Abstract
According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus, to which devices are connected, includes a device information detector, a device setting module and an information storage module. The device information detector detects device information from the devices when the apparatus is booted at a first timing. The device setting module sets the devices to be ready to use using the information. The information storage module stores the information in a nonvolatile memory. The device setting module sets the devices to be ready to use using the information in the nonvolatile memory when the apparatus is booted at a second timing after the first timing.
Claims11
An information processing apparatus, to which devices are connected, comprising:
- a device information detector configured to detect a plurality of pieces of device information from the devices when the information processing apparatus is booted at a first timing, the plurality of pieces of device information being for setting the devices to be ready to use;
- a device setting module configured to set the devices to be ready to use using the plurality of pieces of device information;
- and
- a device information storage module configured to store the plurality of pieces of device information in a nonvolatile memory,
- wherein the device setting module is configured to set the devices to be ready to use using the plurality of pieces of device information in the nonvolatile memory when the information processing apparatus is booted at a second timing after the first timing.
A boot control method of controlling boot of an information processing apparatus, to which devices are connected, the method comprising:
- detecting a plurality of pieces of device information from the devices when the information processing apparatus is booted at a first timing, the plurality of pieces of device information being for setting the devices to be ready to use;
- setting the devices to be ready to use using the plurality of pieces of device information;
- and
- storing the plurality of pieces of device information in a nonvolatile memory,
- wherein the setting comprises setting the devices to be ready to use using the plurality of pieces of device information in the nonvolatile memory when the information processing apparatus is booted at a second timing after the first timing.
