PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate the constitution management and revision of a function program and to shorten the start time by performing an initial process in a process based upon a start program according to initial process information regarding the initial process needed to perform the process based upon the function program. SOLUTION: At a network terminal 10, a code is described at the head position of a communication program so as to specify hardware used by a process based upon the communication program 34 executed after a boot program 32. The boot program 32 reads out the code described at the head position in this communication program 34, decides the hardware which needs to be checked and initialized according to the read code, and perform processes for checking and initializing the hardware. Consequently, unused hardware is neither checked nor initialized to shorten the execution time of processes based upon the boot program 32. |
