With reference to Fig. 6, QAM demodulation section 501 usefulness comprise the tuning information by the CPU514 specified frequency, and the signal that headend 101 has been carried out QAM modulation and transmission carries out demodulation, hands to POD504.
POD504 forms the mode that can carry out dismounting from end device body 500 as shown in Figure 7.As the example of POD504, the card that carries out descrambling etc. that is called as CableCard (TM) is arranged.The connecting interface of terminal body 500 and POD504 defines by OpenCable (TM) HOST-POD Interface Specification (OC-SP-HOSTPOD-IF-I12-03021O) and with reference to the specifications of these specifications.Here, omit its details, only the explanation part relevant with the present invention.
Fig. 8 is the block scheme of the inner structure of expression POD504.POD504 is made of first descrambling (descrambler) portion 701, the second descrambling portion 702, scramble (scrambler) portion 703, first storage part 704, second storage part 705, CPU706.
The first descrambling portion 701 receives the signal of being encrypted by the QAM demodulation section 501 of end device 500, and is decrypted according to the indication from CPU706.Then, the signal of deciphering is sent to the TS demoder 505 of end device 500.Information such as key necessary in the decoding are suitably provided by CPU706.Specifically, headend 101 is broadcasted several charging channels.If the user buys this charging channel, then the first descrambling portion 701 is by receiving descrambling to the necessary informations such as key from CPU706, and the user can browse charging channel.When the information of necessity such as key was not provided, the first descrambling portion 701 did not carry out descrambling, and the signal former state that receives is sent to TS demoder 505.
The second descrambling portion 702 receives the signal of being encrypted by the QPSK demodulation section 502 of end device 500, and is decrypted according to the indication from CPU706.Then, decrypted data is handed to CPU706.
CPU706 carries out second storage part, 705 program stored.Program is made of a plurality of subroutines.Fig. 9 is an example of second storage part, 705 program stored.In Fig. 9, program 800 is made of a plurality of subroutines such as master routine 801, initialization subroutine 802, network sub program 803, reproduction subroutine 804, PPV subroutines 805.
Here, PPV is the simple of Pay Per View, is the service that can watch specific programs such as image with charge method.If the user inputs password, then head-end device 101 notices are bought, and scramble is disengaged, and can watch.Because this watching, the user pays the expense of buying in the future.
In addition, initialization subroutine 802 passes through the second frequency of second storage part, 705 storages the CPU514 notice QPSK modulation portion 503 of end device 500.Initialization subroutine 802 offers scramble portion 703 with the enciphered message of second storage part, 705 storages.If the information that initialization subroutine 802 will send offers scramble portion 703 by network sub program 803, then the enciphered message that provides is provided in scramble portion 703, and data are encrypted, and offers the QPSK modulation portion 503 of end device 500.The information of 503 pairs of encryptions that provide of QPSK modulation portion is modulated, and sends to headend 101.
Its result, initialization subroutine 802 can carry out two-way communication with headend 101 by end device 500, the second descrambling portion 702, scramble portion 703, network sub program 803.
The subroutine of carrying out two-way communication with headend 101 is used, is used for to network sub program 803 by a plurality of subroutines such as master routine 801, initialization subroutine 802.Specifically, work for other subroutines of using network sub program 803, so that carry out two-way communication by TCP/IP and headend 101.TCP/IP is given for the known technology that carries out the agreement of message exchange between multiple arrangement, omits detailed explanation here.Network sub program 803 subroutine 802 starting that when power connection, is initialised, by end device 500 head-end devices 101 notice MAC Address (Media Access Control address simple), this address is the identifier of the POD504 that stores in advance of identification second storage part 705, and request obtains the IP address.To POD504 notice IP address, network sub program 803 is stored in the IP address in first storage part 704 headend 101 by end device 500.After, headend 101 and POD504 use this IP address as the identifier of POD504, communicate.
Reproduce subroutine 804 decryption informations such as the 3rd key that decryption information such as second key of second storage part, 705 storages and end device 500 provide are offered the first descrambling portion 701, can carry out descrambling.In addition, by network sub program 803, the signal that receives the first descrambling portion 701 that is input to is the information of PPV channel.When knowing the PPV channel, starting PPV subroutine 805.
