(Functional Configuration of MFP 100)
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a functional configuration of the MFP 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. Here, among the functions of the MFP 100, general functions are omitted from illustration and description, and functions to enable early use of an application frequently used by the user after hibernation is activated will be illustrated and described.

As shown in FIG. 2, the MFP 100 includes a shutdown processing unit 210, a hibernation manager 220, and a plurality of applications 230.

<Shutdown processing unit 210>
The shutdown processing unit 210 controls the shutdown processing of the MFP 100. The shutdown processing unit 210 includes a candidate list acquisition unit 211, an application activation unit 212, a condition setting unit 213, and a hibernation image acquisition unit 214.

The candidate list acquisition unit 211 acquires the candidate list created by the candidate list creation unit 225 of the hibernation manager 220.

Before the MFP 100 shuts down, the application activation unit 212 activates the application 230 that is frequently used by the user from the plurality of applications 230 based on the candidate list acquired by the candidate list acquisition unit 211. Specifically, the application activation unit 212 activates the plurality of applications 230 indicated in the candidate list in descending order of the number of activations indicated in the candidate list before the MFP 100 shuts down. At this time, the application activation unit 212 activates the plurality of applications 230 within a range in which the total value of the memory footprints of the activated applications 230 does not exceed the memory usage limit value set by the condition setting unit 213.

The condition setting unit 213 sets various conditions for acquiring a hibernation image. For example, the condition setting unit 213 displays a predetermined setting screen (see FIG. 7) on the display unit (for example, the panel display unit 140a) so that the start history information stored in the start history information storage unit 224 can be selected from the start history. The user setting of the acquisition target period of the startup information acquired to create the candidate list is accepted. Then, the condition setting unit 213 sets the acquisition target period set by the user in the memory (ROM, RAM, etc.) included in the MFP 100. In addition, for example, the condition setting unit 213 displays a predetermined setting screen (see FIG. 8) on the display unit (for example, the panel display unit 140a) so that the memory usage amount (that is, Accept the user setting of (Memory usage limit value). Then, the condition setting unit 213 sets the memory usage amount set by the user in the memory (ROM, RAM, etc.) included in the MFP 100.

The hibernation image acquisition unit 214 acquires a hibernation image for hibernation in a state where an application frequently used by a user is activated by the application activation unit 212 before the MFP 100 is shut down. Specifically, the hibernation image acquisition unit 214 saves the hibernation image of the application activated by the application activation unit 212 from the volatile memory (RAM or the like) to the nonvolatile memory (ROM or the like). As a result, when the MFP 100 returns from the sleep mode, the MFP 100 uses the hibernation image stored in the non-volatile memory to restore the state in which the application (the application frequently used by the user) is activated. You can

<Application 230>
Each application 230 has a startup processing unit 231 and a notification unit 232. The activation processing unit 231 executes the activation processing of the application 230. When the activation processing unit 231 completes the activation processing of the application 230, the notification unit 232 notifies the hibernation manager 220 of the completion notification of the activation processing.

<Hibernation manager 220>
The hibernation manager 220 manages activation history information regarding activation of the application 230. The hibernation manager 220 has a notification receiving unit 221, a startup information acquisition unit 222, a startup information registration unit 223, a startup history information storage unit 224, and a candidate list creation unit 225.

When the activation process of the application 230 is completed and the activation process completion notification is transmitted from the notification unit 232 of the application 230, the notification receiving unit 221 receives the activation process completion notification.

When the notification receiving unit 221 receives the completion notification of the activation process, the activation information acquisition unit 222 acquires activation information regarding the activated application 230 from the system. For example, the activation information includes the application unique ID, the activation date and time, and the memory footprint.

When the activation information acquisition unit 222 acquires the activation information, the activation information registration unit 223 registers the activation information in the activation history information stored in the activation history information storage unit 224.

The boot history information storage unit 224 stores boot history information. The activation information is registered in the activation history information by the activation information registration unit 223 every time the application 230 is activated. That is, the activation history information is an aggregate of a plurality of activation information. Note that an example of the boot history information stored in the boot history information storage unit 224 will be described later with reference to FIG.

The candidate list creation unit 225 creates a candidate list based on the boot history information stored in the boot history information storage unit 224 in response to a request from the shutdown processing unit 210. The candidate list is a list showing a plurality of applications that are candidates for activation by the application activation unit 212. For example, the candidate list shows the activation statistical information of each of the plurality of applications 230 that are candidates for activation by the application activation unit 212. Each activation statistical information is statistical information based on the activation history information stored in the activation history information storage unit 224, and includes “application unique ID”, “number of activations”, and “memory footprint”. An example of the candidate list created by the candidate list creation unit 225 will be described later with reference to FIG.

Each function of the embodiments described above can be realized by one or a plurality of processing circuits. Here, the “processing circuit” in the present specification is a processor programmed to execute each function by software, such as a processor implemented by an electronic circuit, or designed to execute each function described above. ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), DSPs (digital signal processors), FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays) and conventional circuit modules.

