Information processing apparatus, information processing method, recording medium and program
View Patent ↗An information processing apparatus which is capable of executing applications includes first control means for controlling a system of the information processing apparatus and second control means for controlling the execution of the applications, and the second control means has state transition control means for defining states of application not dependent on the system and controlling transitions of the defined states and conversion means for converting a command into a format which can be recognized by the system when the command instructing a state transition to the state transition control means is issued.
1. A information processing method of an information processing apparatus capable of executing applications, comprising the steps of:
controlling a system of the information processing apparatus,
controlling the execution of the applications,
receiving a command instructing a state transition of the application,
judging whether a transition of a defined state is possible or not in accordance with a command, based on the state definition of the application not dependent on the system and a defined state of the application not dependent on the system when the command instructing a state transition is received, and
converting the command into a format which can be recognized by the system when the state transition is judged to be possible.
2. A non-transitory recording medium on which is recorded a program which is incorporated in a designated system and can be executed by a computer controlling execution of applications not dependent on the system, the program allows the computer to execute processing including the steps of:
receiving a command instructing a state transition of the application,
judging whether a transition of a defined state is possible or not in accordance with the command, based on the state definition of the application not dependent on the system and a defined state of the application not dependent on the system when the command instructing a state transition is received, and
converting the command into a format which can be recognized by the system when the state transition is judged to be possible.