If starting PPV subroutine 805 then shows the message of urging program to be bought to end device 500, receive user's input.Specifically, if transmit the information of wanting to be presented on the picture, then display message on the display 509 of the program of moving on the CPU514 of end device 500 at end device 500 to the CPU514 of end device 500.If the user is by the input part 513 input passwords of end device 500, then the CPU514 of end device 500 receives this password, the PPV subroutine 805 that notice is moved on the CPU706 of POD504.PPV subroutine 805 sends to headend 101 with the password that receives by network sub program 803.If password is correct, then headend 101 will be deciphered required decryption informations such as the 4th key by network sub program 803 notice PPV subroutines 805.The signal that the decryption informations such as the 4th key that PPV subroutine 805 will receive offer 701 pairs of inputs of 701, the first descrambling portions of the first descrambling portion carries out descrambling.

At last, the AM1205b of service manager 1204 in java applet storehouse 1205 provides the identifier of channel, request for data broadcast reproduction.Here, data broadcast playback is to extract the java applet that comprises in the MPEG2 transport stream, is carried out by JavaVM1203.The method of imbedding java applet in the MPEG2 transport stream adopts the DSMCC mode of describing among the MPEG specifications ISO/IEC13818-6.Here, omit the specification specified of DSMCC.The DSMCC mode is in the bag of MPEG2 transport stream, and regulation is carried out Methods for Coding to the file system that catalogue and file by the computing machine use constitute.In addition, the information of the java applet of execution is the form that is called as AIT, is embedded in the bag of MPEG2 transport stream to be sent out.AIT defines in the 10th chapter of DVB-MHP specification (formally say, be ETSI TS 101 812DVB-MHP specification V1.0.2), is the simple of Application InformationTable.
AM1205b is at first in order to obtain AIT, and is same with JMF1205a, obtains PAT, PMT, the bag ID of the bag that acquisition AIT is saved.If the identifier of the channel that provides is ' 2 ', the PAT of Figure 17, the PMT of Figure 18 are sent out, and then by the process same with JMF1205a, obtain the PMT of Figure 18.AM1205b extracts bag ID information as a supplement with traffic category for ' data ' from the elementary streams with ' AIT ' from PMT.With reference to Figure 18, the elementary streams of row 1713 is fit to, and obtains bag ID ' 5013 '.
AM1205b provides bag ID and the output destination CPU514 of AIT to TS demoder 505 by the routine library 1201b of OS1201.TS demoder 505 carries out filtering by the bag ID that provides, and hands to CPU514.Its result, AM1205b can collect the bag of AIT.Figure 19 is the table of information one example of the AIT that collects of pattern ground expression.Row 1801 are identifiers of java applet.Row 1802 are control informations of java applet.' autostart ', ' present ', ' kill ' etc. are arranged in control information, and ' autostart ' means that end device 500 automatically carries out this program immediately, and ' present ' means and do not automatically perform, and ' kill ' means program is stopped.Row 1803 are to be used to extract the DSMCC identifier that comprises the bag ID of java applet by the DSMCC mode.Row 1804 are program names of java applet.Row 1811 and 1812 is message block of java applet.The java applet of row 1811 definition is groups of identifier ' 301 ', control information ' autostart ', DSMCC identifier ' 1 ', program name ' a/TopXlet '.The java applet of row 1812 definition is groups of identifier ' 302 ', control information ' present ', DSMCC identifier ' 1 ', program name ' b/GameXlet '.Here, two java applets have identical DSMCC identifier, and this is illustrated in and comprises two java applets in the file system of encoding by a DSMCC mode.Here, for java applet, only stipulate four information, but in fact defined more information.Details please refer to the DVB-MHP specification.
AM1205b finds out the java applet of ' autostart ' from AIT, extract corresponding DSMCC identifier and java applet name.With reference to Figure 19, AM1205b extracts the java applet of row 1811, obtains DSMCC identifier ' 1 ' and java applet name ' a/TopXlet '.
Then, AM1205b uses the DSMCC identifier that obtains from AIT, obtains to preserve in the DSMCC mode bag ID of the bag of java applet from PMT.Specifically, in PMT, be ' data ' with traffic category, obtain the bag ID of the elementary streams consistent with the DSMCC identifier of side information.
If the DSMCC identifier is ' 1 ', PMT is Figure 18, and then the elementary streams with row 1714 is consistent, takes out bag ID ' 5014 '
The routine library 1201b of AM1205b by OS1201 to TS demoder 505 specify by the DSMCC mode imbedded data bag bag ID and as the CPU514 of output destination.Here, provide bag ID ' 5014 '.TS demoder 505 carries out filtering by the bag ID that provides, and hands to CPU514.Its result, AM1205b can collect necessary bag.AM1205b according to DSMCC mode reflex original file system, is kept in storage part 511 from the bag of collecting.To from the bag the MPEG2 transport stream, take out the data of file system etc. later on and be kept at the process in the memory units such as storage part 511 and be called download.