For example, each function of the embodiment described above is realized by the CPU 101 (computer) executing a program stored in various storage devices (ROM 102a, RAM 102b, etc.) in the MFP 100. This program may be provided in a state of being installed in MFP 100 in advance, or may be provided from the outside and installed in MFP 100. In the latter case, this program may be provided by an external storage medium (eg, USB memory, memory card, CD-ROM, etc.), or by being downloaded from a server on a network (eg, the Internet). You may do it.

(Sequence of application startup processing by the MFP 100)
FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram of an application startup process by the MFP 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The application activation process described here is executed by the MFP 100 every time each application 230 in the MFP 100 performs the activation process.

First, in the application 230 that is the activation target, the activation processing unit 231 performs activation processing of the application 230 (step S301). Then, when the activation processing by the activation processing unit 231 is completed, the notification unit 232 notifies the hibernation manager 220 of the completion of the activation processing of the application 230 (step S302).

In the hibernation manager 220, the notification receiving unit 221 is waiting in advance for a notification of completion of the activation process (step S311). Then, when the notification receiving unit 221 receives the completion notification of the activation process notified from the application 230 (step S312), the activation information acquisition unit 222 uses the system-specific application ID of the application 230, activation, as activation information, from the system. The date and time and the memory footprint are acquired (step S313). Then, the activation information registration unit 223 registers the activation information acquired in step S313 in the activation history information stored in the activation history information storage unit 224 (step S314).

(Example of boot history information stored in boot history information storage unit 224)
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of startup history information stored in the startup history information storage unit 224 in the MFP 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the activation history information 400 stored in the activation history information storage unit 224 stores a plurality of activation information for each activation of the application 230. Each activation information includes “application unique ID”, “activation date and time”, and “memory footprint”.

For example, as the “application unique ID”, an ID (for example, UID) for uniquely identifying the application 230 is set. Further, for example, the “start date and time” is set to the system date and time when the notification receiving unit 221 receives the start processing completion notice from the application 230. Further, for example, the “memory footprint” is set with the memory usage amount (unit: MB) by the process activating the application 230.

(Procedure of shutdown processing by the shutdown processing unit 210)
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a procedure of shutdown processing by the shutdown processing unit 210 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

First, the candidate list acquisition unit 211 requests the hibernation manager 220 to create a candidate list (step S501). Then, when the candidate list creation unit 225 of the hibernation manager 220 creates the candidate list, the candidate list acquisition unit 211 acquires the candidate list (step S502).

Next, the application activation unit 212 determines whether or not all the applications 230 have been searched from the candidate list acquired in step S502 (step S503).

When it is determined in step S503 that all the applications 230 have not been searched from the candidate list (step S503: No), the application launching unit 212 causes the application with the largest number of launches from the candidate list acquired in step S502. 230 (hereinafter referred to as "app X") is searched (step S504). Here, the application activation unit 212 excludes the application X searched for in step S504 from the subsequent search targets in the candidate list acquired in step S502 (step S505).

Next, the application activation unit 212 calculates the value A and the value B by the following mathematical expressions (1) and (2) (step S506).

A = current memory usage + memory footprint of app X (1)
B=amount of memory installed in MFP 100×user setting ratio (2)
In the above mathematical expression (1), the “memory footprint of the application X” can use the memory footprint shown in the candidate list.

Further, in the above formula (2), the “user setting ratio” can use the memory use limit value set by the condition setting unit 213.

Then, the application activation unit 212 determines whether the value A calculated in step S506 is smaller than the value B calculated in step S506 (step S507).

When it is determined that the value A is less than the value B in step S507 (step S507: Yes), the application activation unit 212 activates the application X (step S508). Then, the shutdown processing unit 210 returns the processing to step S503.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S507 that the value A is equal to or greater than the value B (step S507: No), the shutdown processing unit 210 returns the process to step S503.

When it is determined in step S503 that all the applications 230 have been searched from the candidate list (step S503: Yes), the hibernation image acquisition unit 214 acquires a hibernation image (step S509). Then, the shutdown processing unit 210 performs a predetermined shutdown processing of the MFP 100 (step S510), and ends the series of processing shown in FIG.

Through the series of processing illustrated in FIG. 5, a plurality of applications 230 that are frequently used by the user are started before the MFP 100 shuts down. At this time, the memory footprint of the activated application 230 does not exceed the remaining memory capacity, and the total value of the memory footprints of the activated applications 230 is set in the memory set by the condition setting unit 213. A plurality of applications 230 are activated so that the usage limit value is not exceeded. Then, before the MFP 100 shuts down, a hibernation image is acquired with a plurality of applications 230 that are frequently used by the user being activated. With this, when the MFP 100 returns from the hibernate mode, the MFP 100 can restore the state in which the plurality of applications 230 that are frequently used by the user are activated by using the acquired hibernation image. Therefore, the user can immediately use the plurality of frequently used applications 230 after hibernation activation of the MFP 100.

