A system for managing a component or application determines whether to allow changeover of a component, which is used by an application, or launch of an application in accordance with amount of resources set for a component and used by the component.

Management system and management method

In a device that uses a virtual keyboard, an input field and a virtual keyboard used upon data input to that field are registered in association with each other. Upon data input, the associated virtual keyboard is used. When no associated virtual keyboard is available, a virtual keyboard of the system is used.

Virtual keyboard system and control method thereof

Management information which is transmitted from another terminal apparatus or a management apparatus and contains instructions used to manage terminal apparatuses is received (S). A process according to the corresponding instruction is executed with reference to the received management information (S-S). A terminal apparatus which has not received management information yet is searched for, and the management information is transferred to the found terminal apparatus (S).

Terminal apparatus and control method thereof

In a program executing apparatus, a code reading section reads intermediate codes into a storage unit. A data-reference analyzing section determines whether the operands of instructions in the intermediate codes stored in the storage unit require a data reference. Each data reference is analyzed for instructions requiring the data reference. A code rewriting section rewrites the operands of the instructions according to the analysis information obtained by the data-reference analyzing section. An address updating section updates the addresses of address-related instructions. After all intermediate codes are interpreted, a main interpreting and executing section starts interpreting and executing the intermediate codes.

Program executing apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium for interpreting and executing intermediate codes

In a print control system in which an information processor is connected to a plurality of printers, a print job that includes a plurality of instructions and print data associated with the plurality of instructions are received from a network. The received print data is stored, and the stored print data is read in accordance with the plurality of instructions. A printing device is controlled to output an image based on the read print data, in accordance with the plurality of instructions.
