.

Abstract: An information processing device connected to a wireless LAN constituted by an access point, the information processing device acquiring application data from another information processing device connected to the wireless LAN. The information processing device includes a device detection section and a recording processing section. The device detecting section detects the other information processing device connected to the wireless LAN. The recording processing section, after the device detecting section has detected the other information processing device connected to the wireless LAN, acquires the application data from the other information processing device via a cable.

Abstract: A decrease in responsiveness when storing content in a flash memory is reduced. A storage management apparatus includes a flash memory including a plurality of blocks that include a plurality of usable blocks and one or more spare blocks. The apparatus is configured to acquire a new data set; change at least a part of the one or more spare blocks into a usable block and store the new data set in the thus changed usable block, in a case where a size of the new data set is larger than the writable area of the plurality of usable blocks and where the size of the new data set is larger than the writable area when an unnecessary data set contained in the plurality of usable blocks is deleted; and change the usable blocks all the data sets of which are deleted into spare blocks through garbage collection.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to reduce deterioration in responsiveness to storage of content in a flash memory. A storage management apparatus according to the present invention includes a flash memory including a plurality of blocks each having a reserved area and a normal area, acquires a new dataset when a writable area included in a normal area of the plurality of blocks is larger than the new dataset and the new dataset is smaller in size than the writable area included in the normal area of the plurality of blocks in a case where unnecessary datasets included in the plurality of blocks are deleted, copies non-unnecessary datasets from the normal area of a specific block including the unnecessary datasets to the normal area of another block, deletes all datasets included in the normal area of the specific block, and stores the new dataset in the normal area of the specific block from which all the datasets are deleted.

Abstract: A language information retention section retains working language information for specifying a user-selected working language in an information processing apparatus. A download processing section downloads application software into an auxiliary storage apparatus. The download processing section acquires a data region in the auxiliary storage apparatus as needed for an application body and language-dependent files for a working language before the start of an application software download, and then executes the application software download. In a case where the working language used by an application is changed, the download processing section confirms whether or not a data region for language-dependent files for the changed working language can be acquired in the auxiliary storage apparatus 2.
