Abstract
An electronic device includes a memory, a mode configuration management portion, a panel portion, and a memory management portion. The mode configuration management portion configures a plurality of allocation modes for allocating a plurality of areas to the memory. The panel portion displays a mode selection screen for selecting one of the allocation modes. The memory management portion allocates the plurality of areas to the memory based on the selected one of the allocation modes. The mode configuration management portion manages a plurality of recommended modes. The memory management portion sets sizes of an input portion and an output portion of the respective areas according to the recommended mode selected by the mode configuration management portion.
Claims4
An electronic device comprising:
- a memory;
- a mode configuration management portion which configures a plurality of allocation modes for allocating a plurality of areas to the memory;
- a panel portion which displays a mode selection screen for selecting one of the plurality of allocation modes;
- and
- a memory management portion which allocates the plurality of areas to the memory based on one of the allocation modes selected on the mode selection screen,
- wherein
- the plurality of areas are used for different functions respectively,
- the memory management portion, after allocating the plurality of areas to the memory based on one of the allocation modes selected on the mode selection screen, acquires free-space wait times for the respective areas,
- the mode configuration management portion manages a plurality of recommended modes which set sizes of an input portion and an output portion of the respective areas allocated to the memory according to average free-space wait times and selects one of the recommended modes for the respective areas based on the average free-space wait times calculated from the free-space wait times acquired by the memory management portion, and
- the memory management portion sets the sizes of the input portion and the output portion of the respective areas according to the recommended mode selected by the mode configuration management portion.
A method for controlling a memory in an electronic device, comprising:
- configuring, by a mode configuration management portion, a plurality of allocation modes indicating allocation of a plurality of areas in the memory,
- displaying, by a panel portion, a mode selection screen for selecting one of the plurality of allocation modes, and
- allocating, by a memory management portion, the plurality of areas to the memory based on one of the allocation modes selected on the mode selection screen,
- wherein
- the plurality of areas are used for different functions respectively,
- the memory management portion, after allocating the plurality of areas to the memory based on one of the allocation modes selected on the mode selection screen, acquires free-space wait times for the respective areas,
- the mode configuration management portion manages a plurality of recommended modes which set sizes of an input portion and an output portion of the respective areas allocated to the memory according to average free-space wait times and selects one of the recommended modes for the respective areas based on the average free-space wait times calculated from the free-space wait times acquired by the memory management portion, and
- the memory management portion sets the sizes of the input portion and the output portion of the respective areas according to the recommended mode selected by the mode configuration management portion.
