Application Controlling Apparatus And Storage Medium Which Stores Software For The Apparatus
First Claim
1. An application controlling apparatus comprising:
- a basic application storage means for storing a basic application for implementing a basic function;
a basic application execution means for reading a basic application from said basic application storage means so as to make the basic application be executed;
an extended application acquisition/storage means for acquiring and storing an extended application for implementing an additional function;
an extended application execution means for reading an extended application from said extended application acquisition/storage means so as to make the extended application be executed; and
a resource monitor means for monitoring resources currently being consumed by the execution of said extended application, and for stopping a predetermined extended application while keeping the basic application running when an amount of usage of said resources exceeds a predetermined amount.