Figure 20 is an example of downloaded files system.Among the figure, circle is represented catalogue, square expression file, the 1901st, root directory, the 1902nd, catalogue ' a ', the 1903rd, catalogue ' b ', the 1904th, file ' TopXlet.class ', the 1905th, file ' GameXlet.class '.
Then, AM1205b delivers the java applet of execution to JavaVM1203 from the file system that is loaded in a storage part 511 down.If the java applet of carrying out ' a/TopXlet ' by name, then the last file ' TopXlet.class ' that adds ' .class ' in the java applet name becomes the file that will carry out.'/' is the separator of catalogue and filename, and with reference to Figure 20, file 1904 is the java applets that will carry out.Then, AM1205b hands to JavaVM1203 with file 1904.
JavaVM1203 carries out the java applet of delivering.
If service manager 1204 receives the identifier of other channels, then stop the video/sound to reproduce by each routine library that comprises in the java applet storehouse 1205 and the execution of java applet by each routine library that comprises in the identical Java routine library 1205, according to the identifier of the channel of new reception, carry out the reproduction and the java applet of video/sound.
Below, download, the preservation as the java applet of major function of the present invention is described and carries out function.
Figure 21 is the table that information one example of the XAIT that end-apparatus 101 is from the beginning obtained is represented on pattern ground.Row 2001 are identifiers of java applet.Row 2002 are control informations of java applet.' autoselect ', ' present ' etc. are arranged in control information, and ' autoselect ' means that end device 500 automatically carries out this program when energized, and ' present ' means and be not to automatically perform.Row 2003 are to be used to extract the DSMCC identifier that comprises the bag ID of java applet by the DSMCC mode.Row 2004 are program names of java applet.Row 2005 are the priority of java applet.Row 2011 and 2012 is message block of java applet.The java applet of row 2011 definition is groups of identifier ' 701 ', control information ' autoselect ', DSMCC identifier ' 1 ', program name ' a/PPV1Xlet '.Here,, only stipulate five information, even but the definition more information also can be implemented the present invention for java applet.
If service manager 1204 receives the XAIT information, then by and from AIT information, download the identical process of java applet, from the MPEG2 transport stream, file system is kept in storage part 511.Then, the file system of preserving is replicated in the secondary storage part 510.Have again, or not also can not be directly downloaded in the secondary storage part 510 by a storage part 511.Then, service manager 1204 is mapped the preservation position of XAIT information and downloaded files system and is kept in the secondary storage part 510.Figure 22 represents that secondary storage part 510 is with the corresponding example of preserving of XAIT information and downloaded files system.In Figure 22, identical with element and Figure 21 of Figure 21 duplicate numbers, so omit explanation.Row 2101 are preserved the preservation position of the file system of corresponding download.Among the figure, represent to preserve the position with arrow.The 2110th, the downloaded files system keeps top-level director 2111, catalogue ' a ' 2112, catalogue ' b ' 2113, file ' PPV1Xlet.class ' 2114, file ' PPV2Xlet.class ' 2115 in inside.
Here, XAIT information is preserved after preserving java applet, but also can preserve before preserving java applet.
After end device 500 energized, OS1201 is assigned to JavaVM1203 with service manager 1204, and behind JavaVM1203 starting service manager 1204, service manager 1204 is at first with reference to the XAIT information of preserving in the secondary storage part 510.Here,, the program of ' autoselect ' is handed to JavaVM1203 with reference to the control information of each java applet, and starting.With reference to Figure 22, the java applet ' PPV1Xlet ' of row 2011 definition is started.
Here, establishing java applet ' PPV1Xlet ' is the PPV subroutine 805 that has corresponding to POD504 inside, the program of the programme information of expression PPV object.In end device 500, when not having java applet ' PPV1Xlet ', if PPV subroutine 805 transmits the information that will show to the CPU514 of end device 500 on picture, then the dialogue display routine that comprises among the routine library 1201b of OS1201 shows the message of urging program to be bought shown in Figure 23 on display 509.The 2201st, dialog box has the display unit of the password box 2203 that is used to input message 2202, four passwords, OK button 2204, cancel button 2205.But, in this shows,, need the user to wait the inconvenience of confirming programme content with reference to program guide so have because programme content is unclear.
