Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to execute a process including acquiring control information of a first application program of which execution result is displayed, extracting a dependency relationship between the first application program and a second application program on a basis of the control information, and determining whether an access request for a device from the second application program is granted on a basis of the dependency relationship.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory, configured to execute a process including;

acquiring control information of a first application program of which execution result is displayed,

extracting a dependency relationship between the first application program and a second application program on a basis of the control information,

acquiring a remaining capacity of a power source;

acquiring device information corresponding to the remaining capacity of the power source; and

determining whether an access request for a device corresponding to the device information from the second application program is granted on a basis of the dependency relationship.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the process further includes:

granting an access request for the device from the second application program having dependency relationship with the first application program.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the process further includes:

denying an access request for the device from a third application program other than the first application program and the second application program.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the process further includes:

rewriting control information of a third application program other than the first application program and the second application program when the remaining capacity of the power source becomes a given value or less.

4. A control method of an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

acquiring control information of an application program of which execution result is displayed,

extracting a dependency relationship between the application program and another application program on a basis of the control information,

acquiring a remaining capacity of a power source;

acquiring device information corresponding to the remaining capacity of the power source; and

determining, by a processor, whether an access request for a device corresponding to the device information from the other application program is granted on a basis of the dependency relationship.

6. The control method according to claim 4, further comprising:

granting an access request for the device from the second application program having dependency relationship with the first application program.

7. The control method according to claim 4, further comprising:

denying an access request for the device from a third application program other than the first application program and the second application program.

8. The control method according to claim 4, further comprising:

rewriting control information of a third application program other than the first application program and the second application program when the remaining capacity of the power source becomes a given value or less.

5. A computer-readable storage medium that stores a control program causing a processor to execute a process including:

acquiring control information of an application program of which execution result is displayed,

extracting a dependency relationship between the application program and another application program on a basis of the control information,

acquiring a remaining capacity of a power source;

acquiring device information corresponding to the remaining capacity of the power source; and

determining whether an access request for a device corresponding to the device information from the other application program is granted on a basis of the dependency relationship.

9. The computer-readable storage medium according to claim 5, wherein the process further includes:

granting an access request for the device from the second application program having dependency relationship with the first application program.

10. The computer-readable storage medium according to claim 5, wherein the process further includes:

denying an access request for the device from a third application program other than the first application program and the second application program.

11. The computer-readable storage medium according to claim 5, wherein the process further includes:

rewriting control information of a third application program other than the first application program and the second application program when the remaining capacity of the power source becomes a given value or less.
