ABSTRACT:
A so-called "softly broken apparatus" by constructing a self-repair apparatus based on functional redundancy. An apparatus is represented in a form including a function using an FBS diagram (a diagram comprising functions, behaviors and states). When a fault occurs, a function lost is retrieved by the FBS diagram, and a functional part capable of developing the lost function by a potential function is detected. The potential function of the functional part is developed, thereby to recover the lost function. Specifically, when a fault occurs in an apparatus, a lost function is recovered by utilizing a part which originally exists in the apparatus by utilizing the existing part as a substitute for the part which fails.