If preserve java applet ' PPV1Xlet ' in the end device 500, with its starting, then Java program ' PPV1Xlet ' in the POD in java applet storehouse 1205 Lib1205e with self as registering from the java applet of POD504 reference.When registration, the identifier of the java applet of self, action classification, priority is registration simultaneously also.POD Lib1205e with the registration content stores in secondary storage part 510.Figure 24 is that secondary storage part 510 preserves can be from an example of the state of the information of the java applet of the POD504 reference of registration.In this embodiment, preserve the identifier of row 2301 storage java applets, the action classification of row 2302 storage java applets, the priority of row 2303 storage java applets, the name of row 2304 storage java applets with sheet form.Here, the action classification of java applet has ' 1 ' and ' 2 ' two values shown in Figure 25, and value ' 1 ' expression can not be carried out the program that comprises among the routine library 1201b of the java applet of registration and java applet that is registered in addition and OS1201 simultaneously.Value ' 2 ' expression can be carried out the program that comprises among the routine library 1201b of the java applet of registration and java applet that is registered in addition and OS1201 simultaneously.With reference to Figure 24, the java applet of row 2311～2312 expression registrations.Row 2311 is the group of the name ' PPV1Xlet ' of identifier ' PPV ', action classification ' 2 ', priority ' 200 ', java applet.
POD Lib1205e can carry out the transmission reception of data to the information that POD504 notifies registered java applet between subroutine in POD504 and registered java applet.For example, the PPV subroutine 805 in the POD504 transmits the programme content that PPV buys object to the registered java applet shown in the row 2311 of Figure 24, and java applet can show on display 509 as shown in Figure 26.With the element of Figure 23 duplicate numbers be and Figure 23 components identical, so omit explanation.The 2501st, the programme information that registered java applet shows.Here, carry out dialogue display routine and the registered java applet of the routine library 1201b of OS1201 simultaneously.At this moment, POD504 discerns the other side's who transmits data java applet with reference to the classification of registered java applet.
On the other hand, dialogue display routine and the registered java applet of the routine library 1201b of OS1201 are developed respectively, and as a result of, 2201 and 2501 may be repeated to show.For fear of it, the dialogue display routine of the routine library 1201b of OS1201 is stopped.Specifically, functions such as that java applet all has is that the dialogue display routine of the routine library 1201b of OS1201 will carry out, password input, and, by ' 1 ' registration of action classification.Figure 27 is the example that registered java applet is in this case accepted indication and shown at display 509 from the PPV subroutine of POD504.
Here, as shown in Figure 28, establish secondary storage part 510 and preserve registered java applet.In this embodiment, two java applets have identical identifier ' PPV ', and action classification can not and be deposited ' 1 ' time.Under such situation, POD Lib1205e only makes the high java applet action of priority.Perhaps, both sides are moved, but will only distribute to the high java applet of priority from the message of POD504.
Figure 29, Figure 30 are the process flow diagrams that is summarised in the action of the POD Lib1205e under the situation of registering java applet among the POD Lib1205e.POD Lib1205e accepts the registration (step S2801) of java applet.The information of accepting is kept at (step S2802) in the secondary storage part 510.Compare being registered in the java applet in the secondary storage part 510 and the identifier of the java applet accepted, judge whether the java applet of same identifier is a plurality of (step S2803).Under the situation of the java applet that same identifier is arranged, proceed to the step S2901 of Figure 30.Under the situation of the java applet that does not have same identifier, also whether the action classification of the java applet that investigation is accepted counter foil capable (step S2804).Can not situation under, stop from POD504 the message of the routine library 1201b of OS1201 dispensing (step S2805).Then, make message dispensing effective (step S2806) from POD504 to the java applet of accepting, and the ends log-in reason.In step S2803, under the situation of the java applet that same identifier is arranged, investigate a plurality of same identifier java applet action classification whether can and counter foil capable (step S2901).Under the situation that the java applet that also counter foil is capable is arranged, the priority of the java applet of relatively accepting and the priority of original java applet (step S2902).When the priority of the java applet of accepting is the highest, stop the message dispensing (step S2903) to original java applet from POD504, make the message dispensing of the java applet accepted from POD504 effectively (step S2904).In step S2901, under the action classification situation that all also counter foil is capable of all java applets, proceed to step S2904.In step S2902, the priority of the java applet of accepting is not that original java applet continues to accept message under the highest situation, so direct end process.
