Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for creating a
  • Data processing program in which a number of modules stored in a storage unit are selected in a task-specific manner and linked to one another.
  • Data processing systems are used in a variety of scales in the context of automation processes that can be used in comparatively large, complex systems in the industrial sector or in decentralized, comparatively small components in the mobile sector or in consumer products.
  • a data processing program is usually implemented on a data processing system, which enables the function-oriented mode of operation of the respective system or the respective component by appropriately processing data.
  • a suitably selected sequence of commands is usually created or specified. This is carried out sequentially when the data processing program is executed, the individual command steps being processed one after the other in the predetermined sequence.
  • Such a procedure when creating a data processing program can, however, lead to comparatively complex structures, which in particular makes subsequent revision or modification of the respective data processing program more difficult.
  • the use of task-specific prefabricated components or modules is increasingly being used in the creation of data processing programs.
  • These modules are usually stored on a storage unit for the creation of the actual program and are kept ready there. If necessary, these modules, each of which can be geared towards the provision of suitable intermediate results, such as the output of text elements or the execution of certain logical operations, are still selected and linked to one another in order to create the actual data processing program.
  • a sequential sequence of suitably selected processing steps is specified in the manner of a main program, a module suitable for executing the functions required for this being called up in the manner of a subroutine in each processing step.
  • methods of this type for creating a data processing program also have the disadvantage that, especially in the case of comparatively complex structures, a subsequent change or reprogramming can be particularly complex.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a method for creating a data processing program, in which a number of modules stored in a storage unit are selected in a task-specific manner and linked to one another, with which, in order to ensure particularly high flexibility, a subsequent change or adaptation of the data processing program is made possible in a comparatively simple manner.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention by identifying each selected module via a central assignment module in order to link the selected modules to one another is assigned, which identifies the next module to be called after passing through the respective module.
  • the invention is based on the consideration that a considerable contribution to the complexity in the customary methods for creating data processing programs and the resulting lack of flexibility in relation to subsequent change options by the ones which are usually already specified during the creation of the data processing programs and beyond there is also a strict sequence of commands.
  • the specification of the sequence to be followed in the sequential run in the command sequence should therefore be postponed to a particularly late point in time when the data processing program was created.
  • the method for creating a module designed for a dialogue between the user and the data processing system is particularly Processing program suitable.
  • An input / output module or a module for human-machine communication is advantageously created as a data processing program.
  • Dialog modules such as selection modules, multiple selection modules or input modules, text components, such as short text units, entire documents or parts thereof, and / or action components, such as instructions for starting other programs, can in particular be used as modules to be linked and stored in the storage unit. be provided.
  • the method is particularly suitable for creating customized dialogues based on a particularly large number of possible information sources or text modules. Especially when it comes to documenting extensive know-how, a targeted query and presentation of individual pieces of information that is adapted to a specifiable question can be particularly important. In this case, the entirety of the available information can be stored in the storage unit as a large number of individual text modules or documents.
  • the creation of a dialogue adapted to a predefinable question, through which the particularly relevant information can be specifically selected from the large variety of information can be achieved in a particularly advantageous manner by specifying suitable links between individual text modules, which can also be supplemented by teaching programs. in the assignment block.
  • the targeted management or structuring of the dialog or dialog module to be created merely requires the assignment of a respectively adapted identifier to the selected text modules, the information or information modules stored in the storage unit as a whole being able to be retained unchanged.
  • an assignment table is used in an advantageous embodiment, in which, for each module provided for the application, in addition to the identifier identifying the module to be called subsequently, a number of parameter parameters are stored, on the basis of which the parameters for a reliable call of the subsequent module are stored transferring parameters are identifiable. This ensures that when a subsequent module is called, the input values to be transferred with the characteristic values to be transferred are taken into account in any case. This reliably avoids that the necessary transfer of parameters for the need-based initiation of the functions of the subsequent module could be left unattended.
  • FIG. 1 An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail with reference to a drawing.
  • the figure schematically shows a system for creating a data processing program.
  • the system 1 is designed to create data processing programs with a comparatively high degree of flexibility, it also being possible to subsequently change or adapt the respective data processing program with little effort.
  • System 1 is designed in particular for creating a dialog module or input / output module, with which particularly inexpensive and a targeted way to enable human-machine communication.
  • System 1 is designed for the creation of data processing programs using prefabricated, task-specific components or modules 2.
  • the system 1 comprises a central computer unit 4, on which the actual processes during the creation of data processing programs run.
  • the computer unit 4 communicates, as indicated by the double arrow 6, with a memory unit 8 in which the modules 2 are stored.
  • the computer unit 4 accesses the modules 2 stored in the storage unit 8 as required and selects suitable modules 2 depending on the task and depending on the functions to be performed by the data processing program to be created.
  • the modules 2 are then suitably linked to one another, in the manner of a compilation in the computer unit 4 on the basis of the task-specifically selected modules 2, an independently operable data processing program. is generated.
  • the system 1 is designed in such a way that the specification of a sequential sequence of program steps is moved to a comparatively late step in the generation of the data processing program ,
  • the modules 2 are selected and linked using an assignment table 10 stored on the computer unit 4 and configured in the manner of a structure list.
  • the assignment table 10 comprises, in the manner of a matrix-like organization of information in a first column 12, a list of the modules 2 to be activated for the respective data processing program, each module 2 to be activated being stored by means of a module-specific identifier.
  • the assignment table 10 further comprises a further column 14, in which, for each module 2 mentioned in column 12, it is specified which module 2 is to be called next when the data processing program is run after the respective module 2 has been run through.
  • the assignment table 12 also includes a third column 16, in which a number of parameter parameters are stored for each module 2, which are to be transferred to the module 2 to be called up as input variables for this module 2.
  • an identification is first assigned to each selected module 2 on the basis of the assignment table 10, which identifier identifies the next module 2 to be called up after the respective module 2 has run. Furthermore, the parameter parameters stored in the third column 16 specify which input data are to be transferred to the next module 2 to be called.
  • the assignment table 10 By using the assignment table 10, a sequential listing of the modules 2 to be used is not necessary at first. Rather, the modules 2 to be used can be listed in the assignment table 10 in any order, without impairments thereby occurring during the actual creation of the data processing program. As a result, a comparatively high degree of flexibility in creating the data processing program can be achieved by suitably linking the modules 2. In particular, subsequent processing or modification of the data processing program is possible in a particularly simple manner, a fundamental structural change in the data processing program already being made by corresponding changes. tion of an assignment within the assignment table 10 can be reached. The sequential sequence of successive command sets that is actually to be taken into account is done only by an individual assignment, in which each module 2 is assigned the module 2 to be called up in the assignment table 10. In global terms, ie with reference to the entire data processing program to be created, the sequential sequence of individual commands is only required at a comparatively late stage, namely when an executable program is generated.
