Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus using a software start-up method, selects execution-targeted software data to be used for starting execution of the start-up processing, out of software data stored in a first storage device; starts the execution of the start-up processing by using the execution-targeted software data; searches for another software data other than the execution-targeted software data, from software data stored in the first storage device; determines whether the another software data is changed from its initial-state; and, if the another software data is changed, selects initial-state software data as the initial state of the another software data from said at least one software data stored in a second storage device, reads the initial-state software data from the second storage device, and replaces the another software data stored in the first storage device with the read initial-state software data by overwriting.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a first storage device as a non-volatile storage device being capable of storing a plurality of items of software data to be used when execution of start-up processing of the apparatus is started, the plurality of items of software data being capable of being read from and written in the first storage device; a second storage device as a non-volatile storage device offering a second data transfer rate not hig…
