The present invention aims to provide an access control apparatus that can improve responsiveness to an access request of a processor compared with a conventional technology.The access control apparatus, which receives access requests from one or more regular masters and a irregular master and sequentially selects an access allowable target, calculates an amount of unused resources based on an amount of resources used by a regular master which makes an access request during a unit period and a maximum amount of resources to be used given to the regular master and manages it. The access control apparatus selects an access request of the irregular master as an access allowable target when the irregular master makes the access request during the unit period and an access based on the access request of at least one of the regular masters has not been executed, and a total of the managed amount of unused resources is equal to or larger than an amount of resources which is to be used based on the access request of the irregular master.

An editor application receives a selection of content made with a selection tool such as a computer mouse. The editor application monitors one or more motion attributes (e.g., direction, speed, etc.) associated with the selection tool during the selection of content. During a respective operation (e.g., pasting) of the selected content, the editor application takes into account the one or more motion attributes associated with the selection tool when initiating a paste function with respect to the selected content. That is, the one or more motion attributes observed during the selection of content dictate (at least in part) how editor application will use the selected content. For example, a user can select text from right-to-left. During a respective copy and paste operation, because the text was selected in reverse order, the editor application reverses an ordering of how the characters appear in the pasted text.

A display ON sequence for preventing problems in a display at the starting time of a liquid crystal display device is prevented from having malfunctions, which might otherwise be caused in a scanning line drive circuit by applying a voltage to scanning signal lines. In the display ON sequence at the starting time of the liquid crystal display device of an active matrix type, all the scanning signal lines of a liquid crystal panel are brought into a selected state thereby to release the electric charges in the liquid crystal capacity and the auxiliary capacity in each pixel forming portion through data signal lines. After this, the scanning signal lines are stepwise brought into an unselected state by dividing them several times, before their sequential selections (or scans) for the display are started. Thus, the electric current to flow through the bulk of the scanning signal line drive circuit is made lower than that of the prior art, in which the scanning signal lines were simultaneously brought into the unselected state.
