Abstract
When execution of a program is started, in a case where a memory region used by the program when the execution of the program was stopped is usable, the past execution conditions of the program to be reproduced are enabled without reading in data disposed in the memory region used by the program, which data was stored when the execution of the program was stopped. When the execution of the program is stopped, a stop and end managing section performs control to store at least a part of the data disposed in the memory region used by the program in association with the program while retaining the data.
