The present invention provides a device and a method for displaying appropriately on the display area for each processing unit such as an application according to the applied equipment. The CPUprocesses display area acquisition requests from a plurality of processing units R-Rn according to a display management program. The display management program decides whether use of the display area is allowed to each processing unit, considering the relationship of the plurality of display areas requested from each processing unit R-Rn. Each processing unit R-Rn executes display processing for the display area for which use is allowed. In this way, whether use is allowed is notified from the display management program to each processing unit R-Rn after each processing unit R-Rn sends the display area acquisition request. As a consequence, display in a plurality of areas by each processing unit R-Rn can be controlled appropriately.

Display control device and method

A display control device for controlling a display of a display device responding to display processing from a plurality of processing units. A display controlling program controls the display device in response to at least one processing unit. The display controlling program receives a request from one processing unit to acquire one of predefined display areas, and determines whether to provide an authorization to acquire one of a plurality of predefined display areas in response to an acquisition request from the one processing unit. When a plurality of requests to acquire the same one of predefined display areas from a plurality of processing units are received, authorization is provided to a single processing unit that made one of the requests to acquire the same one of predefined display areas. The display device is instructed by a processor, based on the display controlling program. A memory, connected to the processor, stores the display controlling program. When an acquisition request for the same one of predefined display areas is received, the processor instructs the display device based on the display controlling program.

The present invention provides a device and a method for displaying appropriately on the display area for each processing unit such as an application according to the applied equipment. The CPUprocesses display area acquisition requests from a plurality of processing units R1-Rn according to a display management program. The display management program decides whether use of the display area is allowed to each processing unit, considering the relationship of the plurality of display areas requested from each processing unit R1-Rn. Each processing unit R-Rn executes display processing for the display area for which use is allowed. In this way, whether use is allowed is notified from the display management program to each processing unit R1-Rn after each processing unit R1-Rn sends the display area acquisition request. As a consequence, display in a plurality of areas by each processing unit R1-Rn can be controlled appropriately.

The present invention provides a device and a method for displaying appropriately on the display area for each processing unit such as an application according to the applied equipment. The CPUprocesses display area acquisition requests from a plurality of processing units R&#x2013;Rn according to a display management program. The display management program decides whether use of the display area is allowed to each processing unit, considering the relationship of the plurality of display areas requested from each processing unit R&#x2013;Rn. Each processing unit R&#x2013;Rn executes display processing for the display area for which use is allowed. In this way, whether use is allowed is notified from the display management program to each processing unit R&#x2013;Rn after each processing unit R&#x2013;Rn sends the display area acquisition request. As a consequence, display in a plurality of areas by each processing unit R&#x2013;Rn can be controlled appropriately.

Device and method for authorizing use of a pre-coded display area

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for synthesizing a plurality of program component specifications into a single program component specification. Each program component transforms its state in operation, responding to an input of an event and in turn outputs another event in accordance with the transformation to the other program components. The program component specifications each includes a table showing events to be inputted therein, a table showing states of the program component in operation, a table showing state transformations in response to the input events, and a table showing events to be outputted therefrom according to the state transformations.

Apparatus and method for synthesizing program specification from

A washing process control procedure displayed as a mark is read and its content is interpreted. After this, washing processes are automatically controlled in accordance with the interpreted washing process control procedure. As a result, a most suitable washing method can be achieved in accordance with the washing agent used and the garment to be washed.

Washing control device and washing control system

An apparatus control system where a major terminal for inputting a user's request is connected via a communication path to at least one apparatus terminal which has an apparatus for implementing the user's request. Such apparatus control system comprises a request accepting unit for accepting the user's request written in a certain form, a storing unit for storing a correspondence table which corresponds a control procedure written in a certain rule to each request, a retrieving unit for retrieving the control procedure, a corresponding apparatus identifying unit for interpreting the retrieved control procedure to identify the apparatus, an implementation directing unit for transmitting to the identified apparatus a command which directs an implementation of the user's request, and an implementation controller for receiving the command and controlling an operation of the apparatus according to the received command.
