- Embodiment 1 a user interface requests the locking of a workshop card.
- a vehicle traveling data recorder data management software system comprises a smart card component, a vehicle traveling data recorder (VDR) communication component, a database component and a user interface component, and according to this invention, the vehicle traveling data recorder data management software system (VDRDMS) further comprises a mediator component. Due to the existence of this mediator component, any of the other components is connected to the mediator component via three interfaces, therefore all the components form a star-like structure with the mediator component at the center. These three interfaces are, respectively, a data interface, a control interface and a security interface. During the practical operation of the system, except the vehicle traveling data recorder (VDR) communication component, all the other abstract components can be made into concrete examples.
- the definition of locking is to write the data on a user interface into a workshop card, and once it is written in, it would no longer be able to write again. If a user interface requests the locking of a workshop card, the user interface issues a command first to examine whether the workshop card is in existence and whether it is a legal workshop card; if the workshop card is not in existence or is not qualified, no further operation will be performed. If the workshop card exists and is a qualified one, the data on the user interface will be written into this workshop card.
- the mediator component coordinates all of the following operations, and all these operations are performed through the mediator component.
- the write-in process is divided into three parts, this is because the data interface can write only one piece of data each time, the write-in process can only be completed by writing through the data interface three times.
