Abstract
In an image forming device, a hardware performs operations to image data. An image memory handler performs allocation of a memory to software execution entities which execute the operations, and performs execution control of the software execution entities. A processing part manages as queues operation specifications to respective functions of the hardware demanded from the software execution entities, and performs execution control of the operation specifications independently of the image memory handler.
Claims18
An image forming device comprising:
- a hardware performing operations to image data;
- an image memory handler performing allocation of a memory to software execution entities which execute the operations, and performing execution control of the software execution entities;
- and
- a processing part managing as queues operation specifications to respective functions of the hardware demanded from the software execution entities, and performing execution control of the operation specifications independently of the image memory handler.
A hardware control method for use in an image forming device comprising a hardware performing operations to image data, and an image memory handler performing allocation of a memory to software execution entities which execute the operations, and performing execution control of the software execution entities, the hardware control method comprising:
- managing as queues operation specifications to respective functions of the hardware demanded from the software execution entities;
- and
- performing execution control of the operation specifications independently of the image memory handler.
