ABSTRACT:
A graphic memory is space-divided into a first area and a second area. In the first area, a task corresponding to a predetermined application is executed regardless of which task is processed by a main processor. A switchable area is divided in time so that data related to tasks corresponding to a plurality of applications is sequentially stored in the switchable area in accordance with task switching in the main processor.