Figure 31, Figure 32, Figure 33 be expression according to the process flow diagram of this action, the mode chart that changes from the dispensing destination of the message of POD504.The state that Figure 31 (1) expression java applet is not registered is provided and delivered all message to the routine library 1201b of OS1201 from POD504.Arrow 3001 expression message dispensings.Under the state of Figure 31 (1), if java applet is registered, then under the action classification of registered java applet can coacting situation, with reference to the process flow diagram of Figure 29, carry out the processing of step S2801, S2802, S2803, S2804, S2806, become the state of Figure 31 (2).Here, the 3011st, registered java applet, arrow 3002 be new settings from POD504 flowing to the message of java applet 3011.Strictly speaking, between POD504 and java applet, insert CPU514 and POD Lib1205e.Under the action classification of registered java applet can not coacting situation, with reference to the process flow diagram of Figure 29, carry out the processing of step S2801, S2802, S2803, S2804, S2805, S2806, become the state of Figure 31 (3).Stop arrow 3001 expression from POD504 to the flowing of the message of routine library 1201b, set again from the dispensing of POD504 to the message of java applet 3011.
Figure 32 (1) expression java applet is registered one, from POD504 all message is provided and delivered to the state of the java applet 3111 of the routine library 1201b of 0S1201 and registration.Arrow 3101 and 3102 expression message dispensings.Under the state of Figure 32 (1), if java applet is registered, then under the action classification of registered java applet can coacting situation, with reference to the process flow diagram of Figure 29, Figure 30, carry out the processing of step S2801, S2802, S2803, S2901, S2904, become the state of Figure 32 (2).Here, the 3112nd, registered java applet, arrow 3103 expression new settings from the dispensing of POD504 to the message of java applet 3112.
Figure 33 (1) expression java applet is registered one, from POD504 all message is provided and delivered to the state of the java applet 3211 that is registered.Java applet 3211 because of action classification can not and counter foil is capable becomes such state.Arrow 3201 expression message dispensings.Under the state of Figure 32 (1),, then can and deposit under the situation of action the priority of more original java applet 3211 and registered java applet at the action classification of registered java applet if java applet is registered.Under the high situation of the priority of registered java applet, with reference to the process flow diagram of Figure 29, Figure 30, carry out the processing of step S2801, S2802, S2803, S2901, S2902, S2903, S2904, become the state of Figure 32 (2).Stop arrow 3201 expression from the dispensing of POD504 to the message of java applet, reset the dispensing to the message of java applet 3211 from POD504.Under the high situation of the priority of original java applet 3211, with reference to the process flow diagram of Figure 29, Figure 30, carry out the processing of step S2801, S2802, S2803, S2901, S2902, become the state of Figure 32 (3).The dispensing of message does not change.
Have again, under the situation that the priority of the limit priority of original java applet and the java applet of accepting equates in step S2902, in step S2903, write control, so that the java applet of accepting, so that receive message.This means under the equal situation of the priority of a plurality of java applets, can consider to select one arbitrarily.
Perhaps, carry out a plurality of java applets, transmit identical message to a plurality of java applets.In this case, a plurality of java applets are installed wittingly,, understood mutual action, even action does not have problems simultaneously yet to produce equal priority and identifier.Figure 34 is the example that a plurality of java applets have same identifier and priority situation.Here, from the information of POD504 to programme transmission content and expense.The java applet of row 3311 carries out the expense demonstration and accepts the password input, and the java applet of row 3312 can implement only to carry out the demonstration of programme content.
POD Lib1205e accepts the registration of java applet, also accepts elimination simultaneously.Figure 35, Figure 36 gather the process flow diagram that POD Lib1205e eliminates the action of the POD Lib1205e under the situation of registration of java applet.POD Lib1205e accepts the elimination (step S3401) of java applet.The java applet that elimination is accepted from secondary storage part 510 (step S3402).Whether the java applet that investigation will be eliminated is current accepts message (step S3403) from POD504, if accept, then makes the message dispensing invalid (step S3404) to the java applet of accepting from POD504.The java applet (step S3405) whether same identifier is arranged in the investigation secondary storage part 501 if having, then makes the message dispensing effective (step S3406) to the routine library 1201b of OS1201 from POD504.In step S3403, if the java applet of eliminating does not receive message, then end process from POD504.In step S3405, when the java applet of the java applet same identifier that has and will eliminate,, investigate whether also counter foil capable (step S3501) of all java applets with reference to Figure 36.All java applets that can and deposit that identifier is equated reach the message dispensing effective (step S3502) from POD504 to the routine library 1201b of OS1201.At all java applets and counter foil when not capable, do not extract java applet (step S3503) with limit priority.Make message dispensing effective (step S3504) from POD504 to the java applet that extracts.
