Patent ID: 8874959

Claim:
An information processing apparatus comprising: a mediating unit that accepts a signal transmitted from a central processing unit (CPU) to a target location, the target location being a module or device connected to the information processing apparatus via a mediating module, decodes the signal, and transmits the decoded signal to a log storing control unit and the mediating module mediating with the target location, the log storing control unit generating an access log indicating the target location and a content of an access made to the target location using the signal received from the mediating unit, and storing the access log in a first storage unit; a detecting unit that detects an occurrence of an error in the CPU; and a memory control unit that stores the access log stored in the first storage unit in a second storage unit in response to the occurrence of an error being detected, wherein the CPU and the mediating unit are connected via a bus, and the detecting unit detects occurrence of an error in the CPU when the bus is not de-asserted although a second predetermined time elapses since the bus is asserted to transmit the signal.
