An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire process information about a substrate process, the process information including process data and a process condition, and a display control unit configured to control a display on a display apparatus based on the process information acquired by the acquisition unit, wherein the display control unit selectively displays, on the display apparatus, a first screen that displays the process data of a lot including a plurality of substrates on a lot-by-lot basis and a second screen that displays the process data of a first lot on a substrate-by-substrate basis, the first lot being a lot designated by a user from the lot displayed on the first screen.

The present invention provides a technology for invoking a non-periodic-execution function module from a periodic-execution control program. A control system that comprises first and second control parts (C1, C2) and a storage device that stores control programs (210, 211) for a controller. The control programs (210, 211) include a periodic-execution function module (55B) that invokes a non-periodic-execution function module (55A). The first control part (C1) reflects the value of an input variable for the periodic-execution function module (55B) in an argument for the non-periodic-execution function module (55A) and outputs an execution start command for the function modules to the second control part (C2). The second control part (C2) outputs a return value for the non-periodic-execution function module (55A) to the first control part (C1). The first control part (C1) reflects the return value in an output variable for the periodic-execution function module (55B).

A control device relates to a vehicle having an automatically opening and/or automatically closing lid with at least one control switch in the vicinity of the lid and with a programmable electronic control unit. The control switch may be operated arbitrarily contactlessly in the form of a proximity sensor and when operated generates an operation request signal which is an input signal to the control unit. The control unit is configured in such a manner that defined environmental conditions may be evaluated for the detection of a risk of salinity and humidity and that, given the presence of a risk of salt and water, an appropriate adaptation may be made to the evaluation of the operation request signal. Preferably, at least one outside temperature below a predefined threshold and information indicating the presence of moisture are defined as the environmental conditions to be evaluated for detecting the risk of salt and water.