As described above, according to present embodiment, by not eliminating original program, the interim replacement, carried out the program of downloading, and can carry out the renewal of program thus, can easily turn back to original program simultaneously.In addition, by downloading save routine,, thereby can append the function that does not have in original program so that can carry out simultaneously with original program.
Have again, in the present embodiment, PPV subroutine 805 and java applet in the POD504 carry out message, the action of going forward side by side is done, but be not limited to PPV, even, also can both adapt to between any subroutine on the POD504 and any java applet on the end device 500, carrying out message, moving.In addition, java applet also can mix the part of the binary mode that can directly carry out by the part of Java description and CPU, even only the binary mode that can directly be carried out by CPU constitutes, also can implement.
In the present embodiment, preserve the content that ROM512 preserves, can implement to eliminate ROM512 by secondary storage part 510.In addition, secondary storage part 510 is made of a plurality of sub-secondary storage parts, even each sub-secondary storage part is preserved different information, also can implement.For example, a sub-secondary storage part is only preserved tuning information, and another sub-secondary storage part is preserved the routine library 1201b of OS1201, and another sub-secondary storage part is preserved the java applet of download etc., can at length cut apart.
In embodiment 1, if java applet is registered, then registered java applet stops message communicating with POD504 suddenly in the routine library 1201b of OS1201 and the secondary storage part 510.For example, buy processing midway,, then buy processing and be interrupted, the possibility until the password useless of importing is midway arranged if java applet is registered at user PPV.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, routine library 1201b and the original java applet of the OS1201 that is stopped for message communicating are notified in advance, stop after obtaining to understand.Specifically, with the step S2903 that stops message dispensing, Figure 30 of the step S2805 of Figure 29 of the process flow diagram of the action of expression in the embodiment 1 to routine library 1201b stop the message dispensing of original java applet is replaced into the process flow diagram of describing among Figure 34.
With reference to Figure 37, POD Lib1205e for message send the object be stopped, specifically for the routine library 1201b of java applet and OS1201, giving advance notice stops message and sends (step S3601).The routine library 1201b that has accepted the java applet of expiry notification and OS1201 knows to POD Lib1205e to stop message transmission (step S3602) after finishing necessary processing.POD Lib1205e stops the transmission (step S3603) of message.
In addition, the subroutine on the POD504 needs also to know that the message informing destination is changed.The process flow diagram of Figure 38 action that to be expression POD Lib1205e changed to POD504 notification message notice destination.
POD Lib1205e is for POD504, and giving advance notice stops message transmission (step S3701).The POD504 that has accepted expiry notification knows that to POD Lib1205e stopping message sending (step S3702) after finishing necessary processing.POD Lib1205e stops the transmission (step S3703) of message, sets new distribution destination (step S3704).At last, the POD Lib1205e new distribution destination notice POD504 (step S3705) that will set.
In addition, the notice that the routine library 1201b of java applet that resets and OS1201 also can accept to have set.The routine library 1201b of java applet and OS1201 not only accepts message from POD504, and the situation that transmits the message to POD504 is arranged.Specifically, can be set forth in the password of among the PPV user being imported and be sent to POD504 etc.Send effectively if can know message, then do not need invalidly to transmit message.
In embodiment 1, registered java applet is kept in the secondary storage part 510, but also can implements to be kept in storage part 511.
Under being kept at situation in the storage part 511, when power remove, the information complete obiteration of preservation.But as mentioned above, if download the execution java applet according to XATI, then the java applet of Zhi Hanging will self be registered among the POD Lib1205e, so can restore.But, in this case, power connection a little while after, the routine library 1201b of OS1201 just begins action, so produce to switch.Figure 39 is that expression end device 500 is behind power connection, until the process flow diagram of the action of being changed from the message dispensing of POD504.If energized in end device 500 (step S3801), then the program of end device 500 and POD504 is started, and establishes message dispensing (step S3802) between POD504 and routine library 1201b.AM1205 downloads java applet according to XAIT information, and JavaVM1203 carries out this java applet (step S3803).Under java applet need carry out situation with the message of POD504, will self be registered in (step S3804) among the PODLib1205e.According to the process flow diagram of stipulating among Figure 29, Figure 30, change message dispensing (step S3805) as required.
