ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is an information-processing apparatus which includes: a computer; an execution-state holding unit configured to hold an execution state of a program executed by the computer; and a return-point setting unit configured to set an execution point of the program, which is to be restored after activation of the information-processing apparatus, prior to the activation. The apparatus further includes an execution-state saving unit configured to save an execution state, which is held by the execution-state holding unit as a program execution state at an execution point set by the return-point setting unit as the execution point of the program to be restored after the activation, prior to the activation; and an execution-state transfer unit configured to transfer the execution state saved by the execution-state saving unit to the execution-state holding unit at an activation time.
