Claim Text:
1. A signal processing device, comprising: a general-purpose signal processor formed of a plurality of component-processors, each of the component-processors operates in parallel under a plurality of configurations of operating environments and a plurality of configurations of input/output connections of the plurality of component-processors associated with a plurality of software tasks, each of the component-processors operates independently from other component-processors; a management processor, based on a request for a job provided from a main processor, the management processor: wherein the input/output interface: wherein a type of each external peripheral device is recognized by the input/output interface, wherein each of the component-processors executes only an assigned type of a software task of the plurality of software tasks corresponding to an assigned external peripheral device until another demand for signal processing is received from the management processor, wherein the input/output interface is a crossbar that selectively connects the selected component-processors to each other based on input/output connections configured between the selected component-processors for performing the job, and wherein each of the component-processors, when the plurality of software tasks are simultaneously executed, executes the software task assigned to the respective component-processors, until another demand is given from the management processor.
