A media driveis loaded with a data discin which a plurality of files composing application software is recorded. A language information holding sectionholds use language information configured to specify a use language selected by a user in the information processing apparatusconcerned. For causing application to be in an executable state, a recording processing sectioncopies a language-dependent file recorded in the data discto an auxiliary storage apparatuson the basis of the use language information held in the language information holding section

Information processing apparatus and data copying method

A certain process included in a first execution space requests a local resource manager to allocate a resource. The local resource manager obtains the authentication ID of the process issuing the request and determines whether or not the resource can be allocated. If the resource can be allocated and the resource previously secured in the execution space can suffice the request, the local resource manager allocates the resource to the process. If the resource is insufficient, the local resource manager requests a global resource manager to allocate the resource. The global resource manager obtains the authentication ID of the first execution space issuing the request and determines whether or not the resource can be allocated. If it is determined that the resource can be allocated, the resource is allocated to the first execution space.

Method and apparatus for reservation and reallocation of surplus resources to processes in an execution space by a local resource manager after the execution space is generated succeeding the initialization of an application for which the execution space is created and the resources are allocated to the execution space by a global resource manager prior to application execution

Information processing method and information processing apparatus

A device control apparatus, comprising a processor for storing first key information, a memory section for storing encrypted second key information which is obtained by encrypting second key information such that the second key information is able to be restored through decryption using the first key information, and an interface section for carrying out authentication using the second key information when an access instruction requiring access to a device is given by the processor, and for controlling the access to the device based on the access instruction when the authentication is established.
