Information processing apparatus and information processing apparatus startup control method

摘要

An information processing apparatus includes a first processor that is connected to an input/output device and is configured to execute a program for controlling an apparatus including the input/output device, and a second processor that is connected to an external network and is configured to execute a program for establishing communication via the external network, wherein when starting the information processing apparatus, the second processor verifies an integrity of the program to be executed by the first processor and starts the first processor when the integrity of the program to be executed by the first processor is verified, and when the integrity of the program to be executed by the first processor is not verified, the second processor issues a problem notification without using a user interface of the first processor.

主权项

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a first processor configured to be connected to an input/output device and execute a first computer-readable program for controlling an apparatus including the input/output device, the first processor having an interface device; and a second processor configured to be connected to an external network and execute a second computer-readable program for communicating with an external apparatus via the external network, the second processor including at least a near field communication device, wherein upon starting the information processing apparatus, the second processor is configured to,
verify an integrity of the second computer-readable program before verifying an integrity of the first computer-readable program,start the first processor when the integrity of the second computer-readable program and the first computer-readable program are verified; andwhen the integrity of the second computer-readable program and the first computer-readable program to be executed by the first processor are not verified, the second processor is configured to issue a problem notification without using the interface device of the first processor, and when the integrity of the first computer-readable program to be executed by the first processor is not verified, the near field communication device is configured to send the problem notification indicating that a verification problem has occurred in the first computer-readable program to be executed by the first processor.