On the other hand,, under situation about registered java applet being kept in the secondary storage part 510, after energized, in registered java applet, distribute message, replace the routine library 1201b of OS1201 from POD504 as enforcement mode 1.But as mentioned above, if download the execution java applet according to XAIT, then the java applet of Zhi Hanging will self be registered among the POD Lib1205e, so become double registration.In order to prevent double registration, PODLib1205e does not accept the registration of the java applet registered.Figure 40 is that expression end device 500 is behind power connection, until the process flow diagram of change from the action of the message dispensing of POD504.If energized in end device 500 (step S3901), then the program of end device 500 and POD504 is started, according to the log-on message that secondary storage part 510 is preserved, between POD504 and java applet or routine library 1201b, establish message dispensing (step S3902).AM1205b downloads java applet according to XAIT information, and JavaVM1203 carries out this java applet (step S3903).Under java applet need carry out situation with the message of POD504, (step S39040 among the POD Lib1205e will self be registered in.POD Lib1205e is with reference to secondary storage part 510, and whether investigation has registered identical java applet (step S3905).If do not preserve, then carry out location registration process, according to the process flow diagram of Figure 29, Figure 30 regulation, change message dispensing (step S3906) as required.
Have again,, can carry out following application by embodiment 1,2,3.
If massaging devices such as personal computer and portable phones, then the present invention is suitable for.
In addition, POD504 is removable mode, but also can implement built-in.Have, under built-in situation, remove the CPU706 of POD504, CPU514 also can implement the action of CPU706.
The java applet of registering among the POD Lib1205e is not only the java applet of download, even and built-in in advance java applet, also can implement.In addition, if removable storage mediums such as dismounting SD storage card are then controlled socket, can be taken into java applet therefrom.In addition, install and be connected to network of network portion, can take out java applet from network.
And in embodiment 1～3, the only subroutine on the POD504 is to the java applet message of providing and delivering, but plural subroutine and java applet can implement to provide and deliver individually respectively message.Figure 41 represents an example of a plurality of subroutines on the POD504 and the dispensing of the message between a plurality of java applet.Subroutine A4001, subroutine B4002, subroutine C4003 action in POD504, on end device 500, java applet X4011, java applet Y4021, java applet Z4013 action.The path of the message dispensing that arrow 4021,4022,4023,4024 expressions are set.From the path 4021 of subroutine A4001, make subroutine and java applet one to one to the dispensing of java applet X4011 setup message.On the other hand, subroutine B4002 has the path of message dispensing in two java applets of java applet Y4012, java applet Z4013.On the contrary, java applet Z4013 receives message from two subroutines of subroutine B4002, subroutine C4003.
In addition, in the figure from subroutine to the java applet message of providing and delivering, but also can implement from java applet to the subroutine message of providing and delivering.In addition, also can exchange messages by bidirectional mode.
Here, in the dispensing path of message, dispensing message pathway ID, subroutine and java applet use message pathway ID, transmission the other side that also can particular message.In addition, when the registration java applet, replace the identifier of the java applet that will register simultaneously, promptly use this message pathway ID, also can implement the present invention.For the java applet of contention and the message pathway of the subroutine on the POD504,, can specificly carry out the java applet of message dispensing according to action classification etc.Perhaps, definition is used to discern the subroutine identifier of the subroutine on the POD504, when the registration java applet, replaces the identifier of the java applet of registration simultaneously, promptly uses this subroutine identifier, also can implement the present invention.
In addition, the usage operation classification is determined the java applet of dispensing message, but also usage operation classification is not determined according to the rule that the java applet of last registration java applet priority scheduling preferential or registration earlier pre-establishes.
In embodiment 1～3, the action of the java applet of registering among the POD Lib1205e means the action of accepting the message dispensing.That is, java applet moves by the dispensing of accepting message.On the other hand, java applet generally can parallelly carry out a plurality of processing.In the present invention, other processing for the java applet beyond the processing of moving by the dispensing of accepting message has can not have all restrictedly to implement.
In addition, as illustrating in the above-mentioned embodiment, POD Lib1205e accepts the message dispensing registration as the java applet of the dispensing object of message is also accepted to eliminate (promptly not registering) simultaneously.
