摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes an internal control portion to execute a process predetermined for an internal command, an application executing portion to execute an application program, and an application control portion to convert an application command output from the application executing portion into an internal command and output the internal command to the internal control portion. The application control portion includes a controlled-object determination portion to determine whether the hardware resource to be controlled by a first internal command obtained by converting a first application command input from a first custom portion and the hardware resource to be controlled by a second internal command obtained by converting a second application command input from a second custom portion are of the same type, and an arbitration portion to control timings for outputting the first and second internal commands on the basis of the determination result by the controlled-object determination portion.
摘要:
A control portion of an image forming apparatus includes an internal control portion to execute a process predetermined for an internal command, a first application executing portion, and an application control portion to convert an application command output from one of second application executing portions into an internal command for output to the internal control portion. The application control portion includes a current task setting portion to set a second application executing portion to a currently selected state, and an arbitration portion to output operation identification information of a common operation accepted, to the second application executing portion currently selected. The first application executing portion includes a post-transition application determining portion which, when a process switching operation is accepted, determines a second application executing portion to be changed to the currently selected state next, on the basis of the process switching operation and the second application executing portion currently selected.