(Example of candidate list)
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a candidate list used in the MFP 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the candidate list 600 is a list in which activation statistical information of each of the plurality of applications 230 that are candidates for activation by the application activation unit 212 is shown. Each activation statistical information is statistical information based on the activation history information stored in the activation history information storage unit 224, and includes “application unique ID”, “number of activations”, and “memory footprint”.

For example, as the “application unique ID”, an ID (for example, UID) for uniquely identifying the application 230 is set. Further, for example, the “number of times of activation” is set based on the activation history information stored in the activation history information storage unit 224, and the number of times the application 230 has been activated within the designated period designated by the user. Further, for example, in the “memory footprint”, the amount of memory used (unit: MB) by the process that starts the application 230 is set based on the start history information stored in the start history information storage unit 224.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that “2019/1/1 or later” is set in the acquisition target period set by the condition setting unit 213. Therefore, in the candidate list 600 shown in FIG. 6, the statistical information of each application 230 is based on the start information whose “start date/time” is “2019/1/1 or later” in the start history information shown in FIG. Has been created.

Further, in the candidate list 600, when the “start count” is a plurality of times, the “memory footprint” is set with an average value of a plurality of memory usage amounts corresponding to the plurality of starts. For example, in the startup history information shown in FIG. 4, the three items of startup information of the application 230 for which “0” is set in the “application unique ID” are “50” and “60” in the “memory footprint”, respectively. , “70” are set. For this reason, in the candidate list 600 shown in FIG. 6, in the activation statistical information of the application 230 in which “0” is set in the “application unique ID”, “3” is set in the “start count”, and "60" (average value of the above-mentioned three memory usage amounts "50", "60", "70") is set in the "memory footprint".

(Example of setting screen)
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a setting screen used in the MFP 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The setting screen 700 shown in FIG. 7 is a setting screen for accepting the user setting of the acquisition target period of the startup information acquired for creating the candidate list from the startup history stored in the startup history information storage unit 224. is there. The setting screen 700 is displayed on the display unit (for example, the panel display unit 140a) by the condition setting unit 213.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, the setting screen 700 has an input field 701. In the input field 701, the acquisition target period desired by the user (the latest number of days in the example shown in FIG. 7) is set by the user. Note that the method for specifying the period is not limited to this, and the date and time that is the beginning of the acquisition target period may be displayed so that it can be set.

The acquisition target period set by the setting screen 700 is set in the memory (ROM, RAM, etc.) included in the MFP 100 by the condition setting unit 213. Then, the acquisition target period set in the memory is used by the candidate list creation unit 225 as the acquisition target period of the startup information acquired for creating the candidate list.

(Another example of setting screen)
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing another example of the setting screen used in the MFP 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. A setting screen 800 shown in FIG. 8 is a setting screen for accepting a user setting of a memory usage amount (that is, a memory usage amount limit value) secured for acquiring a hibernation image. The setting screen 800 is displayed on the display unit (for example, the panel display unit 140a) by the condition setting unit 213.

In the example shown in FIG. 8, the setting screen 800 has selection buttons 801, 802, 803, 804 and an input field 805. The selection button 801 is selected when the memory usage limit value is set to “no limit (100%)”. The selection button 802 is selected when the memory usage limit value is set to “medium (50%)”. The selection button 803 is selected when the memory usage limit value is set to “low (30%)”. The selection button 804 is selected when the memory usage limit value is set to an arbitrary value input by the user. The user can select any one of the selection buttons 801, 802, 803, 804. Further, when the user selects the selection button 804, the user can input an arbitrary value in the input field 805.

The memory usage limit value set by the setting screen 700 is set in the memory (ROM, RAM, etc.) of the MFP 100 by the condition setting unit 213. Then, the memory usage limit value set in the memory is used by the application launching unit 212 so that the total value of the memory footprints of the launched applications does not exceed the memory usage limit value. For example, when the memory loading amount of the MFP 100 is “2 GB” and the memory usage limit value “medium (50%)” is set as shown in FIG. 8, the application launching unit 212 launches the application. The plurality of applications 230 are activated so that the total value of the memory footprints of the executed applications does not exceed “1 GB”.

As described above, in the MFP 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the usage frequency by the user selected from the plurality of applications 230 based on the boot history information stored in the boot history information storage unit 224 is The hibernation image for hibernation is acquired in a state where the high application 230 is activated before the MFP 100 is shut down and the application 230 that is frequently used by the user is activated before the MFP 100 is shut down. And a hibernation image acquisition unit 214.

As a result, the MFP 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can immediately use the application 230 that is frequently used by the user after hibernation is activated.

Further, in the MFP 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the application activation unit 212 sequentially activates a plurality of applications in the descending order of the frequency of use by the user within a range in which the memory use amount does not exceed a predetermined memory use amount limit value. To do.

As a result, the MFP 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can limit the amount of memory used for starting the application 230, and thus can suppress the deterioration of the performance of the entire MFP 100.

Further, the MFP 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a condition setting unit 213 that displays a predetermined setting screen on the display unit and receives the setting of the memory usage limit value from the user.

As a result, in the MFP 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the user can arbitrarily set the memory usage amount that can be allocated for starting the application 230.
