An image processing apparatus (100) includes: a first processing unit (60) configured to operate in a virtual environment; a second processing unit (30) configured to cause the first processing unit (60) to operate; a direct control unit (62) configured to be made to operate by the first processing unit (60), and configured to directly control hardware (21) without having the second processing unit (30) in between; and an alternative control unit (32) configured to be made to operate by the second processing unit (30), and configured to substitutively perform, before the direct control unit (62) is activated, predetermined processing that is supposed to be performed by the direct control unit (62). The direct control unit (62) is configured to succeed, after activated, contents of the predetermined processing that has been performed by the alternative control unit (32). |
