Abstract
An example image formation device includes a memory to store a program, and a controller to, by executing the program, perform pre-processing for an application to be installed, acquire information on an amount of resources necessary for execution of the application, acquire information on an amount of available resources, determine whether installation of the application is possible based on the information on the amount of resources necessary to execute the application and the information on the amount of available resources, and install the application in the memory when it is determined that the application is installable.
Claims18
An image formation device comprising:
- a memory to store a program;
- and
- a controller to, by executing the program:
- organize resources of the memory,
- pre-install an application in the memory and prevent a user from selecting the application,
- execute the application,
- obtain information on an amount of resources necessary to execute the application based on a change in a resource usage according to the execution of the application,
- obtain information on an amount of available resources,
- determine whether installation of the application is possible based on the information on the amount of resources necessary to execute the application and the information on the amount of available resources, and
- complete the installation of the application in the memory and permit a user to select the application when it is determined that the installation of the application is possible,
- wherein the resources of the memory are organized before the pre-installation of the application and the execution of the application, and
- wherein the resource organization includes returning an unnecessary resource area which is not currently used or of which use is impossible among assigned resources.
An application installation method of an image formation device, the application installation method comprising:
- organizing resources of a memory of the image forming device,
- pre-installing an application in the memory and preventing a user from selecting the application;
- executing the application,
- obtaining information on an amount of resources necessary to execute the application based on a change in a resource usage according to the execution of the application;
- obtaining information on an amount of available resources;
- determining whether installation of the application is possible based on the information on the amount of resources necessary to execute the application and the information on the amount of available resources;
- and
- when it is determined that the installation of the application is possible, completing installation of the application and permitting the user to select the application,
- wherein the resources of the memory are organized before the pre-installing of the application and the executing of the application, and
- wherein the resource organization includes returning an unnecessary resource area which is not currently used or of which use is impossible among assigned resources.
