Electronic devices, restart methods, and programs

Abstract

This invention provides an electronic device, a restart method, and a program that can suppress unnecessary forced shutdowns. [Solution] The electronic device 10 includes a detection unit 11 that detects the presence or absence of a frozen application program in response to an operation relating to a system control program for executing a predetermined process of the system, and a restart unit 12 that restarts all application programs, including the frozen application program, based on the detection result of the detection unit before the predetermined process of the system is executed by the operation.

Claims

1. A detection unit that detects whether or not an application program is frozen in response to an operation on a system control program for executing a predetermined process of the system, Before the predetermined processing of the system is executed by the above operation, a restart unit restarts all application programs, including the frozen application program, based on the detection result of the detection unit. Electronic devices equipped with them.

2. The aforementioned operation is an operation related to a forced power-down, The predetermined process of the aforementioned system is a forced power-down. The electronic device according to claim 1.

3. The restart unit restarts the application programs in order from the application program with the highest startup priority, based on the startup priority predetermined for each application program. The electronic device according to claim 1 or 2.

4. If there are application programs with the same startup priority, those application programs with the same startup priority will be restarted in parallel. The electronic device according to claim 3.

5. The detection unit, in response to the operation related to the forced power-down, checks for a response from all predetermined application programs, and detects that there is a frozen application program if there is no response from at least one application program. The electronic device according to claim 2.

6. The restart unit records the time the detection unit detected the frozen application program, and the name of the frozen application program. The electronic device according to claim 5.

7. The aforementioned operation related to forced power-down is a predetermined action using the power button. The electronic device according to claim 2.

8. The aforementioned predetermined action is the action of pressing the power button for a predetermined amount of time. The electronic device according to claim 7.

9. In response to operations on the system control program for executing predetermined processes of the system, the presence or absence of a frozen application program is detected. Before the predetermined processing of the system is executed by the above operation, all application programs, including the frozen application program, are restarted based on the detection result. The computer performs the process. How to restart.

10. In response to operations on the system control program for executing predetermined processes of the system, the presence or absence of a frozen application program is detected. Before the predetermined processing of the system is executed by the above operation, all application programs, including the frozen application program, are restarted based on the detection result. To have the computer perform the process. program.
