Apparatus, method and program product for preventing system mode change by mistaken instruction
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a request signal obtaining module for obtaining from a user input instruction a change request signal for requesting a change of an operating mode of a system;
an instruction signal generation module for generating a change instruction signal for changing the operating mode of said system according to said change request signal obtained by said request signal obtaining module;
an operation control module for changing the operating mode of said system according to said change instruction signal generated by said instruction signal generation module; and
an instruction signal generation control module for preventing said instruction signal generation module from generating said change instruction signal if said request signal obtaining module re-obtains the same change request signal as said change request signal during a time period required for said operation control module to successfully change the operating mode of said system.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus that allows the operating mode of a system to be changed according to the input of a user instruction includes a request signal obtaining module for obtaining a change request signal for requesting the change of the operating mode of the system; an instruction signal generation module for generating a change instruction signal for changing the operating mode of the system according to the change request signal obtained by the request signal obtaining module; an operation control module for changing the operating mode of the system according to the change instruction signal generated by the instruction signal generation module; and an instruction signal generation control module for preventing the instruction signal generation module from generating the change instruction signal if the request signal obtaining module re-obtains the same change request signal as the change request signal during a time period required for the operation control module to successfully change the operating mode of the system.

6. A method, comprising:
-
obtaining from a user input instruction a change request signal for requesting a change of an operating mode of a system;
generating a change instruction signal for changing the operating mode of said system according to said change request signal;
changing the operating mode of said system according to said change instruction signal; and
preventing generation of said change instruction signal if the same change request signal as said change request signal is re-obtained during a time period required for successfully changing the operating mode of said system. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

10. A computer program product comprising computer-readable instructions effective when executing on an information processing apparatus to function as:
-
a request signal obtaining module for obtaining from a user input instruction a change request signal for requesting a change of an operating mode of a system;
an instruction signal generation module for generating a change instruction signal for changing the operating mode of said system according to said change request signal obtained by said request signal obtaining module;
an operation control module for changing the operating mode of said system according to said change instruction signal generated by said instruction signal generation module; and
an instruction signal generation control module for preventing said instruction signal generation module from generating said change instruction signal if said request signal obtaining module re-obtains the same change request signal as said change request signal during a time period required for said operation control module to successfully change the operating mode of said system. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
