Information processing apparatus and method, recording medium, and program

An information processing method for an information processing apparatus having a plurality of control blocks and a plurality of storage blocks, and a main control block, which is one of said plurality of control blocks, controlling the other of said plurality of control blocks to store software from a recording medium into said plurality of storage blocks, said information processing method comprising:

• a request step for requesting said main control block for said software;
• an acquisition control step for controlling the acquisition of said software supplied in response to a request by said request step;
• and
• a storage control step for storing said software of which acquisition is controlled by said acquisition control step, by controlling said plurality of storage blocks on the basis of an instruction supplied from said main control block.

A recording medium recording a computer-readable program for an information processing apparatus having a plurality of control blocks and a plurality of storage blocks, and a main control block, which is one of said plurality of control blocks, controlling the other of said plurality of control blocks to store software from a recording medium into said plurality of storage blocks, said computer-readable program comprising:

• a request step for requesting said main control block for said software;
• an acquisition control step for controlling the acquisition of said software supplied in response to a request by said request step;
• and
• a storage control step for storing said software of which acquisition is controlled by said acquisition control step, by controlling said plurality of storage blocks on the basis of an instruction supplied from said main control block.

A program executable by a computer for controlling an information processing apparatus having a plurality of control blocks and a plurality of storage blocks, and a main control block, which is one of said plurality of control blocks, controlling the other of said plurality of control blocks to store software from a recording medium into said plurality of storage blocks, said program comprising:

• a request step for requesting said main control block for said software;
• an acquisition control step for controlling the acquisition of said software supplied in response to a request by said request step;
• and
• a storage control step for storing said software of which acquisition is controlled by said acquisition control step, by controlling said plurality of storage blocks on the basis of an instruction supplied from said main control block.
