Operation displaying device and image forming device
An operation displaying device including: an operation screen which receives an instruction for operation; a computing device which executes computation; and a performance monitoring unit which monitors a performance of an application software that executes display processing, wherein: when an operation mode of the operation displaying device is in a power saving mode and a remaining memory capacity of a memory, which is used as temporary storage by the computing device, is less than or equal to than a predetermined threshold, the performance monitoring unit restarts the application software which is running.
1. An operation displaying device having a power saving mode of operation and a non-power saving mode of operation, the operation display device comprising:
an operation screen configured to receive an instruction for operation and to display information to a user;
a computing device configured to execute computation for running an application software that executes display processing and for generating the instruction; and
a performance monitoring unit configured to monitor performance of the application software that executes the display processing,
wherein when the operation displaying device is in the power saving mode and a remaining memory capacity of a memory, which is used as temporary storage by the computing device, is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold, the computing device saves shared data in the memory by copying the shared data to a second memory area, the shared data stored in a first memory area shared with running application software excluding a browser, and the performance monitoring unit is configured to restart only the browser.
2. The operation displaying device according to claim 1 , wherein the performance monitoring unit is configured to restart the browser only when the performance mode is in the power saving mode for a second time or for more than the second time after the operation displaying device has been launched.
3. The operation displaying device according to claim 1 , wherein when the application software is running and one or more additional application software is also running, the performance monitoring unit is configured to select an application software among the application software and the one or more additional application software which is a cause for a decrease in the remaining memory capacity of the memory used as temporary storage by the computing device, and to restart the application software selected.
4. The operation displaying device according to claim 1 , wherein when the performance monitoring unit restarts the browser, the performance monitoring unit displays on the operation screen that a restarting was executed.
5. An image forming device that forms an image, the image forming device comprising the operation displaying device according to claim 1 .
6. The image forming device according to claim 5 , wherein the image forming device is a copy machine.
7. The image forming device according to claim 5 , wherein the image forming device is a facsimile machine.
8. The image forming device according to claim 5 , wherein the image forming device is a printer.
