Abstract:
1. An apparatus for processing information comprising: a storage configured to store a plurality of profiles, including data for setting a system environment, an inputter configured to input a changeover instruction of a profile, and a continuation time of the profile, by a user, a profile changer configured to read the profile from the storage, and to set the system environment by using the read profile according to the profile changeover instruction, and a timer configured to count a time from the setting of the system environment by the profile changer, wherein the profile changer reads a default profile, which is a profile preliminarily determined as a profile for resetting, from the storage, when the time has reached the continuation time of the profile received through the inputter, and sets the system environment anew by using the read default profile, wherein, before the time reaches the continuation time of the profile received through the inputter, when the inputter receives a changeover instruction of a new profile, and a continuation time of the new profile, the profile changer reads the new profile from the storage on the basis of the changeover instruction of the new profile, and changes and sets the system environment by using the new profile, and the timer starts counting a second time after being changed to the new profile by the profile changer and before the time reaches the continuation time of the profile received through the inputter, and when the second time reaches the continuation time of the new profile received through the inputter, the profile changer reads the profile before the new profile from the storage, and sets the system environment anew by using the profile before the new profile, wherein it is determined whether or not the time reaches the continuation time of the profile received through the inputter, and when it is determined that the time has not reached the continuation time of the profile, and the inputter receives the changeover instruction of the new profile, the profile changer reads the new profile from the storage on the basis of the changeover instruction of the new profile.
