摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To safely and reliably perform operation of a setting value of an application that cannot be stopped.SOLUTION: When an application for which operation of a setting value is requested can be stopped, a setting value operation service 607 of a multifunction machine stores a requested operation content (setting information 500) in a temporary area of an HDD/flash memory 304. The service also stores an execution command file 900 for executing the requested operation at the time of restart of the multifunction machine in the HDD/flash memory 304 and reserves operation execution after the restart. When the multifunction machine is restarted, an application management unit 604 changes the start-up order of programs in accordance with the execution command file 900 so that the setting value operation service 607 starts up prior to the operation target application and starts up the programs in the changed start-up order. The setting value operation service 607 after the restart then performs operation of the setting value of the operation target application in accordance with the setting information 500 in start-up processing.