Figure 42 is the process flow diagram that is summarised in the action of the PODLib1205e under the situation of registering java applet among the POD Lib1205e.
The registration of (at least one side or the both sides that comprise transmission/reception) if the message that POD Lib1205e accepts to carry out with java applet is provided and delivered, then secondary storage part 510 is preserved necessary information (information for example shown in Figure 28) (step SX101), the identifier of java applet by will having accepted registration in step SX101 and in secondary storage part 510 identifier of other java applets of registration compare, judge the java applet (step SX102) that in secondary storage part 510, whether has with the identifier same identifier of the java applet of having accepted to register.
Its result, in secondary storage part 510, have the java applet of same identifier situation (promptly in step SX101 for another java applet of same identifier being arranged with the java applet of having accepted registration, accept situation about finishing by PODLib1205e before moment that is registered in step SX101 of dispensing of message) under (being "Yes" among the step SX102), POD Lib1205e sends the object that is stopped for message, specifically, another java applet for registration in the secondary storage part 510 (promptly has the java applet same identifier with the registration of having accepted the message dispensing in step SX101, finish another java applet of the registration of accepting message dispensing) and the routine library 1201b of OS1201, notice stops message transmission (step SX103) in advance.Having accepted the java applet of expiry notification and the routine library 1201b of OS1201 (provides and delivers (promptly in the message that stops from POD504 in the end necessary processing, the not registration of registration message dispensing) the inter-process of preceding necessity that will finish), knows stop (the step SX104) of message transmission to POD Lib1205e.Accepted this and known that the POD Lib1205e of notice eliminates original (being registered in the secondary storage part 510 from POD504, become the object that stops from the dispensing of the message of POD504) java applet or with the registration of the message dispensing of the routine library 1201b of OS1201 (promptly, do not register), stop message dispensing (step SX105) to java applet.Then, the java applet of having accepted registration in notifying step SX101 begins back (the step SX106) that message is provided and delivered, by accepting among the step SX101 registration from the message dispensing of POD504 to the java applet of having accepted registration, the dispensing that makes message is (step SX107) effectively.
On the other hand, in secondary storage part 501, do not have under the situation of java applet of same identifier (being "No" among the step SX102), POD Lib1205e has accepted registration in notifying step SX101 java applet begins message dispensing back (step SX106), by accepting among the step SX101 registration from the message dispensing of POD504 to the java applet of having accepted registration, the dispensing that makes message is (step SX107) effectively.
Figure 43 be gather POD Lib1205e eliminate java applet registration (that is, do not register with secondary storage part 510 in the registration of message dispensing of registered java applet) situation under the process flow diagram of action of PODLib1205e.
If POD Lib1205e accepts the elimination (step SX201) of java applet, then for becoming the java applet of eliminating object, the dispensing (step SX202) of giving advance notice and stopping message.The java applet of having accepted expiry notification (is stopping from the dispensing of the message of POD504 (promptly finishing necessary processing, the not registration of the dispensing of registration message) the inter-process of preceding necessity that will finish), knows the dispensing (step SX203) that stops message to POD Lib1205e.The POD Lib1205e that has accepted this notice by eliminate (promptly not registering) in the java applet of registration in the secondary storage part 510 as the registration of the message dispensing of the java applet of the object that is requested to eliminate, stop from POD504 message dispensing (step SX204) as the java applet of object.Then, POD Lib1205e accepts registration with the dispensing of the message of POD504 by the routine library 1201b to 0S1201, makes and the message dispensing of the routine library 1201b of OS1201 effectively (step SX205).
In addition, another java applet of registration or the java applet of new registration are arranged in the secondary storage part 510 in step SX205, when carrying out one of them message dispensing of (maybe can carry out) and these java applets, by carrying out POD504 and accept and registration as the message dispensing of the java applet of object, also can make with as the message dispensing of the java applet of object effectively.And, if with the dispensing of the message of POD504 in as the routine library 1201b of java applet that distributes object and OS1201 mutually and deposit (promptly, there is not mutual contention), then accept the registration with the message dispensing of the routine library 1201b of OS1201, the message of also can in routine library 1201b, providing and delivering as the java applet of object and OS1201.
As described above, according to embodiment, by not eliminating original program, the interim replacement, carried out the program of downloading, and in the renewal (displacement) that can carry out program, also can easily return original program.
